Mercari Technologies’ launch of Familyr represents a significant advancement in personal safety technology. The device is specifically tailored for New Zealand’s unique needs and offers a comprehensive yet user-friendly solution for vulnerable individuals and their families.

Familyr distinguishes itself through its localized design approach. The personal safety technology addresses gaps in existing safety devices by combining emergency alert functionality with GPS tracking and automatic fall detection in a compact and wearable formats that align with active Kiwi lifestyles.

Familyr’s standalone devices operate independently on national mobile networks, eliminating dependency on WiFi, smartphone apps, or landline connections. This mobility proves particularly valuable for seniors wishing to maintain independence, individuals with dementia prone to wandering, and people with disabilities navigating daily activities beyond home environments.
