Telecare supports carers with remote aids that empower physically frail or elderly people, thus allowing them to stay in their own homes and feel confident about doing so.
Telecare services are a practical solution to providing remote monitoring to people living at home.
The use of personal alarms is likely to become increasingly common over the next few years, and for many an alarm will become an essential device, as indispensable as a mobile phone.
Pendant alarms are not only useful for people who live alone: they can be a real lifeline for carers as well, as the following case study shows.
By making use of telecare, individuals can proactively take steps towards living independently and in better health for much longer. The demand for personal alarms for the elderly is currently around 450,000. Accordingly to Berg Insight, this figure is expecting to increase to around 3.4 million by 2012.
Telecare services can provide help and support at times of great need without people having to leave the home or to travel to an unfamiliar place, which may enhance already difficult symptoms.
Considering how far the industry has progressed over recent years, when thinking about wearable technology it is entirely natural if your first thoughts lead to smartwatches and fitness trackers. Wearable technology, however, goes much further. For some, wearables are one of the only things that separate them from a life of dependency and instead provide a sense freedom and all-important security.
