Waiting for his father’s in-law Doctor’s appointment for almost 6-hours, traveling twice a day to visit at the hospital and later calling home every day when he is back home.

That’s how Dr. Mazlan Abbas, CEO, and co-founder of an IoT company FAVORIOT, describes his stressful and anxious moment whenever his in-laws are admitted to hospital or staying at home alone.

FAVORIOT specializes in Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Recently, FAVORIOT releases the latest Smart Health solution for the Senior Citizen called FAVORWATCH. The product is now at a Beta stage with several users are now trialing the solution.

As the world is facing an aging population issue with health care costs are rising, the elderly will have no better choice but to age in place with no one to take care of them because their children are working or lived at different places.

Even though health services have become better with more people living longer, the senior people tend to have increased number of chronic diseases as they age. Now, it’s the turn for their children to monitor them and ensure that they are having a safe, secure and healthy life.
