Qorvo® (Nasdaq:QRVO), a leading provider of innovative RF solutions
that connect the world, is helping seniors live more independently
in their homes with the help of a new eHealth system powered by the
company’s chipsets for the Internet of Things (IoT). Health insurer
CZ will provide the system to 3,000 elderly customers in the
Netherlands, marking the first deployment of a senior smart home
solution by a large health insurance company.
eHealth technologies with whole-home sensor systems present an
opportunity for health insurers and consumers to reduce healthcare
costs and enhance quality of life. According to Grand View
Research, the global eHealth market is expected to reach $308
billion by 2022, and the transition of the healthcare industry into
a digital healthcare system for management and analysis of patient
health is expected to be the most vital driver of the market.1
The system that CZ will deploy consists of a non-intrusive set
of motion and open/close sensors, and a gateway. It combines proven
cloud algorithm expertise from Sensara with industry-leading
Zigbee® Green Power RF solutions from Qorvo. Zigbee Green Power is
optimized for ultra-long coin-cell battery life sensors (10-year
replacement) and provides secure, long-range and highly reliable
wireless data transmission. These features are essential to the
evolution of the smart home.
Menno Janssen, strategic program manager of CZ, said, “We
believe that seniors using reliable eHealth systems will gain a
wide range of benefits, enhancing their quality of life and
enabling their families or caregivers to have peace of mind that
they are safe and healthy.”
Cees Links, general manager of Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity
business unit, said, “The innovation that Qorvo delivers in its
Zigbee Green Power RF solutions, combined with behavior analysis
algorithms, helps elderly people live longer and more independently
at home. We’re excited about our partnership with CZ, a large
health insurance company, and commend them for being a frontrunner
in deploying eHealth solutions to improve lives. The IoT lifestyle
market is quickly growing, and Qorvo is proud to play a more
significant part.”
Qorvo products that solve the IoT’s toughest RF challenges will
be showcased during CES 2018 (#CES2018) in Las Vegas, Nevada,
January 9-12, in booth #42531, Halls A-D of Sands Expo.
