Remote Monitoring for Senior Care

Driven by the Regional Social Policy Center and endorsed by the Regional Marshal, our client is dedicated to supporting isolated and vulnerable seniors. This comprehensive tool caters to the diverse needs of seniors.

Elevate the safety and comfort of solitary seniors, optimize health crisis responses, and ensure uniform user profiles and security across multiple facilities.

The integration of connected wearables, health monitoring data, and telecare operations illustrates the core principles of IoT monitoring solutions: collecting information from distributed devices, making it accessible to operational teams, and supporting timely responses to critical events.

Functionality of "Life Wearables" and Mobile App:

• Health Monitoring: Monitors blood pressure, pulse, detects fainting, and falls.
• Location Function: For individuals with memory loss, accessible through the mobile app.
• Emergency Call Initiation: Seniors can initiate emergency calls to the telecenter.

Although developed for senior care rather than industrial operations, the system relies on connected devices, continuous monitoring, and event-driven responses. Similar principles are used in industrial IoT applications, where sensor data helps teams monitor equipment and respond to changing operating conditions.

Promising initial results indicate potential project expansion to other demographics and similar initiatives. By the end of 2023, approximately 3800 individuals benefited from the telecare service. The telecenter received around 20900 calls, including 13400 SOS alarms and 7500 fall alarms. A total of about 850 interventions were organized, with around 390 cases requiring emergency services. This project stands as a testament to real-life life-saving efforts.

The project significantly improved seniors' quality of life, enhancing their safety and reducing mortality rates. The integrated software facilitated swift user identification, access to health data, and efficient emergency response coordination.

Can wearables detect falls and fainting in seniors living alone and alert a telecare center?

Yes. Life Wearables in this system monitor blood pressure and pulse and detect fainting and falls, and seniors can also start an emergency call to the telecenter. In this project, InTechHouse delivered the software behind the service; by the end of 2023 the telecenter had received around 20,900 calls, including 13,400 SOS alarms and 7,500 fall alarms.

How can seniors with memory loss be located in a remote monitoring program?

Through a location function in the mobile app. For individuals with memory loss, the senior care system makes location available via the app, alongside health monitoring and emergency calls. In this project, InTechHouse integrated these features with software that supports swift user identification, access to health data and efficient coordination of emergency response by the telecenter.

What technology stack runs a telecare platform that handles emergency calls from senior wearables?

The telecare platform uses Java Spring Boot, Asterisk, Linux, S3 and VMware. In this project, InTechHouse staffed the work with a solution architect, project manager, DevOps specialists, programmers and testers. The system supported emergency coordination in practice: by the end of 2023, around 390 of the organized interventions required emergency services.
