Episode Description
UnaliWear founder Jean Anne Booth talks with Logan Plaster about building the Kanega Watch, a wearable medical alert designed around a simple but overlooked truth: a device only protects you if you're willing to wear it. Jean Anne walks through her mother’s response to wearing a “garage door opener around her neck,” the patented battery system that enables full-time wear, the technical challenge of detecting falls on the wrist, and what it took to become a repeat Wirecutter pick in a direct-to-consumer market built on trust.
