Seniors Keeper is a smart door lock designed for elderly people living alone. The lock connects to vital signs sensing devices such as smartwatches. When an emergency is detected at home, the lock emits red light, projects a call for help, notifies emergency contacts and opens the door automatically. Neighbours or rescue workers can then speak with the resident through the microphone and speaker built into the lock. A motor drives the lock core, so the door can be opened even when it is locked from the inside. The lock has a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 50 mm.
