Support at a distance
Informal Caregivers receive timely information and are able to react to the changing needs of their loved one. For instance: ADLs or falls and medication support. They have peace of mind that aspects of significant risk will be responded to even in their absence, and in knowing that their loved one will be treated with dignity, respect, and friendliness.
Family, Friends, and Community can remain connected and in touch, exchange news, plans, and memories even though they are distant.
Care Counselor services engage with subscribers, caregivers, and professionals by phone in a friendly and supportive capacity to remind, coach, listen to, mediate, and advise.
Hospital, Primary Care, or Homecare Teams receive timely information and trending reports. They have greater visibility of their client’s wellbeing and can case manage more effectively.

Independence
Connected Care uses technology in the home combined with personal support at a distance to enable a resident to remain independent for as long as possible. Connected Care solutions are individualized to match the needs of the resident.
Activity
Monitoring
Works at critical periods during the day when a person's activities around their home normally fit a regular pattern. If the pattern is broken then it may indicate that the resident has had an accident or is unwell and needs assistance, so a notification is automatically made to the resident's caregiver who can respond.
Environmental
Monitoring
Monitoring of temperature extremes, smoke, and flood enables a timely response by emergency services or by a caregiver to events that may be life threatening or pose a risk to property, health, or well being.
Emergency
24/7 help at the touch of a button or upon automatic detection of a fall.
Social
Engagement
The resident receives and views messages on their TV from friends, family, and community organizations. Messages can incorporate text, photo, or video, and using a TV remote the resident can respond to messages using simple multiple choice answers.
Medication
Management
Using an intelligent medication dispenser can make a simple routine out of what would have been a daunting and confusing medication regimen. It enables the resident to be reminded when it is time to take a dose and to dispense the right dose. A missed dose can be alerted to a remote caregiver, as can refill reminders or dispenser issues.
Health and
Wellness
Technology enables a resident to keep track of their health and for a caregiver to support them in doing so. This may be important in a non-medical sense to develop and encourage health behaviors relating to diet, activity and exercise, mood, and weight. It can also benefit people with a long term chronic condition by enabling them to manage their symptoms and remain as well as possible.

Mobile Safety
