A Personal Inspiration Becomes a Lifesaving Innovation
Imagine a terrifying scenario: an elderly parent, living alone, suddenly loses consciousness due to a severe drop in blood pressure. Hours pass before anyone realizes something is wrong. This nightmare became a reality for a friend of mine, whose quick action ultimately saved his mother's life. This incident highlighted a critical gap in elder care and inspired the creation of Suraksha Kavach, an innovative wearable device designed to protect and monitor seniors living independently.
The Growing Need for Elder Care Solutions
India's elderly population is expanding rapidly. According to the India Ageing Report 2023, the number of senior citizens is projected to reach nearly 200 million by 2031. With this demographic shift comes an increased need for solutions that address the unique challenges faced by the elderly, particularly those living alone.
Three primary concerns emerge:
Falls and accidents in an unmonitored environment
Undetected changes in vital health parameters
Inability to respond to domestic emergencies
Introducing Suraksha Kavach: Your Protective Shield
Suraksha Kavach, which means "protective shield" in Hindi, is more than just a wearable device. It's a lifeline that connects seniors with their caregivers and emergency services. Our device offers three core features:
Continuous Health Monitoring: Tracks vital signs and alerts caregivers to any concerning changes.
One-Touch SOS Button: Provides immediate access to help in emergencies.
Real-time Location Tracking: Ensures that assistance can be directed precisely where it's needed.
Market Potential: A Vast Opportunity
Our analysis reveals a Total Available Market (TAM) of 4.4 million seniors in India who could benefit from Suraksha Kavach. We've identified a Serviceable Available Market (SAM) of 528,480 tech-savvy and financially capable seniors. In our first year, we aim to capture 2% of this market, serving approximately 10,500 users.
