Ditch the wearable: now home devices can place emergency calls if someone falls

Vayyar Imaging revealed the new Walabot HOME device, the first of a senior-oriented line of products to assist people in emergency situations without the need of an alert wearable. 

Until now, independently living seniors' best option to keep themselves safe and connected to emergency help was to wear an alert pendant at all times. In response to a need for more choices, Vayyar Imaging has been developing a line designed with seniors in mind, and the flagship device of the collection, launched this week, is able to provide phone assistance in the event of a fall.
