Senior-Centric Smartwatches

This Standalone Smartwatch Links Seniors With Their Service Providers

— August 29, 2023 — Tech
It's been a decade since Omate introduced the world to its 'TrueSmart' smartwatch, with the company marking the 10-year anniversary of that historic product launch to introduce a new and improved successor in the form of the 'TrueSmart 2,' a standalone smartwatch which is targeted towards seniors and the professional service providers who cater to them.

The 'TrueSmart 2' is equipped with a sleep tracker, heart-rate monitor and reliable connectivity features in the form of Wi-Fi and 4G LTE that makes it possible for emergency services to be quickly and easily alerted in the event of an accident or fall. Meanwhile, features such as fall detection and non-movement alerts are included and are connected to concerned services such as tele hearthcare and insurance providers.

Laurent Le Pen, CEO and founder over at Omate, said the advent of the 'TrueSmart 2' represents a historic step in the smartwatch category as it pertains to assisting the elderly. "The TrueSmart 2 is our vision for the coming decade to help seniors stay safe and live their lives with confidence," said Le Pen. "We are committed to delivering a premium experience, seamlessly blending functionality and style to our customers."
