Cerna Healthcare Launches the “SafePatch” for Seniors, a Patch That Detects Falls, Movement and Sends Text Messages If There Is an Emergency

The SafePatch aids in increasing safety for the elderly and disabled, while lowering care costs and improving quality of life with cutting edge technology.

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cerna Healthcare’s "SafePatch” is a safety wearable skin patch that monitors a loved one’s safety and well-being. It is the only safety device in the world that sticks directly to the body, provides Fall Detection, Activity Monitoring and Emergency Messaging. Should there be a medical emergency, the SafePatch send texts and alerts to loved ones and/or professional monitoring staff. The patch is small, light, water resistant and discreet which most people want more than devices that are unsightly and bulky.

With state of the art electronics and cellular reliability, Nick Payzant, Founder and CEO said, “It’s the most advanced personal senior safety system that exists today, we are using the latest semi-conductors, algorithms, AI and software to build this product.” Nick further explained, “Leveraging technology to assist our most vulnerable helps tremendously in today’s environment where our elders want to live at home and don’t want to deal with frequent recharging and interaction to operate it. My own mother would not wear a watch or pendant, which got me thinking about how to put a device on her that she wouldn’t care about or have to fuss with.” A product that loved ones are comfortable using is vital as family members are increasingly busy and our loved are now alone more often than ever.

The SafePatch with one week’s battery life is paired with powerful software called “FallSoft”, which enables the SafePatch to monitor falls and movement, all while being in a safe environment at home. Alerts and texts are emitted to family members and/or friends immediately should SafePatch send out an SOS, detect a fall, step count and if there is low battery.
