Sensormind launches online assisted living system

Life

5 October 2011

A Dublin-based technology company Sensormind officially launched its online assisted living system today at the Irish Technology Leadership Group conference Silicon Valley Comes to Ireland.

The system is designed to help people look after elderly relatives who are living alone. Sensormind was one of a select group of companies invited to showcase their new product at the high-profile event.

Sensormind Independent Living is an ‘assistive living’ system that helps look after elderly and vulnerable people living alone.

Sensormind uses intelligent software and wireless sensors to monitor behaviour and movement patterns. If there is a notable change in the normal pattern – for example, the elderly person leaves their bedroom at 4am and does not return – Sensormind sends a text message to raise the alert. Users can check in via an Internet-based program 24 hours a day and a panic button function is included.

Siobhan King-Hughes, CEO, Sensormind, said: "We have already successfully deployed the system with 20 volunteers who participated in a free three month trial during the summer. The feedback about the product is fantastic – people love the fact they can look after their elderly parents or relatives even when they are physically remote from them".
