Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.       Making an affordable smart watch for the health and safety of older adults.    That is what a company called Ping Cares is doing.   It has a smart watch priced at under one hundred dollars with service …including emergencies and unlimited phone calls…starting at about fifteen dollars a month.   Founder  Sean Liu had his own grandparents as inspiration..

“We don’t believe in making a ton of profit, especially at an individual level.  So we priced it at a very affordable rate with the hopes of helping as many lives as we can.”

There is health tracking…steps and heartrate along with blood oxygen and temperature and with a more premium plan at 25 dollars a month…the alerts and data can be shared with family members.  Find more info at www.pingcares.com.
