Remote Activity Monitoring

Activity monitoring sensors or action buttons report wirelessly to the system located in the residence. Through the Care Portal, caregivers can log in to assess activity levels, pinpoint specific problems, and set alert rules.

Sensor Types

Motion Sensor

There are 4 different categories of sensors/devices:

• Motion Sensors

- Used to detect motion, no motion, excessive motion, and wandering motion, and levels of activity

• Door Sensors

- Used to detect open and closed, and which can also be used on drawers, cabinets, windows, etc.

• Bed & Chair Sensors

- Used with a pressure mat to determine when someone is or isn't in the bed or chair

• Action Buttons

- Wearable pendants, which send a notification to selected caregivers when the button is pressed

• On-Screen Action Button

- Button on the touchscreen which sends a notification to selected caregivers when the button is pressed

Environmental Sensors

• Temperature Sensors

- Used to detect indoor or outdoor temperatures that are high or low enough to trigger a notification

How Do the Sensors Work?

You decide how many sensors to use, and where they will be located. The sensors report constantly to the system, which updates activity graphs every 15 minutes. Sensors are all battery-operated and wireless. An antenna attached to the system receives the signals. During the initial setup of the system, the installer will pair the resident's exact sensors to the system, and help set the ideal placement for the sensors in the home.

Caregivers log in to the online care portal and see an overview of activity for the day. If caregivers have particular concerns (examples might be: when a pill cabinet is opened, or when the resident is in the kitchen, or if the door opens at night) they can set rules that will notify them when particular conditions are met. Notifications can be by telephone, email and text.
