UnaliWear offers the Kanega Watch, a medical alert smartwatch designed for seniors that prioritizes independence with dignity. Its core technology, RealFall™, utilizes real fall data for highly accurate fall detection with minimal false alerts, and it continuously improves through automatic remote updates. The Kanega Watch provides 24/7 protection, never needing to be removed for charging due to its patented quick-swap battery system. It offers reliable connectivity through both cellular and WiFi, connecting users to a live emergency agent via fall detection, button press, or voice activation. The company contrasts its product with general-purpose smartwatches like Apple Watch and Samsung Watch, highlighting its specialized safety features, user-friendly interface, and independent operation without requiring a smartphone.
