As connected healthcare continues its rapid growth, a lot of new players with new and more refined solutions are entering the market. Sensorem is one of those players, bringing a vision to enable seniors in society to feel free in their everyday lives and to enable that through the use of technology. Sensorem has both a B2B and a B2C offering, and both are based on a service that they have built from the ground up – and that service is a very user-friendly device that looks similar to a smart watch.
“You don’t need any technical knowledge to use our devices,” explains Bobo Delemark, CEO, Sensorem. “Our service is built from scratch and adapted for this segment. If a person has fallen or left a pre-defined area, alerts are set up and notifications ensure a swift response and enhanced user safety – it’s simple and easy to use. And we’ve made sure to make it attractive because too many products of this kind on the market really aren’t great looking and even our older citizens want to be fashionable and not look like they’re sick or in need of care.”
Device functionality & use cases
One functionality in the watch has been built to address user needs, and is both reactive and proactive. A standard function is that you can press the alarm button and get help from relatives or caretakers if you need assistance. Once the alarm button is pressed, it automatically calls up pre-defined numbers/persons in an order that’s been previously decided. Information is provided to the person who gets the call as far as what has happened, and they also get a GPS location, and information on if there are any other needs.
Beyond that, there are other functionalities that are more preventative, such as inactivity warnings, meaning if the patient is inactive for a certain amount of time or if their activity is out of the norm, in combination with other markers, such as pulse, an alert will be sent that something could be wrong.
