Neki
Why do we like Neki?
Problem
Elderly individuals with mild cognitive decline or early-stage Alzheimer’s face disorientation and wandering, which can lead to safety risks such as getting lost or experiencing falls. This situation generates anxiety among family members, who worry about their loved ones’ well-being. At the same time, older adults wish to maintain their independence for as long as possible, avoiding unnecessary confinement.
Solution
Neki offers discreet geolocation technology in everyday accessories such as pendants, belts, and bracelets. These devices, connected to a mobile app, allow families to track their loved ones in real-time, receive alerts if they leave a safe zone, and detect potential emergencies. By integrating the service into daily-use objects, Neki ensures that elderly users feel comfortable and not stigmatized.
Impact
By promoting autonomy and mobility while ensuring safety, Neki helps seniors stay active and independent for longer, reducing sedentary lifestyles and improving their quality of life.
