Seeing a Just Checking stand at the DLF Telecare Made Easy launch the other week made me realise that it was a long time since I had seen what the company has been up to. Well, I’m pleased to report that it has been improving its kit and service over the past few years and, as a result, has been quietly been making headway in the UK market.
Focusing on the part of the telecare market where people have to manage people with dementia, they hit several sweet points:
- The wireless sensors are incredibly easy and quick to install.
- The base box does not need a physical connection to a phone line.
- The software builds an easy-to-interpret picture of the activity of the person being monitored.
- It’s as easy to uninstall – which means that it can be put in for just a few weeks to help comfirm developing problems, and then moved on to someone else if necessary.
There is an excellent demonstration of the system on this webpage: Just Checking – How it Works.
