Home monitoring & engagement technology to improve well-being & independence

Kraydel凭借其基于物联网的系统帮助保持和提高老年人的生活质量，该系统包括集线器(可夹在电视顶部)、简单的遥控器和可通过电视访问的社交参与平台。Kraydel集线器具有内置的环境监控功能(集线器包含温度、光、声音和运动传感器)，以监控日常生活活动，以支持老年人的独立和福祉。该项目将为1000台Kraydel设备的生产及其在用户家中的安装提供资金。然后，我们将致力于评估Kraydel的福祉工具如何帮助减少用户的护理人员(如朋友、家人和专业护理人员)的担忧。我们还使用摄像机解决孤独和社会孤立问题，以支持独立生活的老年人与他们的关怀/支持生态系统之间更好的沟通和联系。我们的系统可以让独居老人自信地拨打和接听视频电话、发送短信、参加小组视频会议和观看广播活动。在未来，我们计划咨询并包括一些第三方服务，如虚拟医生、护士和家居护理访问系统。我们相信，通过我们以用户为中心的方法，我们可以大规模地应对老年人高质量生活的挑战。

Kraydel helps maintain and improve quality of life for the elderly with its IoT-based system that consists of a hub (that clips to the top of the TV), a simple remote control, and social engagement platform accessible through the TV. The Kraydel hub has built-in environmental monitoring capabilities (the hub houses sensors for temperature, light, sound, and motion) to monitor the activities of daily living to support elder independence and wellbeing. This project will fund the production of 1000 Kraydel units and their installation in user’s homes. We will then work to evaluate how Kraydel’s wellbeing tools help to reduce the concerns of the User's carers (e.g. friends, family and professional carers). We also address loneliness and social isolation using a camera to support better communication and connectedness between the independently living elderly person, and their ecosystem of care / support. Our system allows elderly people living alone to confidently make and receive video calls, send text messages, participate in group video meetings, and view broadcast events. In the future, we plan to consult with and include a number of third party services such as virtual doctor, nurse and domiciliary care visits to the system. We believe we can address the challenge of high quality of life for older people, at scale, with our user-centric approach.
