This technology is typically installed in the homes of the elderly, but it can also be used to monitor individuals with special needs. Telecare providers use sensors, alarms and telecommunication services to monitor and connect to their users. These technologies keep users safe by detecting gas, ...
• Telecare: from simple personal alarms (AKA pendant/panic/medical/social alarms, PERS, and so on) through to smart homes that focus on alerts for risk including, for example: falls; smoke; changes in daily activity patterns and 'wandering'. Telecare may also be used to confirm that so...
Once the PBM string is pulled, there will be scrutiny of provider ownership. UHG/Optum owns or is affiliated with 10% of US practices. DOJ is already after UHG for the Change Healthcare acquisition on security grounds–and the more aggressive posture around anti-trust will not change in this...
Both set of rules are running over the ontologies with a semantic reasoner (Pellet), and the main advantage of the system is that it is open to future development: the functions are out of the kernel code, and the program flow or the alarms system can be modified changing the rules; tha...
Advanced Alarm Handling: Eliminating bottlenecks with dispersed alarm handling, allowing for immediate response and efficient management of all types of alarms. Customisable and Scalable: Build a tailored setup that meets the needs for each unique scheme, with the flexibility to scale as your organisati...
This allowed us to select the appropriate trigger threshold and wearing positions for the sensor. Prototypes were evaluated with 20 people to observe false alarms. The final design allowed reliable detection in 180 different falling scenarios.
The variety of sensors and detectors are similar to that of standalone telecare and includes for example, bed and chair leaving alarms, fall detectors, epilepsy or enuresis monitors, flood, gas and smoke detectors and temperature extremes. Activity monitoring is also possible via PIR and door ...

(22 persons) of using individualized pas- sage alarms, motion sensors, fall detectors, and Internet communication were generally positive.26 Another study on using devices with wearable reminders and alarms in 38 cognitively impaired patients and caregivers found no change in quality-of-life measures...
for the technology and/or the service that is supported by it. With advances in Internet and mobile technologies, there has also been growing interest in using the functionality of pendant alarms (designed for emergency use) in a more routine way to alleviate loneliness by supporting social ...
