Need: Continued Currently, there is not an adequate system for assessing and attending day-today health of the elderly The Health Watch aims to provide for a health monitoring system By assessing vitals indicative of common health conditions, emergency aid and critical care can be provided promptly and accordingly

Product Idea 1. A health monitoring watch 1. An EKG chest component Information includes: – Temperature (temperature sensor) – Impact (accelerometer sensor) – Heart condition (portable EKG) – Blood pressure – Location (Global System for Mobile Communication, GSM) – Time

Product Idea: Continued Day-to-day Preset threshold tailored for individual Continuous monitoring of vital conditions Data continuously sent to database headquarters via wireless connection Emergency When vitals deviate from normal range, monitoring professionals are alerted Dispatch is sent to emergency services User is alerted and contacted Records storage Vital information sent to EMT Records sent to loved ones Individual file history is updated

Market Assessment Consumer Base Increasing number of elderly due to Baby Bomber Population currently reaching the age of 65 In 2020 it is expected that 1 in 6 Americans would be elderly Consumers might not be the users Family members of loved Consumer desires: Reliable coverage Ease of use Sources:
