Market Problem: The Unseen Risks of Elderly Home Alone Without Care

As populations age globally, more elderly individuals are choosing or needing to live independently raises significant concerns, particularly when family members work far away and cannot provide daily support. Traditional care methods are often reactive rather than proactive, lacking the capability to monitor continuously, which can lead to delayed response in emergencies. Additionally, traditional environments may lack necessary safety features, leaving people vulnerable to accidents like falls, fires, or gas leaks, leading to potential risks and a lack of independence for those in need of care.
