Monitoring Services
The UnaliWear watch is always connected to an emergency response team. They’re always listening and on-call. So if anything happens, they can respond immediately. If you need assistance, you can just call out. This is a real game-changer because the biggest problem with many medical alert systems is that the client can’t reach the system in order to call for help when they need it the most. Your Kanega watch will respond to your voice commands and send help accordingly. When you first set up the watch, you'll be asked to tell it its “name.” Then you’ll be asked to repeat this twice more to train the system to recognize your voiceprint.
Product Features
The Kanega medical alert watch is definitely one of the most advanced of its kind. It is loaded up with cool features that are as neat to program as they are safe to have. Some of the noteworthy ones include:
- Fall detection
The Kanega has built-in fall detection. If the watch thinks you’ve fallen, it will begin with a small alert sound and an emergency message on the display. If there is no response from you, you will automatically be connected to an emergency response operator who you can speak with directly through your Kanega watch.
- Voice-controlled
This is one of the most important features for seniors and anyone who requires medical assistance. Voice-control means you don’t have to press buttons or get to a receiver to contact medical staff. This is vital in an emergency situation, considering the fact that you may not be mobile enough to get to a base station or to press a button.
- Emergency response
Speak to an emergency medical operator directly through the watch. If you need assistance, the operator will send emergency services or get in touch with your friends and family to help you out.
- Medication reminders
Medication alerts can be programmed into this watch, delivering text or voice reminde
- GPS location
Loved ones can always keep track of where you are. So you’re never lost, even if you’re disoriented.
- Quick-swap battery system
The system provides you with a backup battery and a built-in reminder. So you never need to take off your watch, and risk forgetting to put it back on or being out of range while it’s charging.
- Waterproof
The Kanega watch is waterproof, an important feature considering the fact that so many accidents happen while in the shower, while playing sports, or in the rain.
UnaliWear also has an amazing “Guide me home” assistance feature coming soon. This will help guide someone home in the event that they’ve become disoriented.
Installation Process
The Kanega is a wearable medical alert in the form of a stylish watch. This is music to most people’s ears because it means you won’t have to deal with any complicated installations. Just strap the watch on like any other accessory, and your medical alert system is good to go. It’ll go with you wherever you go and keep you connected to an emergency medical response team at all times.

About UnaliWear
The name UnaliWear comes from the Cherokee word Unalii, which means friend. The watch title, Kanega, means speak. Ultimately, UnaliWear is a company that is trying to tell its customers they’re friends that want to speak to you. Launched by Jean Anne Booth out of concern and love for her own elderly mother, UnaliWear watches were born to overcome the challenges of aging safely in today’s more active and independent senior society. The idea of including artificial intelligence into a medical alert system was revolutionary, and UnaliWear utilizes the technology proficiently. The Kanega watch can monitor a wearer’s behavior, learn from the various movements, and understand motion patterns. Then the system can actually provide predictive support for any changes in the regular motion, speech, or activity level patterns it’s learned.
