NEW TECHNOLOGY HELPS BOOMERS CARE FOR AGING PARENTS

Story Summary:

A TOP CONCERN FOR MANY ADULT CHILDREN WHO CARE FOR AN ELDERLY LOVED ONE IS THAT AN ACCIDENT OR ILLNESS COULD LEAVE THEM WITHOUT HELP FOR HOURS.

NOW AN EARLY DETECTION AND WARNING SYSTEM FROM ADT SECURITY SERVICES CALLED QUIET CARE PLUS IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME EMERGENCIES.

THE NON-INVASIVE TECHNOLOGY USES MOTION DETECTORS, NOT CAMERAS TO MONITOR A SENIOR'S ACTIVITIES TO DETERMINE IF THERE'S BEEN ANY CHANGES IN THEIR HABITS. THE SYSTEM SENDS REGULAR UPDATES TO BOTH CAREGIVERS AND MONITORING PROFESSIONALS TRAINED TO DEAL WITH SENIORS AND RECOGNIZE SIGNS OF A POSSIBLE EMERGENCY.

NANCY CHISHOLM, REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT, ADT SECURITY SERVICES: "A signal is sent to the ADT customer-monitoring center where we will try to contact that individual to see if everything's okay. If we are unable to do that, we'll contact one of the caregivers and in the event we can't reach one of them, we can send an ambulance or the medical authorities."
