José Antonio Gómez, technologist and CEO of MovilTecno.com, explains that although they are a technology goods store, they specialize above all in products for the elderly and especially in the case of this new launch, products for people with Alzheimer's disease.

„When we decided to market this type of product,​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ and we saw that there is no company that sells this type of device without a monthly fee, and that there are many families who cannot afford this type of technology financially. The price of the device. , but precisely because of the monthly fee,” explains José Antonio Gómez, who adds, „Together with the manufacturer we designed an application with no additional cost, without payment, focusing only on our commercial range. In the sale of the device, we decided to enter this type of product, because I think it is something beneficial for the consumer .

In this sense and as Gomes points out, „Every day there are more elderly people and they demand more of it from us,” which is why they pay great attention to analyzing and implementing all the services that can make life easier for the elderly.

You can establish a sequence of numbers so that when you call the watch from the app, it will automatically be on the hook. Similarly, the number that is not remembered in the phone book It automatically rejects all calls.

As Jose Antonio Gomez, technical expert and CEO of MovilTecno.com, points out, falling on the floor is one of the main concerns of their families, so it is one of the features they work with the manufacturer. The new model is an „innovative sensor with fall detection that notifies family members immediately if the person is hit or falls to the ground and becomes unconscious.” A sensor with seven levels of sensitivity is adjustable depending on the amount of daily person movement.

These include a heart rate monitor and blood pressure meter that can be activated right from the mobile app. „For example, if a child wants to know what their father's or mother's blood pressure is at a certain time, they can take it through the app or the person themselves can activate it in the monitor, and store the results. For three months.”

El Ejido or the province, rather the whole country, its online store is one of the first in Spain to offer innovative technological products.
