Why Senior Safety Needs a Reboot
Let’s face it, India’s senior population is ballooning faster than your uncle’s WhatsApp forwards. According to the latest JLL-ASLI report, seniors will make up almost 20% of the population by 2050. The 80+ segment alone is set to jump by a whopping 280%. With families getting smaller and cities getting bigger, many elderly Indians find themselves alone for longer stretches. That’s where a wearable like the Protec Neo can make all the difference.

Emergency SOS, No Tech Degree Needed
Here’s the headline feature: an Emergency SOS that’s simple enough for even the most tech-cautious seniors. Press and hold the dedicated button for five seconds, and voilà, the watch dials a pre-set emergency contact and sends an SMS with the wearer’s real-time location. And if the call goes unanswered? The live location keeps pinging for up to eight hours, so help is never far behind. This is a first for senior wearables in the Indian market.
Built for Comfort, Designed for Dignity
Co-developed with boAt, the Protec Neo isn’t just smart, it’s thoughtful. The 1.43-inch display is bright and easy to read, and the straps are designed to be gentle on older skin. Bluetooth calling lets seniors stay connected with up to 20 loved ones, hands-free. There’s even a customisable QR tray to store medical profiles, tickets, or payment info for easy access. No more hunting for that pesky medical card or train ticket.
Health Monitoring, From Afar
If you’re a caregiver, you’ll love the Protec Neo’s remote health dashboard. With the watch tracking heart rate, SpO₂, sleep cycles, and more, you can keep an eye on your loved one’s well-being from anywhere. The dashboard makes it easy to act quickly if something seems off. And with a 300 mAh battery promising up to five days on a single charge, there’s no constant nagging to recharge.
