RabindraNew Delhi, 17th June 2024 – Emoha, India’s leading eldercare brand, has partnered with SIS Alarms (VProtect), the nation’s top security and response firm, to launch GoSecure, a pioneering 24/7 emergency response service. Recognizing the challenges faced by seniors living alone, such as health risks and vulnerability to accidents, GoSecure offers them peace of mind with a dedicated panic button. When pressed, this button triggers an instant response system operational, seamlessly connecting seniors with a network of over 15,000 ambulance partners and geriatric care specialists for immediate assistance.
This remarkable alliance unites the strengths of two industry giants. Together, Emoha and SIS Alarms aim to establish a robust ecosystem that prioritizes the safety, security, and holistic well-being of India’s rapidly growing elderly population. Statistics from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) paint a clear picture: India’s elderly population is projected to account for a staggering 17% of the global senior citizen population by 2050, reaching a massive 347 million individuals. This figure is expected to surpass the number of children aged 0 to 15 years by 2046. Even more alarming, the report predicts a 279% increase in the population aged 80 and above between 2022 and 2050. GoSecure stands as a timely and much-needed solution. This innovative service empowers senior citizens with the peace of mind of knowing help is just a button press away, allowing them to live independently with greater confidence and security.
Talking about the partnership, Mr. Saumyajit Roy, CEO & Co-Founder of Emoha, said, “At Emoha, our mission has always been to enhance the lives of seniors through comprehensive care solutions that promote their independence, dignity, and overall well-being. This partnership with Sis (VProtect) marks a significant milestone in our journey. By combining our expertise and resources, we are introducing GoSecure, a first-of-its-kind emergency response service tailored specifically to the unique needs of our nation’s elderly. This innovative service not only provides immediate assistance during emergencies but also offers peace of mind to families, knowing that their loved ones are protected and cared for. As part of India’s 2047 vision, I hope for a Viksit Bharat that celebrates its Varisht Bharat elders with ‘moh’.
The GoSecure service is designed to be user-friendly and accessible. Elders or their caregivers can press a dedicated panic button that triggers an immediate response, connecting them to a network of emergency services, including ambulances and geriatric care specialists. This rapid response capability is crucial in reducing the time to treatment and potentially saving lives in critical situations. Additionally, the service aims to alleviate the anxiety of family members who may not be near their elderly loved ones, ensuring peace of mind through reliable and prompt support.
This collaboration with Emoha creates an essential synergy that allows us to deliver truly top-notch emergency response services for India’s elders,” said Shankar Subramanian, CEO of SIS Alarm Monitoring & Response Services. “Together, we will ensure a consistent level of care and compassion for our senior citizens, who are the bedrock of our society. Through this partnership, SIS reinforces our commitment to providing quality services that foster an environment where elders receive the love and respect they deserve. We are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of the elder community and recognizing their invaluable contributions to India’s social fabric.
