Company mission

To build a world in which people can grow old with no limits.

Our take

The Personal Alarm Watch is designed for elderly or at-risk users, who can use it to connect with a UK based 24/7 monitoring team in case of a health emergency. The device has won its fair share of accolades from The Design Council and the Social Care Awards.

It operates much like a smart watch with step counting, heart rate and blood pressure features, but its USP is that unlike most pendant alarms, its fashion accessory appearance allows it to be worn without any stigma.

Company co-founders Adi Kasliwal and Ewan Marshall have previous experience in the age-tech field, having sold their last company to a collective of National Health Service providers.

While their product is proving popular with its users, the next big steps for the company will be to scale up its operations and form astute business partnerships, while competing with legacy tech companies.
