The CareWatch wearable: personal AND connected.

The stylish, wrist-worn, CareWatch wearable monitors your health and alerts professional carers and/or family through automatic fall detection or when the Alarm button is pressed.

As an increasing number of vulnerable and/or older people are living on their own these days - there's a definited need for a new generation of assistive solutions.  The CareWatch wearable is an exciting product - stylish,  functional and a great alternative for expensive wearables such as the the Apple watch.  However we do want to ensure that when they fall that they receive help from anyone who cares for, or about,  them: care professionals, relatives, friends, neighbours - may be even a stranger when they're out and about in a remote area. 

The CareWatch is a multi-purpose device; it detects falls,  is a Personal Alarm and supports communications on its large display.  It thus not only replaces it the 'traditional pendant' but the support of  interventions (i.e. messages and responses from the wearer/user) opens up a new level of supporting users.

Drink.WELL: the complete and intelligent drinking solution that prevents dehydration in old age and helps to manage chronic diseases.

Dehydration is a key issue with the older persons; it causes dizziness, weakness, disorientation, unconsciousness, etc. It's therefore one of the risks assoiciated with falls. We have summarized 7 evidence-based health benefits of drinking plenty of water: 

1. Water Helps to Maximize Physical Performance 
2. Hydration Has a Major Effect on Energy Levels and Brain Function 
3. Drinking Water may Help to Prevent and Treat Headaches 
4. Drinking More Water may Help to Relieve Constipation
5. Drinking Water may Help to Treat Kidney Stones 
6. Water Helps to Prevent Hangovers 

 Drinking plenty of water can also help you to lose weight. Drink.WELL offers many unique features that helps you to drink more !

(p.s. note that roughly 20% of the water we need actualy enters our body through food intake; in particular fruits and vegetables)

A wide range of solutions assisting people and organizations to deliver (preventive) care

Improving the quality of Life for our citizens, i.e. the end-users, and their formal and informal carers

• *

ALL EncourAGE solutions are connected to the cloud-IT system which facilitates intervention, decision making and delivery from one centralized source, across all devices - and, within full observance of privacy restrictions, with carers involved. Considering that we’re dealing with a very diverse target end-user audience, there are actually many target groups; which is why we have taken into account the need to support multiple devices: 

• mobile apps for seniors who own / prefer a smartphone,
• a voice version - as voice is the new UI - and it dramatically increases the adoption of new assistive devices, 
• a wearable, the wrist worn CareWatch, the DrinkSmart ‘bidon’ - which reminds people to drink - taking into account their personal health and environment, the ‘traditional’ PC type support … as many people prefer bigger screens and typing using a keyboard
