You want your loved one to live as independently as possible – as long as they are safe. BEAM helps you ensure safety through the convenience of your smartphone. They have independence; you have peace of mind anywhere, anytime.

BEAM is easy to use and install with no cables to pull or fancy wiring required, no apps to install and no programming. The BEAM system consists of a set of wireless sensors that you can set up in your loved one’s home in about an hour. A remote basestation then collects data from those sensors and sends the status using the home’s broadband router. That data is monitored, and reports are available to you, 24/7.

The service includes unlimited monitoring and instant notifications when the unexpected occurs.

Typical activities that can be monitored:

–Dressing
–Preparing meals
–Hygiene
–Visits to the bathroom
–Night time restlessness
–Sundowners / wandering
–Safety (such as detecting if a hot stove is unattended too long)

With BEAM you are giving your loved one:

–More dignity
–Independence and more freedom
–Safety
–Less intrusion

And giving yourself less fear and anxiety, thanks to:

–Anytime, anywhere monoitoring
–Simple, easy to use technology
–Knowing your loved one is safe

Supporting your loved ones is as easy as connecting to our team.

BEAM is currently being piloted and will be available by December 2012.

How do you make sure you take care of the people who have taken care of you your entire life – without busting their trust? How do you say, “Mom and Dad, let’s take some precautionary measures for your safety now while you’re still in great shape?”

This can be one of the most awkward conversations between a parent and child. However, the reality is that no one wants to find their parent in a “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up” state.

Technology can be your bridge.

Baby Boomers have had technology in their lives and have watched how much technology has changed the quality of life more than any other generation in history. Adopting some of those new technologies is the way to get some monitoring into their home while maintaining a trusting relationship and providing you some piece of mind.

A tablet PC and a smart phone provide the opportunity to connect with the grandkids. They also are a great chance to offer fall monitoring, a glucometer and a wireless scale to help offer an insight into their daily health.

Skype offers the chance to catch up on the grandson’s soccer game, and also can be the bridge for knowing whether or not the stove was left on too long.

Small – non-invasive – technology changes give Mom and Dad the chance to stay in their home longer and safer while also staying more connected to family and friends.
