In August 2024, RAZ Mobility released an update to its RAZ Memory Cell Phone. The updated version included new features aimed at reducing social isolation and improving emergency service access. The update introduced a "loneliness alerts" feature, which allowed caregivers to set a target for the number of calls the senior should participate in daily. If the target is not met, the caregiver receives a text message alert. Additionally, the update provided new options for accessing emergency services, including an emergency icon on the home screen, emergency services as a contact, and the ability to dial 911 using the keypad.
