GrandCare Systems offers the most comprehensive and fully featured product on the market today. It combines aspects of smart home technology, internet communications, and telewellness in one flexible, user friendly, and affordable package.

The system consists of a central unit, which is very similar to a TiVo box, connected to a TV or monitor, and a source of internet, either wired or wireless. The system will then provide a continuous display of news, weather, pictures, email, reminders etc. to the loved one's TV. learn more

At the same time, the unit listens to a wide range of wireless sensors, which monitor activities of daily living and wellness.

The system can then be accessed via the internet by remote family or professional caregivers to assess the wellness and safety of the loved one. The system can be instructed to send an email, text message, or phone call to the caregivers if something is amiss, say the temperature in the house falls below a certain level. The caregivers can also use the web interface to send pictures, email, reminders to the loved one's TV.

To learn more, you can find out how it works, or take a look at how the system is appropriate for the private home, or the long term care provider. You can also learn more about the comunication/cognition, or the supported sensors.
