Recognize changes in behavior patterns of seniors with a home care solution

To ensure optimal care of seniors living independently at home, it is crucial to monitor activity patterns. Spotting changes in behavior can give early warnings of various illnesses enabling them to be treated and prevent emergencies.

With varying shift schedules and many care workers in temporary employment, different people often share the care of a senior. Without adequate documentation, frequently changing caregivers are not able to recognize changes in the senior’s behavior patterns and spot early indications of illnesses.

A digital home care solution monitors and documents the seniors’ activity and can alert professional caregivers or relatives to any behavior changes.

Monitor sleeping behavior or bathroom activity with intelligent sensors

One night of sleeping badly can happen to anyone and does not have to mean anything is wrong. However, when seniors regularly wake up more often at night, this can be an indication of more serious issues such as depression or a beginning Alzheimer’s disease.

With motion and/or vibration sensors, it is possible to monitor a senior’s sleep pattern and spot variations from the pattern without having to rely on the senior to remember and report long-term changes.

Similarly, a change in bathroom visits can indicate issues such as dehydration, diabetes, or infections. By installing activity sensors and recognizing changes when they occur, any illnesses can be treated early on before they cause serious complications.
