3 ways in which the IoT can improve a home care solution

The close relationship between technology and healthcare is not a secret. As technology advances, new opportunities to improve the quality of care come to fruition. Moreover, with aging populations and declining workforces becoming more apparent, state-of-the-art technologies allow caregivers to do their jobs more efficiently. These growing opportunities mean the demand for IoT solutions in the home care sector is increasing.

Independent living for seniors

The IoT can help seniors to be able to continue living in their own homes safely. Home care solutions can monitor seniors' activities and spot potential emergencies at home such as falls. By notifying family members or caregivers, the home care solution can make sure that seniors get help quickly when they need it.

This way, seniors can feel more secure in their own homes, and relatives as well as caregivers are given peace of mind that someone is always watching over their loved one - without the need for cameras or human presence.

Giving staff a helping hand

IoT devices can vastly improve the quality of service in care centers, where sensors such as the Motion Sensor and Entry Sensor can instantly notify staff about the behavior of patients who require assistance. This way, caregivers can quickly respond to any incidents, without needing to be present at all times, which in turn increases the effectiveness of their time, reduces costs, and improves the quality of care provided.

Improving care through data

Home care providers can gain insights from the data collected from the sensors, which can help them identify limitations in their understanding of patient behavior. Based on these insights, care providers can continuously improve their systems, providing better and better care for those living at home.
