What is the best safety system a person with dementia is likely to wear day and night, to give their family meaningful reassurance?

Wearability is fundamental: what's the point of a cheap undesirable watch if it's not going to be worn.

For someone living with dementia (Altzimers or any other cognitive impairment) , a classic, conventional analogue watch can have several advantages:

• It doesn't immediately announce "I am wearing a dementia monitoring device."

• It preserves a person's sense of identity and normality.

• It uncomplicated and doesn't look like a medical device.

• An analogue watch face is familiar for someone accustomed to traditional watches.

• A quality leather strap can make it feel like a proper watch, rather than an alarm strapped to the wrist.

• The family isn't asking the person to wear something conspicuously associated with frailty or surveillance.

• Discrete watch features keep the wearer safe and support network informed. If the wearer wanders, needs help or if the family just need to remotely check that all is well - then check out the Companion Watch.
