Problem
Many elderly and vulnerable individuals require continuous monitoring for health, environmental, and behavioral changes, but traditional methods are often obtrusive and can be slow to alert healthcare providers. This can lead to delayed interventions, increased hospital stays, and higher reactive care costs.
Solution
2iC-Care offers "Andi," a digital Technology Enabled Care (TEC) solution that uses an IoT hub to connect a wide array of existing and new devices for discreet, continuous monitoring. Andi aggregates data from connected peripherals and uses customizable monitoring rules to identify potential issues early, enabling proactive and preventative care. The system is designed for interoperability, allowing integration with existing care records and management systems, and can direct alerts to family, friends, or professional carers. Andi features multiple connection routes (WiFi, Ethernet, and 4G Roaming SIM) to ensure reliable communication even in areas with poor bandwidth.
Target Audience
