Elderly Woman Stranded in Bath Tub for 4 Days

Stories like this are all too common:


Our position is that caregivers, private (family/friends) and public (your tax dollar at work) are generally plentiful, but they clearly cannot be everywhere at once. Thus with solutions like ours, we can connect remote caregivers to their charges-- in the case above, one of more motion detectors would have detected an ABSENCE of activity, and one or more caregivers would be emailed and/or text messaged in real-time, to come to the rescue or alert the EMTs.

The signal would have travelled instantaneously via Cingular's data channel from the residence to our data center, and then to the caregiver(s) computer/PDA/cell phones-- no need for a phone line.
