Facility sales are the potential home runs for our business. The core need for the resident may be the same, but the buying decision for a facility will be based on efficiency and ROI. The product actually installed in each facility’s residence will typically have a smaller number of sensors, etc., as there will be a smaller number of rooms and square feet to cover. It may be possible to cover multiple units per controller, yielding further cost savings.

The web interface utilized by the facility’s staff is critical. It must be easy enough for a minimum wage worker to understand, but still do a good job aggregating data on multiple apartment units at once. Our touchscreen will log staff functions, as it does for the Home Health application.

Many facilities will also require a pager or cell/text interface so that roaming nurses can still receive alerts. We may or may not implement this feature, depending on the feedback that we get from our potential customers and partners.

We can also monitor the ambient conditions of the room, adjusting the HVAC and turning off the lights automatically when the room is unoccupied. If a facility is willing to look at a slightly longer term ROI, these additions are extremely sellable.

The bottom line is that every facility will want a slightly different variation of the product. That having been said, the core costs of the CPU and devices/room can be standardized, as can the aggregated web interface. Additional features can then be added according to the facility’s needs and we will act as a custom integrator, building specified interfaces and capabilities on a charged-for basis.

YOU CAN MONITOR:
