Mamolico's Milestone: 10,000 Units Shipped

In an age where families often worry about the wellbeing of their elderly loved ones, Mamolico, a service developed by Necolico, has achieved a remarkable feat, surpassing a total shipment of 10,000 units since its launch in August 2021. This monitoring service, designed to observe the daily activities of elderly individuals through their refrigerator's operation, emphasizes privacy while providing essential peace of mind for families.

The Journey of Mamolico

The journey began with the launch of the first-generation vibration sensor on August 30, 2021, officially introducing Mamolico's unique approach to elder care. The primary aim was to address the needs of families who wished to keep an eye on their aging parents without resorting to intrusive surveillance methods, such as cameras. This innovative approach has resonated with many, leading to the service's evolution over the years.

In June 2023, Necolico responded to customer feedback by releasing a second-generation sensor that enhanced night monitoring capabilities, increasing the observation frequency from twice a day to three times. This product quickly became a bestseller, significantly raising Mamolico's profile in the elder care market. The success story underscored how important it is for businesses to listen to their customers' needs, which remains a core principle at Necolico.

Parallel to product improvements, advertising efforts—including TV commercials—helped boost sales figures, with steady increases noted in shipment numbers. Necolico is set to release a new human-sensing device in July 2026, further expanding the monitoring options for families. A revamped smartphone application, Mamolico 2, was also introduced, demonstrating Necolico's commitment to user-friendly design and customer-centric development.

A Growing Need

This significant achievement is reflective of the increasing number of senior citizens living independently, prompting families to seek effective yet unobtrusive ways to stay connected with their loved ones. Mamolico’s method of monitoring daily life patterns—like changes in refrigerator usage—is recognized for fostering a comforting distance, alleviating the psychological burden on both caregivers and the elderly.

Necolico expresses profound gratitude towards its loyal user base and all partners involved in delivering the Mamolico service. Their support has been instrumental in reaching this impressive milestone.
