Amidst Europe's ongoing digital transformation, the partnership will boost access to activity monitoring platform Care@Home to enhance continuous care for seniors
LONDON, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Essence SmartCare, part of Essence Group, a global leader in IoT remote care solutions, today announced the integration of Care@Home, an end-to-end senior care solution, with leading Swedish alarm management platform Skyresponse. Under this partnership, over two million seniors across the UK, Switzerland, Nordic countries, and the DACH region will have expanded access to Care@Home, providing a fully connected care experience from initial assessment to ongoing monitoring and support.
This partnership marks a significant step in helping seniors in countries across Europe receive access to advanced digital solutions that enable them to age in place comfortably. By equipping Skyresponse's Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) with the next-generation Care@Home platform, this collaboration will provide seniors access to digital features such as fall detection, personalised monitoring, and voice activation.
"We at Essence understand the immense promise of digitalisation in the health sector and are proud to facilitate the transition and ensure that seniors can reap its many benefits," said Yossi Graff, VP Revenue of Essence. "Partnering with Skyresponse, a company who, like Essence SmartCare, is at the forefront of advanced connectivity, we aim to set a new standard in telecare solutions, ensuring uncompromised care for seniors ageing from the comfort of their homes."
The integration of purely digital connections is projected to improve product reliability, ensuring timely alerts for seniors and peace of mind for caregivers across Europe. By leveraging almost 100% secured-cloud technologies, the partnership will drastically improve the current 11.5% first time call failure rate by 80%. The partnership also emphasises full API support, enabling seamless integration across industries and preparing for future technological advancements.
"Joining forces with Essence SmartCare is an exciting step towards bolstering senior care through technology ? one that aligns closely with our mission at Skyresponse," said Mats Berthem, CEO, Skyresponse. "Through our partnership, seniors will benefit from solutions that cater to their individual preferences, ensuring safety, independence, and quality of life for seniors across Europe who wish to age-in-place."
Essence SmartCare's Care@Home ageing-in-place platform comprises an integrated suite of services, including a robust, field-proven activities of daily living (ADLs) monitoring platform, wireless non-intrusive radar-based fall detection technologies, compact waterproof telecare devices designed as jewelry, an emergency panic button, and advanced voice activation with voice extender. Essence's voice extender is a critical component of the solution, as it allows seniors to make two-way calls from any room in the home, providing a vital communication link even when the panic button is out of reach. Using a rules-based approach, Care@Home notifies caregivers of deviations in daily routine to provide seniors with personalised care.
