Cognitive Systems Corp. announced today the launch of Caregiver Aware, a revolutionary advancement in preventative health. Working directly with service providers during development to understand their challenges, Caregiver Aware was designed with flexible go-to-market options that leverage providers’ existing infrastructure and hardware. Building on the success of its Home Aware security product that commercially launched in 2019, Caregiver Aware’s predictive analytics has the potential to significantly disrupt the broadband services market and our definition of “smart home.”
Caregiver Aware is powered by WiFi Motion™, which is currently active in over 70 countries and leverages connected IoT devices to transform the entire home into a motion-sensing network without additional hardware. It is an end-to-end solution featuring Cognitive Systems’ patented algorithms, clean iOS and Android app interfaces. Backed by robust integration support from Cognitive’s QA and commercialization experts, the optimized data management system does not impact broadband performance. This launch represents a key moment for service providers looking to enter the rapidly growing field of remote eldercare by providing their customers with a tool for aging in place.
Caregiver Aware is currently being trialed with service provider partners. It allows caregivers to complete remote wellness checks and view live motion in a loved one’s home without intruding on their privacy or independence in the way cameras or wearable devices do. This launch represents the tip of the iceberg for remote eldercare monitoring, with new features already in development aimed at capturing behavioural patterns based on natural motion AI, improving localization and enabling customized notifications.
With aging populations around the world, the remote eldercare industry is poised to take off. However, with current world events and chip shortages, integration timelines can be lengthy. Service providers looking to enter the market need to start conversations now about where care solutions fit into their product roadmaps.
