Tech of The Month - WellBe

At Mercarik, we're committed to offering innovative solutions that enhance the lives of those we serve. This month we’re excited to highlight WellBe smart devices.

The wearable pendant, smartwatch, and smart speaker options make WellBe devices more than just a typical PERS; it's a personal safety companion with advanced features.

Accessibility: With the smart speaker, an individual can simply use their voice to call for help instead of pushing a button.

Health & Wellness Metrics: The smartwatch monitors heart rate and daily steps, while the smart speaker collects blood pressure, glucose, and weight data through voice commands.

Built to Endure: Both the pendant and smartwatch are water-resistant and equipped with precise GPS tracking for reliable location services.

Accurate Fall Detection: The smartwatch and pendant can quickly detect a fall and automatically call for help to ensure a rapid response after a hard fall.

Ready to explore how WellBe devices can benefit the individuals you support? Submit a referral or request a personalized PERS assessment today. We're here to help you find the perfect solution!
