Overview

Prema Devi is over 70 and has been living with her daughter in a spacious three-bedroom, two-storey house for several years. She loves gardening and praying in her spare time. Recently, she experienced a fall, making her life hard. She is now left with limited mobility, restricting her movement to the ground floor. She is also experiencing memory difficulties and often forgets things. Earlier, her daughter, Maya, had brought her a pendant alarm. However, due to memory issues, Prema Devi forgot to wear the pendant or push the button when she required assistance. This was the case on the day when she fell and had to wait for her daughter to arrive and provide support.

Maya is worried about her declining health and finds it challenging to provide her with the support she needs. She wants a solution that efficiently monitors her mother’s daily activities and provides her with timely reports of her well-being while she is away at work.

Solution

To avoid her dependency on wearable solutions, Maya decided to install our assisted living solution Beanbag Care, in her house. Beanbag Care is a discreet system that provides insights into potential health risks and enables her to keep a check on her mother non-intrusively with discreet sensors. The Beanbag Care system includes the following key components, reassuring Maya of mother's safety:

Fall detection

Non-wearable sensors detect Prema Devi’s movements, sending alerts to her daughter if it detects a falls, ensuring prompt response. Thankfully, no such incidents have occurred since the system was implemented.

Following the usage of the system for some time, Prema Devi underwent hip surgery, enhancing her mobility and enabling her to access the first floor of her home again. The Beanbag Care system’s flexibility allowed for adding more sensors upstairs, ensuring complete home monitoring.

Sleep monitoring

After installing Beanbag Care, Maya could access information about Prema Devi’s sleep patterns and nighttime routine. She noticed that her mother was out of bed for extended periods at night. Upon further investigation, she discovered that she was spending a significant amount of time in the bathroom. This prompted her to check in with her mother about any potential health issues. Consequently, she was able to contact her doctor and arrange for a comprehensive medical check-up.

Outcome

After using the system for some time, Maya found it to be very useful. She was now stress-free and took comfort in knowing that she would be alerted through the responder app if ever there was an emergency. she could also take necessary action if she noticed any deviations in her mother’s routine.

Even Prema Devi was now more relaxed, as the sensors provided an enhanced sense of safety and reduced her feelings of isolation and anxiety, thus ensuring her peace of mind whenever she was alone. Overall, the Beanbag Care system proved to be very successful, and both Prema Devi and her daughter are quite happy with it.
