Last week in USA Today this article spoke to new uses of motion detectors.
We too believe that the "unblinking eye" that is a motion detector as part of our SimplyHome system is a highly effective way to help the disabled and seniors live more independently, supported by caregivers.
We have an important feature called "Up & About." It works like this:
Using the web interface, set a simple rule saying, as an example, "if the motion detector in the kitchen at mom's home does not show activity each morning by 9 am, send me a cell phone text message, and my sister an email."
Thus the name-- see if the resident is indeed "up & about" in the morning. Panic pendants are good-- our system has one. But if a resident can't find it, get to it, or push it-- what use is it?
