Made in Germany: Market Launch for Gigaset smart care
_The intelligent senior citizens assistance system from Gigaset_
Just in time for IFA 2018 in Berlin, Gigaset launches the sale of smart
care. The new senior citizens assistance system allows elderly people to
stay longer in their own home and informs caring relatives reliably about
irregularities. Gigaset smart care is based on the technical basis of the
proven Smart Home system from Gigaset and the first system of its kind.
"People are getting older and want to keep their self-determined life as
long as possible," says Dirk Kelbch, Head of Smart Home at Gigaset. "We have
developed Gigaset smart care for this new generation of senior citizens and
their relatives." The system consists of five universal sensors for windows
and doors, two motion detectors and a wireless push-button that serves as an
alarm button.
The components communicate wirelessly with the base station. The cloud
evaluates the data, places it in a context and compares it with previously
set parameters. If there are deviations - for example if the house is left
at an unusual time - the Gigaset smart care App will immediately inform
relatives by push message. In combination with a senior-friendly DECT
telephone, automatic calls to up to four stored telephone numbers are also
possible. So senior citizens know that a trusted person is notified quickly
and directly whenever necessary. And relatives can be sure that the living
family member is doing well.
"At the end of 2015, we dealt with the question of which options Smart Home
scenarios can offer for elderly people. In 2016, we transferred these
considerations into an extensive field study. We are proud to announce that
we are now able to introduce a new product for the consumer market and to be
the first supplier on the market with such a solution", continues Dirk
Kelbch.
"For us, Gigaset smart care is much more than just a new product: if elderly
people can live longer at home thanks to our technology, we consider this as
a valuable social contribution," adds Gigaset CEO Klaus Weßing.
The technology behind the new Gigaset smart care systems will be presented
as part of the IFA 2018 at the DECT FORUM booth. Dirk Kelbch and Edgar
Schollmeyer, Product Manager Smart Care, are on-site as contact persons.
