LAS VEGAS, March 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Clairvoyant
Networks, LLC, chose AT&T* to provide connectivity to its new
line of caregiver solutions, Theora Care™. An AT&T SIM
transmits data over our highly secure network so that caregivers
can locate and connect with loved ones. AT&T Control Center
means Clairvoyant can offer a "plug and play" device – no
activation required by the user. More than 5 million Americans are
living with Alzheimer's. By 2050, this number could reach 16
million.1 The Theora Care products offer peace-of-mind
to the caregiver, while helping those experiencing cognitive issues
to live independently longer.
According to Clairvoyant, Theora Connect™ is a wristwatch-style
monitoring and communication device. Theora Link™ is a powerful
smartphone application. This Theora Care duo provides a 2-way
communications system between wearer and caregiver that:
- Delivers location and condition information about loved
ones.
- Provides caregiver alerts when the wearer strays from "safe
zones" that are set up in the app.
- Feature hands-free 2-way audio (no button pushing
required).
- Offers an SOS emergency function that goes directly to
caregiver, not a third-party call center.
- Alerts caregiver when battery is low.
"While shopping, one of my
greatest fears came true. I became separated from my husband, Bob
who suffers from memory loss," said Marie, Theora Care beta tester.
"Fortunately, I was able to use the hands-free 2-way audio feature
to get the attention of a good Samaritan who was near Bob. They
heard me trying to talk to Bob and helped bring him safely back to
me."
Theora Care solutions are ideal
for the aging in place populations to live independently, longer.
In residential care, a hospital or other places a caregiver isn't
always present, users can benefit from a virtual check in. People
with conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, Autism Spectrum
Disorder and Parkinson's disease can live with more independence.
Caregivers know where their loved one is and can reach them almost
instantly.
"I've experienced firsthand the challenges caregivers face. I've
witnessed relatives lose their independence as they've aged," said
Stephen Popovich, president and CEO
of Clairvoyant Networks. "Our mission is to provide solutions that
address those challenges and allow aging with dignity." Popovich
continued, "We chose AT&T not only for its leadership in IoT
technology, but also for its focus on innovative platforms in
telehealth. This is just the beginning of the situational awareness
solutions that will leverage AT&T's expertise."
AT&T will be demonstrating Theora Care remote monitoring
solutions this week at HIMSS 2018. Visitors at booth #5832 can
experience the first 2 Theora Care products.
What's to come
Coming next for Theora Care,
sensor-driven analytics that provide insight into patient status
and location. Care facilities will have access to data that will
help them remain compliant, retain employees and improve customer
service – leading to increased efficiency and productivity. These
solutions will go to market in the third quarter 2018.
