LAS CRUCES, New Mexico—Electronic Caregiver, a provider of digital health technology and service solutions, and Cognitive Systems Corp., creators of Wi-Fi Sensing technology, announced a partnership to distribute CareAware, a WiFi Motion-based sensing solution, to enhance the aging-in-place experiences for older adults and caregivers.
Cognitive and Electronic Caregiver have partnered to provide eldercare with a solution that utilizes wireless signals to detect motion and presence within a home environment. This discreet approach offers a way to monitor the activities of daily living. This collaboration represents a major leap forward in caregiving technology, using Wi-Fi sensing to provide real-time insights and valuable data for more effective proactive monitoring and personalized care plans that support seniors' desire to age independently.
"Partnering with Cognitive Systems brings an exciting new dimension to caregiving," said Tony Dohrmann, founder and CEO of Electronic Caregiver. "We are enthusiastic about leveraging WiFi Motion technology to empower caregivers and offer a non-intrusive solution to monitor and care for seniors. The CareAware product complements ECG's Addison Care solution to provide unmatched insights and engagement for seniors, family caregivers, and clinical professionals."
According to the National Institute on Aging, nearly 90% of older adults wish to remain in their homes as they age. The WiFi Motion-based service by Electronic Caregiver is a vital tool for those who want to age independently. Implemented through four user-friendly smart plugs, the system enables comprehensive activity tracking, sleep habit monitoring, custom alerts and detailed motion insights. These features support caregivers in making informed decisions and improving the well-being of seniors.
"Partnering with Electronic Caregiver is a game-changer for eldercare," said Taj Manku, founder and CEO of Cognitive Systems. "WiFi Motion will help seniors access aging-in-place technologies and continue living in their homes non-intrusively, providing safety and peace of mind for them and their loved ones. We are looking forward to bringing Wi-Fi sensing into more homes, making caregiving smarter, more intuitive and ultimately more compassionate."
"Adding the CareAware product to my Mom's Addison Care System has been life-changing," said Maria Garcia, a family caregiver. "As she embraces her golden years, this technology monitors her well-being and alerts me to any changes. Mom's got her freedom, and I've got peace of mind, all without changing her daily routine."
