Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Monitoring and Alerts

Unobtrusive monitoring of daily living and smart home monitoring using sensors (not video) can bring peace of mind to family and caregivers. GrandCare offers motion sensors that report wirelessly to the GrandCare system inside a home. These sensors can tell you about the general activity levels in the home and can alert family or caregivers about specific events or unusual activities like:

·       Decreased or increased activity

·       The fridge not being accessed during regular meal times

·       Excessive motion or wandering which might indicate a fall or medical symptom

·       Longer or shorter sleep periods

·       Late night door openings, etc.

Using an internet portal, activity levels can be assessed, problems pin-pointed or automatic alerts based on unusual activity can be established allowing caregivers or family members to be automatically messaged by text or email.  

Safety and Security

Safety and security is a major concern for aging loved ones living alone. Monitoring and ADL Alerts can provide peace of mind over the safety and security of loved ones. Our products in this category include specialized systems that can prevent and protect loved ones who may be hearing or visually impaired, becoming forgetful or are faced with a personal emergency requiring assistance.

Communication/Staying Connected

In 2010, Brigham Young University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pooled data from 148 different studies which involved 300,000 men/women across the developed world and found poor social connections had on average a 50% higher chance of death following the follow up period of some 7.5 years compared to those with more robust social ties.  As Time Magazine, summed it up " Recipe for Longevity: No Smoking, Lots of friends".
Technology can enable communication for the benefit of loved ones and family members when distance is an issue. We have technology solutions that can facilitate sendign messages, email, calendar updates and and pictures to a touchscreen using either  GrandCare or our other independent software packages. Senior Friendly software products make computers simpler and much easier to use allowing everyone in the family to stay connected for the benefit of all.

Brain Fitness/Cognition

Just like physical fitness is improved by exercising the body, the idea behind brain fitness technologies is that by keeping your mind sharp and performing brain fitness activities, cognitive abilities can be maintained or improved. There is strong evidence that high levels of mental activity by way of various challenging activities can reduce age-related dementia such as Alzheimer’s.
