NurtureWatch
selects Sierra Wireless IoT solution to improve quality of life for the
elderly
Sierra
Wireless’ IoT solution enables NurtureWatch tracking and monitoring
features that help elderly people maintain a safe, healthy and
independent lifestyle
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2019--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading provider of fully
integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced that its IoT connectivity solution is enabling tracking
and communications for the NurtureWatch, a wearable device that helps
elderly people stay safe, healthy and independent.
Bob Bilbruck, Acting Chief Marketing Officer, NurtureWatch, said: “The
number of individuals in the 70+ age bracket is growing, placing stress
on care facilities and family members. Sierra Wireless’ IoT solution
provides the reliability that NurtureWatch needs to give elderly people
their independence back, with key features to monitor their health and
keep them connected with family and caregivers. The NurtureWatch is
about 1/10
th
the cost of a full-time care giver and helps
elderly people live independently for longer.”
The expense of continuous, at-home care is one of the primary reasons
that elderly people move into care facilities. For families and
healthcare companies, the NurtureWatch can offset the cost of supporting
elderly people and help them live independently in their homes for
longer. In addition to 24/7 heart rate monitoring and fall detection,
the NurtureWatch provides pill reminders to ensure medication
compliance, GPS location tracking and geo-fencing to help elderly people
stay in safe locations, and an SOS button and two-way calling to
guarantee that they can quickly and easily call for help.
Marc Overton, Chief Solutions Officer, Sierra Wireless, said: “The
NutureWatch is a great example of how IoT solutions are transforming
lives. It empowers elderly people to maintain their independence and
improve quality of life for themselves and their families.”
The NutureWatch is paired with a smartphone to keep elderly people
connected and provide a safety net that allows constant monitoring and
gives them greater independence – without the expense or intrusion of a
24/7 caregiver. To develop their solution, NurtureWatch teamed up with
Captjur, a services and technology company based in California.
