| UnaliWear | Focus groups have named our Kanega watch a wearable “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.  Thanks to our patented battery system in the band, you never have to take yourwatch off to charge - and we don’t require a smart phone (because it's built in).  We combine cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS, BLE (for hearing aids and telemedicine devices), an accelerometer for automatic fall detection, and continuous speech to provide an active medical alert that works anywhere, along with data-driven artificial intelligence that learns the wearer's lifestyle (think "NEST for people") to provide predictive, pre-emptive support. | $3.5M | Series A | Jul 29, 2016 |  |
