# Contact-Free Wellness Trackers The 'Safebed' Device Was Just Unveiled at CES 2016 By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-01-04 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safebed References: [prnewswire](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pro-athletes-sleep-tracker-helps-senior-citizens-live-independently-300198375.html) & [emfit](https://www.emfit.com/safebed/) 'Safebed' is a contact-free wellness tracker that was just debuted by 'Emfit' at CES 2016. In recent years, many companies have developed products that help seniors live on their own for longer. However, these devices can be problematic if they need to be carried or turned on and off throughout the day. Safebed provides an alternative to [wearable safety trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-sensor1) with an automated device that is entirely contact-free. Unlike other wellness trackers, Safebed is discrete and undetectable. The device itself is a durable sensor that is placed under a user's mattress. The sensor then provides health and wellness information by tracking the individual's sleep quality, heart rate and breathing rate. The device can even sense if an individual has fallen and not returned to their bed. This information can then be shared with loved ones in the form of push notifications or e-mails. The device ultimately helps [seniors live independently](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threshold-care) by helping family members stay informed about their health and wellbeing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Seniors](https://www.trendhunter.com/seniors) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contact-free Wellness Trackers:** Safebed provides a contact-free alternative to wearable safety trackers. - **Automated Wellness Monitoring:** Safebed offers automated health and wellness information by tracking sleep quality, heart rate, and breathing rate. - **Remote Health Monitoring:** Safebed enables the sharing of health information with loved ones through push notifications or e-mails. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can benefit from the disruptive innovation of contact-free wellness trackers like Safebed. - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore opportunities in automated wellness monitoring devices like Safebed. - **Aging Population:** The aging population industry can leverage remote health monitoring solutions, such as Safebed, to support independent living. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleep-Monitoring Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isleepad.md) - [Non-Intrusive Hydration Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safebeing.md) - [Health-Tracking Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eight-sleep-pod-3-mattress.md) - [Health-Monitoring Mattresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adjustable-smart-bed.md) - [Advanced Sensing Smart Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-number-360.md) - [Wi-Fi Elder Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-wireless-ai.md) - [Automated Emergency Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contactless-security-system.md) - [Remote Wellness Monitoring Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caregiver-aware.md) - [Senior-Focused Waist-Worn Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-sensor1.md)
