CareAlert is a device that looks after the wellbeing of seniors living independently. It allows caregivers to contact seniors via voice using an app, and is independent of any cell phone or landline.

CareAlert contains no camera to maintain the dignity and privacy of seniors. Installation is as simple as plugging them into an outlet. 


Founded in 2016, CareAlert is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

This episode was recorded at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
