Christie P.
Vibrating Alarm Watch
Easy to use, solid vibration, thank you
I have had vibrating watches before; this watch is the best I had purchased yet!

Heather G.
Doorbell
Fantastic works a treat the flashing light is great - now my mum can know if someone's at the door - it can also change to chime as well. So pleased to have purchased

Tony D.
Wireless Caregiver Pager
This is the second one we have bought. A very effective pager that has very good wireless coverage. We use it for paging from the house to the garage and other locations on a quite large property and it works through multiple walls without failure. Reasonably priced also. Overall, very good value.

Tui E.
Caregiver Pager
As my mother's carer, I purchased the pendant & alarm combination about 15mths ago which has been fantastic & paid for itself more than once. Recently my mother had some health issues and I decided to add the SOS call button watch as it would be easier for her to activate. It just takes away some of the worry and I know she feels more secure. I have no hesitation in recommending Eldertech which I have already done so. Priced well & great communication.
Thankyou.

Jeff H.
Hearing Aid Batteries
Thank you. The cost of these in retailers is exploitative to elderly or anyone in need of basic human needs like hearing. Thank you for making it affordable for those on fixed incomes. I get these for my mum who isn’t in a position to pay what chemists and hearing specialists charge.

Brian S.
GPS Smart Tracker
I purchased this tracker for my 96-year-old uncle who was starting to get lost on his walk around town.
this tracker enabled him to live at home, and we were able to check his location and collect him if he got lost.
The battery life was excellent, and the GPS location was accurate.
Anthony was very helpful and knowledgeable about the tracker, easy to talk to.
Highly recommend this tracker.
Good value and peace of mind.

GPS Location Units & more

At ElderTech, we know that true freedom means being able to explore the world with absolute confidence, while giving your family total peace of mind. Our range of gentle, reliable GPS tracking units is designed to wrap an invisible safety net around your loved ones, ensuring they can enjoy their daily walks and independent outings safely. These lightweight, discreet devices are simple to use and bring comfort to the whole family through several caring features:

Real-time location sharing: Family members can gently check using text messages on a smartphone to see exactly where their loved one is at any moment.

Safe zone boundaries: You can easily set up virtual "safe zones" around the home or neighborhood, which send a soft notification to your phone if they wander a bit too far. (Works best in urban areas)

One-touch SOS button: A single, reassuring button on the device allows your loved one to instantly call for help and connect with family if they ever feel confused or lost.

Two-way voice calling: Many of our units act like simple hands-free phones, allowing you to speak directly to each other with crystal-clear sound to offer instant reassurance.

Fall detection alerts: Smart built-in sensors can detect sudden falls and automatically alert chosen contacts, even if the wearer cannot press the button themselves.

To keep your loved one reliably connected wherever they wander across New Zealand, each device operates using a simple monthly SIM card subscription. This small ongoing plan covers all the mobile data, continuous tracking, and emergency calling minutes needed to ensure the device is always online and ready when it matters most. Built to withstand the Kiwi weather and fully compatible with local networks, these comforting devices ensure that independence never means being alone. Each GPS unit is custom setup to your families' requirements.
