Product Features

Care Technology Systems' solution offers multiple capabilities, and does everything on a modular basis, all on the same hardware and software platform.  Features can easily be added or subtracted as needed.

Fall Detection

One out of every 3 seniors will fall this year.  Falls not only endanger the health of the senior, but are come at a tremendous cost, averaging $17,500 per hospitalization.  The most consistent predictor of a fall is a previous fall. Fortunately, we can tell you when falls occur even when seniors won’t tell you and other systems can’t. With Care Technology’s Fall Detection by Logic and Auto-Active motion-sensing PERS device, all falls are detected, whether a senior reports them or not.

FALL DETECTION BY LOGIC

Mom fell. But who knows that it happened? It’s the middle of the night and like most seniors, she doesn’t wear her PERS device 24 hours a day. She’s on the bathroom floor and could be there for hours, and every minute is critical.  Situations like this are all too common and that’s where Fall Detection by Logic comes in. Our patent-pending system captures those middle-of-the-night times when a senior gets out of bed. If they are out of bed for too long, our system looks for activity like motion in the various rooms of her residence. If we can’t confirm that all is well, our 24 hour call center takes over and determines the appropriate course of action for the situation.

STANDARD PERS

PERS stands for Personal Emergency Response System, and is best known by the catch phrase, "I've fallen and I can't get up." Our standard QuietResponse system provides a panic button that can easily be used to call for help.  Our 24/7 monitoring center will that a prompt response is given to any emergency situation.

ACTIVE PERS

PERS is a great idea.  But the unfortunate reality is that most of the time it is ineffective.  A recent study showed that among seniors actually wearing their device who fell, 83% did NOT press the button.  On top of this, a large number of users never put their PERS device on in the first place.  We have found the cure for these problems with our Active PERS pendant.  We call it "active" because it is actively monitoring the wearer's movements at all times.  If a fall occurs, our central station is notified immediately, whether the button is pushed or not.  Because we monitor movement, we also know when the device is being worn, so Mom can be reminded if she forgot to wear it today.


Activity Monitoring

Using motion, pressure, door contact, and flush sensors, our system can indicate where the senior is. They live their life as normal and our system quietly monitors activities wirelessly in the background. Our system identifies nighttime falls without the member wearing a device. It detects falls that previously would go unreported. Quiet monitoring, quick response. No screens to touch, no new technology to learn.  The system is infinitely customizable and adabtable so that activities such as toilet use, food access, trips outside, etc. can all be monitored according to the situation.

EXAMPLE: 9AM

Mom is still in bed. Is mom sleeping in or is it something more than that? Our system has learned that she is normally up by 7:30 each day, and just to be on the safe side, someone might ought to check on her. A family member or caregiver receives an alert via text, e-mail or phone and is prompted to check in with her and be sure everything is in order.

EXAMPLE: 2AM

An exterior door opens. There are very few good reasons for that to happen: it could be an incident of wandering associated with dementia, or even worse. Whatever the case, we issue an escalated alert that goes directly to our 24-hour call center. They place a call to the residence to determine the nature of the situation, and if an emergency response is needed.



Biometric Monitoring

Any of our biometric components can be added to the system on an episodic basis, or permanently for chronic conditions.  All are wireless and use Bluetooth connectivity for the ultimate in ease of use.
