About
After my previous startups sold to Texas Instruments and Apple, I started UnaliWear because my mother is 80, and she isn’t willing to wear today’s emergency alert products because they’re ugly, limited outside the home unless they are tethered to a smart phone (which she doesn’t have), and those big help buttons are socially stigmatizing. Focus groups have named us “OnStar for people” because we provide discreet support for falls, medication reminders, and a guard against wandering in a classically-styled watch that features an easy-to-use speech interface rather than buttons. Unlike traditional medical alert products, we work wherever you are, 24x7 - and unlike Apple watch or Samsung Gear, we don’t require a smart phone. Both AT&T and Verizon want to sell our products in their stores. We’ve closed $700K in convertible debt angel funding, are members of StartUp Health accelerator, and launching a Kickstarter on Feb 17th.
