37 million accidental falls require medical attentional annually*
Addressing the global concern of accidental falls, the discreet and user-friendly caera emergency bracelet offers automatic fall detection and instant communication with emergency contacts. Its practical design, long battery life, and waterproof features ensure peace of mind for vulnerable individuals and their families.
The vision
Designing for safety, discretion, and simplicity.
Our design sends help promptly without the wearer needing to interact with a complicated interface. The discrete, non-stigmatising bracelet can auto-detect falls or be activated manually at the touch of a button to immediately voice call the listed emergency contacts.
The Outcome
A complex communication device, making life-saving technology simple and accessible.
We needed to design and build something that was essentially a phone – capable of voice calls with a microphone and speaker – but also waterproof, so users could continue to have peace of mind while getting in and out of the shower. We overcame this by integrating antennas into the casing, allowing a signal stronger than most mobile phones. The easy clip-buckle design is suitable for people with limited dexterity, and the long battery life and waterproof encasing means it can be worn over long periods, and in slippery areas with a higher fall risk.
