Good afternoon,
I am after information on different products/services etc to support my grandmother to continue to live independently. She is active and in pretty good health, however as a family, we are aware that we need to be keeping an eye on her more!
Yesterday, she had a stroke (which given her good state of health was a shock!) which has got me into thinking how we/technology can assist her without being intrusive or invasive. This event has shocked us as she was unable to alert anyone as she was unable to get to the phone in the hallway and she was not found until my mother and aunty made their daily trip to see her.
The thoughts ive had in my head so far are pager type devices, to notify my mother/father or aunty/uncle, who all live very close to her, via mobile or landline etc. I had also thought about wireless/internet enabled products which may fit the bill?
Any ideas would be great, from the standard services, to the more innovative. I litterally have no idea about this market, but am all of a sudden very interested.
Thank you for reading and for any advice you can give!
