Family Guardian is an in-home system offering comprehensive activity monitoring of seniors to caregivers from afar, based on Essence’s IoT-based solution, Care@Home Family Home Monitoring system for seniors.
The IoT Evolution Business Impact Award presented by TMC and Crossfire Media recognized a select group of companies and business leaders who have successfully leveraged IoT to solve a business issue, launch a new service, or create revenue opportunities.
The Care@Home Family is part of Essence’s Care@Home multi-service aging-in-place product suite that offers home monitoring experience, allowing independence for seniors and peace of mind for their loved ones. The customizable Care@Home Family allows loved ones to be kept aware of their relatives’ well-being by being alerted of specific daily events.
Essence and Medical Guardian have been partners since 2014. Essence’s advanced senior monitoring technologies track residents and provide automatic alerts in emergency situations, taking the burden of care away from the elderly and affords them a higher level of safety.
