“Saving lives has always been at the heart of what we do at Medical Guardian, and with a community of over 300,000 seniors nationwide, we are grateful to have the privilege of providing life safety protection to those who need it most,” said Geoff Gross, founder and CEO, Medical Guardian. “As we continue to see the convergence of Age Tech and Healthcare, we’ve felt there was a special opportunity for us to do more. Our team designed all of the software and user experience design for the MGMove, ensuring our customers can easily navigate the growing barriers in their life such as loneliness, memory loss, and declining mobility.”
According to an AARP study, 90 percent of people age 65 and over would prefer to stay in their own homes as they get older vs. going to a nursing home or assisted living facility. Designed with simplicity in mind — complete with easy-to-use features and a simplified interface — the MGMove smartwatch has several features that allow users to live independently while remaining safe, active, and connected.
“The features of the MGMove are extremely intentional, each designed to promote greater wellbeing for our customers,” said Gross. “The watch itself and its safety alert capabilities are meant to give users more confidence in their safety when going out; the two-way talk feature helps reduce social isolation by connecting users with loved ones; and the reminder system is built in to ward off cognitive decline.”
A safety net for older adults, the MGMove smartwatch can also share Care Circle information with caretakers and loved ones, which includes location, activity or inactivity levels, battery life of the device, and more.
