As we age, maintaining a sense of independence becomes a crucial aspect of wellbeing, allowing us to preserve our dignity, make choices and engage with life on our own terms. For seniors, independent living holds immense value, significantly contributing to their mental and emotional health.
However, the potential risks associated with ageing, including the threat of falls, can sometimes pose a threat to this cherished independence. Read on to discover how our Tec2Care services in the UK empowers seniors to live independently while ensuring their well-being.
Nurturing independence without infringing on privacy
Our Tec2Care device is a comprehensive solution tailored to the unique needs of seniors seeking to live independently. Free from cameras, microphones and motion sensors, the sensor is a small device that’s placed in the kitchen to monitor the environmental conditions of a home. It does this by analysing data points such as the humidity, temperature and atmospheric changes inside the home. This enables it to build up a picture of your loved one’s typical routine and behavioural patterns. For example, the data can reveal how often and when they boil the kettle, wash up or cook a meal. A change in these activity levels could indicate that something is wrong, prompting action from care providers and family.
How can Tec2Care help support independence?
Our Tec2Care device promotes a sense of self-reliance while maintaining a safety net. Here’s how it encompasses a range of features that align seamlessly with the concept of independent living:
1. Emergency Response – In the event of a fall or emergency, activity levels are bound to change. When someone’s activity doesn’t match their usual pattern, the device will automatically alert family members or care providers to check in. This sense of security encourages them to continue their daily routines without fear.
2. Activity Monitoring – The device keeps track of daily activities, offering insights into seniors’ patterns and routines. This unobtrusive monitoring allows caregivers and family members to intervene only when necessary. Plus, family members and friends can enjoy extra piece of mind, knowing that their loved one is home and well in between visits.
3. Detect Illness – If a person isn’t boiling the kettle when they usually do, it could indicate that they are ill in bed. Likewise, not using the oven or doing the washing up as per their regular routine, could indicate that something’s up. The ability to detect a decrease in activity levels enables fast interventions which can prevent health from deteriorating and avoid hospital admissions.
Supporting independent living
With our Tec2Care device, it’s possible to experience a holistic approach to independent living. Embodying the core principles of autonomy, safety, and connection, this non-invasive device aligns perfectly with the philosophy that seniors should be empowered to live life on their terms. By combining cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of seniors’ needs, the device not only provides a safety net during emergencies, it enables seniors to maintain their independence, dignity, and sense of purpose. We love that it makes it possible to transform ageing into a phase marked by empowerment, fulfilment, and joyful living.
