How it Works

blurb_contact1

QuietCare functions as a 24 hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week early detection and early warning system that lets carers and family members know that a loved one is safe. It recognises emerging problems before they become emergencies.

The system utilises small, unobtrusive, strategically-placed wireless sensors to monitor the person in their own home. It is virtually invisible. No video camera or audio intrudes on the person's life.

	Small, wireless motion sensors are strategically placed in key areas, including the person's bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and meal prep and/or medication areas.
	Each sensor transmits information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week about the person's daily living activities to a book-sized base station.
	The base station gathers this information and regularly transmits it to QuietCare's computers, using existing telephone lines.
	Changes in the person's activities are analysed so carers can be alerted to problems by call centre professionals, or via e-mail, phone, text message or pager, or by checking a password-protected web site.

What makes QuietCare unique is that it "learns" each individual's normal behavioural patterns and notes any significant changes from them. The system then transmits this information to carers through a completely individualised password protected web service, or if the user prefers via pager, text, or a telephone call.

And because it doesn't require the person to wear anything or push anything, it can summon help even when they can't.

Here is an example of the information a carer sees when they log on to their loved one's password protected personalised web service.

QuietCare monitors the status of clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
	Green lights mean everything is normal.
	Yellow lights mean keep an eye on this.
	Red lights mean check in with the person now!
