LONDON – Essence SmartCare, part of IoT remote care solutions provider Essence Group, today announced the integration of Care@Home, an end-to-end senior care solution, with Swedish alarm management platform Skyresponse.
Under this partnership, more than two million seniors across the U.K., Switzerland, Nordic countries and the DACH region “will have expanded access to Care@Home, providing a fully connected care experience from initial assessment to ongoing monitoring and support,” the announcement says.
This partnership “marks a significant step in helping seniors in countries across Europe receive access to advanced digital solutions that enable them to age in place comfortably,” according to the announcement.
By equipping Skyresponse’s Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) with the Care@Home platform, this collaboration “will provide seniors access to digital features such as fall detection, personalized monitoring, and voice activation,” the announcement says.
“We at Essence understand the immense promise of digitalization in the health sector and are proud to facilitate the transition and ensure that seniors can reap its many benefits,” says Yossi Graff, vice president of revenue at Essence, in the announcement.
“Partnering with Skyresponse, a company who, like Essence SmartCare, is at the forefront of advanced connectivity, we aim to set a new standard in telecare solutions, ensuring uncompromised care for seniors ageing from the comfort of their homes,” he says.
What Care@Home Integration Means
The integration of purely digital connections is projected to improve product reliability, ensuring timely alerts for seniors and peace of mind for caregivers across Europe. By leveraging almost 100% secured-cloud technologies, the partnership will drastically improve the current 11.5% first-time call failure rate by 80%.
The partnership “also emphasizes full API support, enabling seamless integration across industries and preparing for future technological advancements,” the announcement says.
“Joining forces with Essence SmartCare is an exciting step towards bolstering senior care through technology – one that aligns closely with our mission at Skyresponse,” says Mats Berthem, CEO of Skyresponse.
“Through our partnership, seniors will benefit from solutions that cater to their individual preferences, ensuring safety, independence, and quality of life for seniors across Europe who wish to age in place,” he says.
Essence SmartCare’s Care@Home aging-in-place platform comprises an integrated suite of services, including an activities of daily living (ADLs) monitoring platform, wireless, radar-based fall detection technologies, waterproof telecare devices designed as jewelry, an emergency panic button and advanced voice activation with voice extender.
Essence’s voice extender allows seniors to make two-way calls from any room in the home, providing a communication link even when the panic button is out of reach. Using a rules-based approach, Care@Home notifies caregivers of deviations in daily routine to provide seniors with personalized care.
