Navigil, a leading specialist in wearable products used by active older adults for wellness and personal safety purposes, has chosen AT&T to enable the launch of its solution in the U.S.
Navigil provides a comprehensive, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered wellness solution that consists of sensor-equipped Navigil 580 mobile wristwatches and online dashboards. The wristwatch features emergency messaging and automated alarms with location information. Wristwatches utilize AT&T's nationwide LTE-M cellular network that has been designed to support Internet of Things applications with lower costs, longer battery life, and smaller form factors.
Battery life is critical for mPERS (Mobile Personal Emergency Response Device) applications as well as remote wellness monitoring. Navigil's investments into ultra-low-power hardware and embedded software design, together with the AT&T LTE-M cellular network's power-saving features, minimize the risk of a drained-out battery. The Navigil 580 battery life is measured in weeks rather than in days. This is in a different category in comparison to regular consumer smartwatches or fitness devices that may require daily charging.
Navigil has implemented Amazon Web Services (AWS) based cloud services in conjunction with resilient private APNs hosted at AT&T data centers in Texas and Virginia.
Joe Drygas, vice president, AT&T Healthcare Industry Solutions
We're excited to be part of a solution that enhances quality of life, extends independent living, and provides peace of mind. This wellness monitoring wristwatch is another example of how our technology can help transform lives.
Matti Räty, Navigil's CEO
It is extremely important that our services are safe and have high availability. In many cases, people using our products depend on them. Because a lot of valuable wellness-related information is processed, we have created a reliable and robust infrastructure together with AT&T.
