Connecting elders to communities with IOT

Introduction

Imagine, you are miles away from your mom. And you are worried about her health. It's a story of every family.

Safety is an essential consideration for extending elders living at home. Do you know that falls are the most common cause of injuries in elders (Senior Citizen). And, every year, on average, 3 out of 10 seniors would fall accidentally. A simple fall can result in broken hip bone, creating disabilities, and lots of more problems.

The Situation Is Terrible When Elders Needs You, And You Are Too Far To Help Them.

Hundreds of thousands of elders live on their own, and many of them experience loneliness and are at risk daily. According to research, loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. The loneliness caused hopelessness, and such people are 50% more likely to die prematurely as compared with socially active people. It increases the state of depression, which results in low immunity and also contributes to serious heart disease.

A home without elders is like a house without a blessing — so it's our responsibility to take care of our elders. Do not leave me when I am old!

Is Distress Button an option?

In recent times, the distress button is also an option to deal with such an emergency. But the problem arises when the old man (Senior) is not able to press the button because of any emergency. This could be a real problem in crisis time.

The remote monitoring can also be a better option for elders other than the distress button. But these monitoring systems are expensive, and people are not properly aware of it and how to use it. Such monitoring systems are made for medical services providing companies or used by medical intuitions.

IoT the Right Hand for Elders Health-Care

We need a complete solution that not only sends us alert during an emergency but also gathers and delivers all the important metrics related to health. Now here, IoT can play its part and become more important than ever.

The “Affinity for Elders” Organization

We think IoT can add great value to seniors to live independently. The "Affinity for the Elder" is the most suitable answer for all the people who LOVES their seniors and want to do good for them.

This platform is a social network that provides communities and senior citizens the opportunity to take part in joint activities, provides services, and first aid in case emergencies, by using monitoring systems. It also enables community-centered, volunteer-based participation to be "Affinity for Elder" trustees in the community of residence.

Monitoring your Heart Health and overall Body - Our organization loves technology. It has years of experience in IoT; We want to distribute a heart-monitoring, location-enabled cellular bracelet with an emergency call ability to lonely elderly. The bracelet can alert to physiological change trends, locations, and if needed, the elderly can press the distress button. How exciting that IoT has the potential to help seniors and maintain their independence.

We care about YOU – When it comes to caring for your senior trust in us. Our system will be connected to additional emergency systems, police, MDA Israel, and provide a complete health cover.

Affordable Price - The cost per human for monitoring system should not be more than NIS 19 a month, and no infrastructure required. "Affinity for the Elder" will work in conjunction with community agencies, welfare services, nonprofits, and anyone else who wants to help.

In the era where we are sounded by technology, so why not using it for the right cause. We aim to provide quality life to 5,000 senior citizens in 2020 and to establish a social venture to serve the senior citizens to socialize by encouraging joint activities, meet-ups, and maintaining a constant contact using technological means.

We are looking for partners and volunteers. Now you have to make home a safe and healthy place to live. Many senior citizens pass away fighting with loneliness. There is no replacement for REAL HUGS, but small efforts can produce huge happiness in their lives.

Help your Seniors to stay as long as possible.
