The theme of the mobile device (phone, smartphone) is quite relevant. Even the number of topics about phones for older people in Habré, for example, here , here and here, can serve as proof of this. Seeing that such a device will be in demand, manufacturers are also trying to make their contribution. So, recently, KDDI presented an interesting Mi-Look device, which is a hybrid of a communicator, a GPS tracker, a pedometer, and several other devices.
Mi-Look, according to the manufacturer, is primarily intended for families with grandparents who are not very familiar with modern technology, and who have a health problem (mental / physical - no difference). This problem is probably known to many representatives of the Habrasoobschestva.

So, Mi-Look is like an autonomous device that does not require special intervention from the owner. True, such a device is more suitable for older people who are lost when they go out and may forget where they are. Mi-Look constantly tracks the location of the owner, sending information about the current location of the person to the e-mail specified in the settings.
In addition, the Mi-Look has an emergency call function: just pull the special strap, and the call goes, the relatives will find out that the person needs help. The device can also serve as a mobile phone, while the Mi-Look can be configured so that the call will be accepted automatically, without the need for the owner to intervene.
The Mi-Look's case is moisture resistant, the display is QVGA, there are three physical buttons that allow you to perform certain functions, including answering a call. The device will be on sale in September of this year.
