Cradle is an ear wearable that aims to empower seniors with autonomy and assurance. The sensors from Cradle pick up clear biometric data due to the strong pulse rates around the ear, enabling accurate tracking of health for seniors all day. Speaking to Cradle can help seniors organise personal calendars or communicate emergency needs. Cradle also comes with a mobile application that visualises the health of seniors to provide them and their families with the assurance of health.
