The global population is aging rapidly, increasing medical risks for millions of seniors living alone.

In the European Union, 21.6% of the population is aged 65 or older (as of January 2024) — nearly one in four people.

Worldwide, over 2.1 billion people will be aged 60+ by 2050 (compared to 1 billion in 2020), and those aged 80+ will reach 426 million.

Falls among older adults are one of the most common and serious public health challenges: they affect 1 in 4 people aged 65+ each year, and 37% of those incidents require medical care.

An aging world demands smart monitoring, rapid response, and continuous prevention.

When every second counts – especially in cases of falls or cardiac arrest – automating alerts to emergency services (e.g., 112 in the EU) and family can mean the difference between life and death.

The “Golden Hour” concept shows that intervention within the first 60 minutes after trauma significantly increases survival chances.

In critical cases like thoracic bleeding, the average time from incident to hospital arrival is around 137 minutes, with a mortality rate of 33%. Rapid pre-hospital interventions, especially within the first 10–20 minutes, are directly linked to lower mortality and shorter hospitalization.

eMedAlert’s role: automatic fall detection and instant alerting reduces call time, maximizing the chance of intervention during the “golden hour”.

Critical situations – falls, heart attacks, seizures – require immediate detection and response to save lives.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are conditions that do not spread from person to person and develop slowly. Examples include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, respiratory illnesses, and mental disorders. Most can be prevented through healthy lifestyles and continuous monitoring.

NCDs account for 74% of all global deaths (around 41 million/year) and 80% of premature deaths (<70 years old). In 2021, 18 million people died from NCDs before the age of 70.

In the Asia–Pacific region, NCDs caused 30% of deaths among youth aged 10–24 and nearly 55% of lost healthy years (DALY). In the Americas, 30% of deaths among adolescents and young adults (<25 years) are caused by NCDs.

NCDs are no longer just “diseases of the elderly” — they increasingly affect young, active adults.

Global obesity has tripled since 1975. In many countries today, there are more obese than undernourished people. 2.8 million deaths/year are attributed to overweight, and 7.5 million to hypertension — both preventable.

Digital monitoring of daily habits can prevent diabetes, heart disease, depression, and reduce healthcare costs and economic losses. Example: China lost $558 billion (2005–2015) due to early deaths from NCDs.

The WHO recommends integrating digital solutions for managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Telemedicine and IoT can enhance early screening and enable personalized treatments.

Telemedicine is already used in 77 % of EU countries; 84 % use teleradiology, and 51 % — telepsychiatry.

In rural areas of Germany, 72 % of respondents said they would use telemedicine in case of illness, citing fewer physical visits and earlier detection.

Telemedicine is a proven solution where medical staff is scarce and hospitals are far away.

The share of doctors using telemedicine rose from 43 % before the pandemic to 88 % after COVID-19.

87 % of patients report being “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with telemedicine consultations.

eMedAlert advantage: fully aligned with the telemedicine + IoT model, providing real-time monitoring in underserved and remote areas.

The number of smartwatch users worldwide was 454.7 million in 2024 and is projected to grow to 562.9 million in 2025 — up 24% year-over-year.

1 in 3 adults in the U.S. now uses a wearable device (smartwatch, fitness band) for health monitoring.

In March 2024, a global Statista survey showed that 57% of respondents in India and 53% in China owned a wearable device.

In Europe and Asia, smartphone adoption among people aged 60+ ranges from ~50% to over 80%, depending on country and infrastructure. Romania aligns with Central Europe averages: around 60–70%, with rapid growth.
