A bit of Technology can go a long way to helping individuals to
stay well, stay safe, stay independent and stay connected to loved ones and
caregivers. Here is a sampling of that technology:

CookStop StoveTop
Fire Prevention
Category:Safety/Security
CookStop™ is a proactive solution that stops the cause of stovetop cooking
fires, which are the number 1 cause of home fires by actually turning off the stove
if no one is in the room. CookStop helps prevent the possibility of dangerous,
unattended cooking fires which is the leading cause of stovetop cooking fires. CookStop™ can bring peace of mind and reduced
risk for an aging population and their families and caregivers but it is also appropriate
for student housing, busy families, with busy kids, and people with other challenges.
Lifetone HL Bedside
Fire Alarm & Clock
Category: Safety/Security
The Lifetone HL Bedside Fire Alarm and Clock ("Lifetone HL
Fire Alarm") is an assistive alerting device intended for individuals with
hearing loss or heavy sleepers. It is
placed next to a bed or their usual nighttime sleeping area. The Lifetone HL
Fire Alarm will detect the T3 emergency signal given by existing, properly
placed UL 217-listed smoke alarms and, when detected, will give its own
emergency signal at a lower frequency (520 Hz), which may be heard by
individuals with hearing loss. The
product also gives its emergency signals visually through a display screen and
through a tactile Bed Shaker, either of which would benefit hearing impaired individuals.
Brinno PeepHole
Viewer
Category: Safety/Security
The most basic home security tool you or your family can have is the
front door. The classic optical peephole that has been around for some 40 years
has poor image quality and it usually allows the visitor to know that someone
is at home because the viewer darkens when the user places their eye close to
the door. The Brinno PeepHole Viewer is a digital equivalent to the optical
peephole but it brings major benefits particularly for older individuals. The Brinno
Peephole view uses an LCD Panel and turns a hard to see PeepHole image into a
big bright image by compensating for low light images and for “fish eye”
distortion. A simple push button is used to see a larger image without
darkening the peephole.
For added protection, the viewer can also be installed with an image
recording function to record the visitor’s photo on a MicroSD card or the
viewer can be used with optional motion activated sensor and knocking sensor to
record the visitor’s photo even when there is no one home.
Seniorama Pointer –
Senior Friendly Software
Category: Communication/Staying Connected
Seniorama-Pointer is specifically intended for an aging population
with easy to use navigation and interface, customizable font/size settings,
simplified web browsing, and basic computer applications that can make a
difference including easy email, photo gallery, skype and brain fitness games

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 using the
following sensors:
Motion
Motion sensors tell you
about the general activity levels in the home and can alert caregivers or
family about specific events. For example: If the fridge is not opened during regular meal times, if meds are not accessed, if there is excessive wandering motions which could indicate a medical issue, if there is excessive motion which could indicate a fall, if there are longer or shorter sleep periods or if there are decreased or increased activity levels generally, etc.

door opens at the wrong time or isn’t opened at all.Doors can include pill cabinets, external doors, refrigerators or garage doors

button, an assigned action can be performed-for example, make a phone call,
restart communication slideshow, etc.

an alert can be sent if the loved one does not go to bed or doesn’t get out of
a chair

sent to you if it is out of that expected range
