Alarm.com and SafetyCare have formed a strategic partnership to offer a home-based monitoring and emergency response solution that enables seniors and disabled individuals to live independently at home. The offering will allow individuals to stay “virtually connected” to loved ones, professional care providers and emergency medical response staff who can provide assistance if needed.

The offering pairs Alarm.com’s patented wireless and Web-based monitoringtechnology with SafetyCare’s 24/7 emergency and medical response services.Monitoring features will include remote log-in via a secure Web or PDA interface to check real-time activity reported by sensors installed throughout the monitored home; E-mail and phone alert; optional video monitoring; and wireless integration without a broadband connection or telephone system.

SafetyCare General Manager Mike Bodnar says the strategic alliance demonstrates the power of “connected care giving” by using technology to monitor and care for individuals from a remote location.

“Our new partnership brings together the robust emergency response services of SafetyCare with the intuitive user interfaces and access to real-time information and alerts that distinguish Alarm.com’s technology,” says Steve Trundle, president and CEO, Alarm.com. “As a result, seniors and disabled individuals have access to an EMT-staffed monitoring solution that enables residents who want to stay in their homes longer to do so independently.”
