Saudi Arabia’s elderly population is projected to double by 2030, creating urgent needs for innovative care solutions. At Me’kaaz, we’re at the forefront of this transformation with our SFDA-approved wearable technology – the Neda’ emergency response band and Sanad health monitoring band. This article explores how these advancements align with Saudi Vision 2030’s healthcare goals while giving families unprecedented peace of mind.
