Innovative Digital Solutions for Aging in Place

Essence SmartCare’s partnership with Skyresponse equips Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) across Europe with the next-generation Care@Home platform. This collaboration introduces seniors to digital features such as fall detection, personalized monitoring, and voice activation, improving their ability to age comfortably at home.

The Care@Home platform offers a comprehensive suite of services, including activities of daily living (ADL) monitoring, radar-based fall detection, and compact telecare devices designed as wearable jewelry. It also includes an emergency panic button and advanced voice activation technology with a voice extender, allowing seniors to make two-way calls from any room. Using a rules-based system, Care@Home notifies caregivers of deviations in daily routines, ensuring personalized, responsive care for seniors.

The platform supports full API integration, making it adaptable to future technological advancements and facilitating seamless interoperability across industries.
