Remote home care for elderly people with limited mobility, perception or disabilities who remain at home

Usługa

Older people are often unwilling or unable to leave the house for various reasons, feeling either stranded or left to fend for themselves. They clearly signal that they feel the need to increase their security and the need to know that they can turn to someone for help. The social innovation is a response to ongoing changes in attitudes towards elderly care.

The innovation involves the use of a transparent app installed on tablets made available to older people staying at their home. The main feature and function of the app is for older people to notify their wellbeing by tapping on a graphic (e.g. a graphic resembling a smile). Test persons will subjectively rate their health and well-being. The information will go to a care centre (external server), where it will be reviewed by the senior's caregiver.
