The innovation promotes independence of an ageing population, by supporting people to lead active lives, and to help protect people by early identification of wellbeing concerns. It's people centric; it connects an elderly person with their family, friends, and carers in a secure, private group (termed 'trusted people') that has no public invites. It encourages people to share and care for other people. It's a new mobile app for elderly people that runs on their phones and tablets and features built-in wellbeing sensors. It runs 24/7 in the background even when devices are asleep. It lets an elderly person's 'trusted people' see if they feel lonely or unhappy, and if they are up and about and moving inside their home. 'Trusted people' can receive alerts for wellbeing concerns, such as if an elderly person doesn't get up in the morning at their regular time, or they move unexpectedly in the middle of the night, or they press a SOS button. The app sensors when an elderly person leaves their home. 'Trusted people' can see how long a person has stayed at home (it could be many days), how frequently they go out, the places they go to, and how long it takes them to travel to these places. Knowing how active a person is allows their 'trusted people' to encourage greater activity (which maintains health and reduces the risk of chronic illness). There are alerts for wellbeing concerns, such as if a person doesn't return home by a certain time. The app has screens designed for ageing people to promote social interaction and a healthy active lifestyle, such as: [PEOPLE]: large text/pictures to list a person's family, friends and carers. One click to make a phone call. The list of people can be created and maintained remotely by (say) a son or daughter. [INFORMATION]: large text/pictures to list charities, neighbourhood community groups and advocacy organisations. One press to make a phone call or open a website to get access to valuable resources. The content can be maintained remotely by other people. For example, a health carer can add a picture and web link that explains to an elderly client, and their family, information about their medication and care plan. It's great for securely sharing. [ROUTINE]: used by an elderly person to click to show they have (say) taken their medication in the morning. It means their 'trusted people' can see that a person is remembering to keep to their routine. [FEELINGS]: large text/icons for an elderly person to click to share their emotion. [ALERTS]; real-time alerts to 'trusted people', e.g. if an elderly person is not feeling well, if they missed a routine, if they are not home by a certain time, appointment reminders,… [CALENDAR]: lets 'trusted people' share key dates, such as hospital appointments and anniversaries, etc. [GO OUT]: if a person clicks to say where they are going it lets other people receive alerts, such as not arrived. For family, friends and carers a [WELLBEING] screen puts all this wellbeing and sensory information together.

这项创新通过支持人们过上积极的生活，促进老龄化人口的独立，并通过及早确定福祉问题来帮助保护人们。它以人为中心;它将老年人与他们的家人，朋友和照顾者连接在一个安全的私人组（称为“信任的人”）中，没有公开邀请。它鼓励人们分享和关心他人。这是一款针对老年人的新移动的应用程序，可以在他们的手机和平板电脑上运行，并内置健康传感器。它在后台运行24/7，即使设备处于睡眠状态。它可以让老年人的“信任的人”看到他们是否感到孤独或不快乐，以及他们是否在家中走动。“受信任的人”可以收到有关健康问题的警报，例如老年人早上没有按时起床，或者他们在半夜突然移动，或者他们按下SOS按钮。当老人离开家时，应用程序会感应到。“可信的人”可以看到一个人呆在家里多久了（可能是很多天），他们出去的频率，他们去的地方，以及他们花了多长时间去这些地方。了解一个人的活跃程度可以让他们的“信任的人”鼓励更多的活动（这可以保持健康并降低患慢性病的风险）。有健康问题的警报，例如如果一个人没有在某个时间回家。该应用程序有专为老年人设计的屏幕，以促进社交互动和健康积极的生活方式，例如：[人]：大文本/图片，列出一个人的家人，朋友和照顾者。一键拨打电话。可以由（比如说）儿子或女儿远程创建和维护人员列表。[信息]：大文本/图片列出慈善机构，邻里社区团体和倡导组织。只需按一下即可拨打电话或打开网站即可访问宝贵的资源。内容可以由其他人远程维护。例如，医疗保健人员可以添加图片和网络链接，向老年客户及其家人解释有关其药物和护理计划的信息。它非常适合安全共享。[常规]：老年人用来点击显示他们（比如说）在早上服用了药物。这意味着他们的“信任的人”可以看到一个人记得保持他们的日常生活。[FEELINGS]：供老年人点击分享情感的大文本/图标。[ALERTS];实时提醒“可信任的人”，例如，如果老年人感觉不舒服，如果他们错过了一个常规，如果他们没有在某个时间回家，约会提醒，.[CALENDAR]：让“可信任的人”共享关键日期，如医院预约和周年纪念日等。[GO OUT]：如果一个人点击说他们要去哪里，它让其他人收到警报，如未到达。对于家人，朋友和照顾者，[WELLBEING]屏幕将所有这些健康和感官信息放在一起。
