You can send personal photos, videos, messages, emails, and set up appointment reminders for your loved one, or setup a Facebook feed with specified photo albums. One-button video chat (utilizing Skype) lets you easily connect the generations. Your loved one receives these communications on the touchscreen system.

Health Monitoring

Telehealth devices such as weight scale, pulse oximeter, glucometer and blood pressure monitor wirelessly record readings and store them on the system located in the residence. Through the Care Menu, family and health care providers can log in, view data, and set up rules.

Caregivers can designate rules as to when and how to be notified about unusual activity in the residence. Rules can be set for activity sensors, health devices, medication compliance, and weather. Alerts can be in many forms, including phone calls, text messages, emails, and on-screen messages.
