Problem
Elderly individuals living alone or those requiring community care often face challenges in maintaining optimal health and well-being due to isolation, inconsistent adherence to medication schedules, and a lack of continuous monitoring for potential health declines. Traditional monitoring methods can be intrusive and may not capture subtle changes in daily living patterns that indicate emerging health issues.
Solution
TouchCare provides a remote health monitoring system designed to improve the quality of life for seniors and individuals needing care, while offering peace of mind to their caregivers. The system utilizes a discreet watch and attachable tags placed around the user's home to passively monitor daily activities and detect deviations from established routines. Collected data is analyzed to identify potential health concerns, such as missed medication doses or decreased physical activity, and provide timely alerts. The TouchCare watch also features automatic fall detection and an emergency alert button for immediate assistance when needed.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes elderly individuals living independently, those receiving care in community settings, and their caregivers who seek a non-intrusive remote monitoring solution to ensure safety and well-being.
