Canary Care’s passive monitoring system helped give Ella’s adult sons peace of mind that she was managing well at home, even when they couldn’t be there in person to check in.
Snapshot
It’s common to worry about a vulnerable loved one when you’re not able to check in as often as you’d like. For families like Ella’s, who are living overseas, passive activity monitoring can offer much-needed peace of mind – without compromising their loved one’s privacy.
Challenges
When checking in from overseas, Ella’s family faced a few key challenges.
Living in a different country, it was difficult for the family to gather real insight into how their mother was getting on. Phone calls can only reveal so much, leaving them uncertain about how well she was managing.
Her family were looking for a way to check in with their mother, while still respecting her privacy. Since Canary Care’s system works without cameras, microphones, or wearables, it offered a discreet solution.
With limited information about how their mother was getting on, it was difficult for the children to know when she might need support.

Solution
Remote activity-monitoring helped Ella’s boys identify positive behavioural patterns, reassuring them that it was safe for her to continue living independently.
By installing the Canary Care sensors on doors around the house, the family built a clear picture of their mother’s daily routine, including when she usually got up and when she settled down for the evening. This meant they could easily spot if something happened that didn’t look quite right.
The Canary Care system offered reassurance that Ella was managing well at home – with her sons knowing they would be alerted to any changes so they could step in when they needed to. Their mother was able to keep living at home independently, and her children could continue living overseas with peace of mind.
Outcomes
The data being gathered by Canary Care offered vital reassurance that she was coping well on her own. With objective sensor data, it was clear that she could continue living safely at home.
The Canary Care Portal made it easier for the family to stay on the same page about how she was managing, and keep an eye on things no matter where in the world they happened to be.
Speaking on the phone wasn't always enough to assure the boys that she was managing well at home. Canary Care offered a fuller picture, allowing them to see she was moving freely around the house, and had developed her own routine.
With no cameras, microphones, or wearables, Canary Care allowed family to check-in on their mother without compromising her privacy.
