VEMS is a new, affordable monitoring system that sits unobtrusively in the house, learns the habits of the resident(s) and alerts nominated people if it ‘thinks’ that there is something wrong.
What the system is really doing is simply collecting and analysing data such as temperature, humidity and movement over a specified time period to compare it with the established ‘norm’.
The data is collected by one or two sensors placed around the home that are connected via the internet and a smartphone app. In cases where let’s say, something unusual occurs such as a change in room temperature indicating that the heating has failed or has not been turned on properly – or perhaps that the movement monitor senses less than usual activity, the system will notify people who can then make decisions or attempt to contact the resident themselves.
The system is a practical solution to an increasingly real-world issue as more disabled and vulnerable people choose to live independently. Rather than take that independence from them, products like VEMS discreetly support them.
So far, customers, including carers, have provided good feedback. It’s worth noting that the system can handle several sets of data from different locations at once, making it ideal for families with more than one elderly or disabled relative to look after, or for use by professional care companies.
