6. Happy Gadget: Wearable alert watch
Funding goal: $100,000
Total pledged: $946+
Deadline: May 15
The Happy Gadget Alert Watch is a wearable device with medical-grade sensors designed for children to monitor vital signs and more.
Happy Gadget has a heart rate monitor, oximeter, sweat sensor, thermometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, microphone and vibration motor. It can be paired with Android and iPhone.
The sensors will alert a user to unusual changes in heart rate/rhythm, blood oxygen levels, sweat and humidity, skin temperature, sudden or lack of motion and hard falls.
Happy Gadget also has what they call a Base Station that increases the range of Bluetooth signals by up to 10 times so that the user can be alerted of the wearers condition from further away.

We would like to learn about raising money for a new electric dental drill we have developed.

Thanks, Alex. We’re not experts on fundraising. (We just write stories about people who are. 🙂 ) You might reach out to some of the people doing these crowdfunding campaigns, ask how things are going for them and whether they have lessons learned. If you have a medical device industry association in your area, they might be able to offer you some tips, too, or forward you to someone who can offer advice. Good luck with your endeavor!
