See how Perth residents are using InteliCare to help independent elderly people live at home and keep their families updated on their wellbeing. As families are turning to artificial intelligence to keep elderly loved ones safe, carers are now able to watch over them with smart sensors.

85 years old Pat lives alone in Rockingham, like most people Pat’s age, she doesn’t want to be a burden on her children. InteliCare has became a solution for seniors like Pat, when it comes to ageing at home. InteliCare’s advanced analytics and artificial intelligence communicate with her children and her carers that she’s ok.

Rather than using intrusive cameras, InteliCare’s system uses smart home sensors that don’t invade people’s privacy and can deliver high-level intelligence on the senior’s behaviour. The system sense and remembers what Pat does. If there’s a deviation in routine, it sends families a series of messages so they can act to avoid an emergency happening.

Developed in Perth, InteliCare is an affordable aged care solution that can be paid for through a home care package. It is cheaper than getting a carer.

There’s no doubt that new technology like this will play an important part in caring for our loved ones in the future.
