Short description
Sensara ProCare is the 3rd generation sensor technology offering a 24/7 passive alarm function in the nursing home rooms. Four types of alarms are relevant: fall detection, leaving the room, out of bed detection and prolonged stay in the bathroom. Caretakers use one simple app on their smartphone that offers an overview of all the rooms and allows them to handle alarms between colleagues.
Sensare was created out of AAL project Rosetta (http://www.aal-europe.eu/projects/rosetta/).
