Our aim is to relieve the pressure from nursing homes’ limited capacity by pursuing the development of an affordable, round-the-clock monitoring solution that can be used in assisted living facilities. This intelligent solution empowers older people to live (semi-) autonomously for a longer period of time by alerting their caregivers when assistance is required.
