Access elderly monitoring solutions for an ageing population
Canary Care’s elderly monitoring devices work with both families looking to support their older relatives, and Local Authorities and housing groups wanting to help their older residents to keep their independence.
Whichever route you come to address the challenge of supporting older people’s lifestyles, one thing is clear, it’s difficult to find good information about the kind of support available and how you go about accessing it. There is no retail market, though we hope this will develop as there is certainly a large unmet need. Some Local Authorities are building websites with products and services to help guide those who don’t receive funded support. There are some great online sites such as communityhousing.co.uk with a great range of devices to make life easier for families, but unless you know of these sites, what do you search for with google?
The Growing Need for Elderly Monitoring Devices
As the global population ages and awareness around the needs of vulnerable elderly individuals increases, the market for assistive devices has experienced significant growth.
The World Health Organisation predicts the number of people aged 60 years and older will increase to 1.4 billion my 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050 - driving a demand for elderly monitoring devices, expected to reach a worth of $7.5 billion by 2032.
How Canary Care Supports Families and Care Providers
Canary Care’s activity monitoring solutions keep vulnerable individuals safe in their homes, while avoiding unnecessary home visits from care providers and costly care home admissions.
Our sensors offer continuous visibility into motion, temperature, humidity, and light levels within the property, keeping families and caregivers informed about daily routines while identifying if any irregularities occur. Activity data, accessible via the Canary Care portal, provide invaluable insight into these specific care needs, enabling care professionals to deliver the right support at the right time through timely intervention, prevention, and personalised care planning.
Increasing Future Awareness of Home Care Technology
If we can expand the knowledge and awareness of support tools for older people, there is an amazing prize to be gained in greater wellbeing and longer, healthier years in later life. Maybe there is an opportunity for the government, which has a strong vested interest in keeping older people out of hospital and care homes, and the retail sector, to promote independent living so we achieve that prize.
