How the SimplyHome system works

This March 12, 2007 article in the Sun-Sentinel in South Florida has a lead paragraph as follows:

A host of new technology products and services may help reduce medical costs for individuals, employers and health insurance companies by making it easier for people to remain independent in their homes longer, reducing the need for hospital care.

Note that there are some key differences between the system mentioned in the article, and our own SimplyHome system:

1. Our system tethers residents to their friends and family-- those who know them best, and some of whom are likely right nearby.
   
   
2. All the sensors in the world don't matter if data isn't transmitted in real-time. We allow a phone line-- and/or our nationwide two-way radio network. Some folks don't have traditional phone lines these days because they've gone to VoIP.
   
   
3. Our system is highly focused on Exception Data. You set rules looking for activity that occurs that should not ("back door open at midnight") or the absence of activity when there should be some (our "Up & About" feature). When rules that you set with our initial coaching are broken, you and others on the contact list get phone calls (automated voice), emails and/or cell phone text messages, depending on how you set it up.

Finally, it's especially important to select a system that is easy to install-- too many solutions get purchased but not correctly implemented, activated and set-up. Our system can easily be installed by you-- and then we get on the phone and work you through the set-up process, via the web.
