InclusionSociety provides a preventive health solution for senior citizens at home & in institutions by providing a management portal with an overview of Service Users condition and data collected by medical & “smart home” sensors. The care manager on duty can focus on preventive health principals through knowing where to act. The solution consists of: The homePad – a user friendly intuitive touch screen tablet; The friends & family portal – facilitating easy communication & remote care between Service Users & their families; And the nursePad – designed with high usability & EMR function for nurses visiting senior citizens at home or in institutions. The Care Management System is for Service Providers or Municipal Health Services & gives the central care office an up-dated overview of those at home through an alerts system as well alarm warnings in emergency situations.
Objectives
Inclusion Society is a connected service system which will support organisations delivering an improved community care service. The aim is to help people adapt their lifestyle, improve their health, and feel connected. InS aims to encourage a change in behaviour by applying motivational techniques and thinking. The client uses a tablet PC & records health data via smart sensors. Social interaction with family, friends & care provider is supported by a network of cloud ‘portals’. InS will provide preventive health care for senior citizens at home and institutions, improving their security and quality of life.
Expected results and impact
InclusionSociety development will deliver 4 modules, where at an early stage homePad and the friends & family portal can be installed. The system will grow with their demands to cover the demands of care by bridging the homePad to Care Management System at the Service Provider’s centre. Further, when there will be a demand for medical support, the nursePad will be linked to follow up in home or in institutions for senior citizens. InclusionSociety will meet the goals to give senior citizens an opportunity to stay longer at home with a higher quality life as well as improving utilisation of the municipality facilities.
