By tracking an older person’s movements at home, a new wearable device could help predict serious changes in health.

The newest wearable device isn’t for fitness fanatics or life loggers. It’s designed for older people who want to stay in their homes. Later this year CarePredict, a startup based in Davie, Florida, will begin shipping its first batch of wearable tracking systems intended to help relatives and other caretakers monitor the activity of older adults for early signs of serious health concerns. The system involves sensors worn on the wrist and stuck to walls inside the home to track activities in different rooms and alert someone of any suspicious changes.

Device-makers align around a wireless charging technology that works through tables to charge multiple devices—and it’s expected in products later this year.

For all the new features, functions, and blazing speeds of the latest mobile devices, most still share a common downside: limited battery life that eventually forces you to be tethered to a power cord and outlet.
