An Emergency-Detecting Smart Bracelet for the Elderly
From: Medical Design Technology - 11/19/2015

World-leading nano-electronics research center imec and UEST, a Belgian
start-up company, announced today that they have started the production of
Zembro, a smart bracelet designed to enable the elderly to connect with their
relatives immediately, anytime and anywhere. Zembro is the first commercial
product from UEST.

Zembro connects the elderly safely and securely with their families and
connections, enabling them to stay out of the hospital or nursing home and
live independently as long as feasible. The smart watch functions
intuitively, with a clear and easy-to-understand human interface. Without
visible buttons, it functions immediately after charging the battery. Zembro
incorporates a mobile phone with one-touch finger activation. It also uses
GPS location tracking and smart algorithms to autonomously detect emergency
situations. On a fully-charged battery, Zembro lasts 24/7 for more than 10
days. It can be worn indoors as well as outdoors, and even in the shower or
when doing the dishes, because it’s IP67 waterproof.
