JAMES® emergency watches

JAMES watches are based on a consistently advanced software and hardware concept. The focus is on the in-house development of the system software by the ilogs team: individually programmed firmware, stable OTA updates (over-the-air), configurable user interfaces and seamless connection to the James TeleCare platform and call centres.

The innovative functions include

• Two-way voice communication with alarm centre or relatives
• GPS+LBS+WLAN localisation for precise location determination - even indoors
• Fall detection with algorithmic intelligence
• Vital parameter integration (heart rate, movement, sleep)
• SMS fallback in the event of network loss - automated emergency message via SMS to defined contacts
• Geofencing options for runaway protection (dementia care)
• Silent monitoring & remote configuration for carers & administrators

These functions are not static, but can be expanded on an ongoing basis. ilogs maintains a continuous software development cycle with feature updates, security patches and improvements based on customer feedback and research.

With its „JAMES emergency watches" product line, ilogs can look back on over a decade of successful development, implementation and further development. While many competitors market short-term hardware solutions, ilogs pursues a sustainable platform approach: long-lasting devices, expandable software, compatible infrastructure.

At ilogs, sustainability means:

• Device generations with a long product service life
• Repairability & updatability for years to come
• Reduction of disposable hardware through reuse
• Energy-saving designs and optimised charging cycles
• Modularity to grow with changing user needs

This philosophy makes JAMES a sustainable solution - economically and ecologically.

What makes ilogs special is not just the hardware, but the deep IT expertise behind it. As a software company specialising in eHealth, IoT and security solutions, ilogs develops all platform components, communication interfaces and device software in-house.

This allows:

• Customised adaptations for partners (white label)
• Fast reactions to market changes
• Full control over data protection & data security
• Integrations with third-party providers & call centres
• Seamless linking with other James products (tablet, family app, sales tools)

The JAMES platform from Ilogs is not only designed for your own watches, but also for an open future. With the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach, third-party devices such as smartwatches, smart rings or smartphones can also be integrated into the security system in future - while retaining all alarm, communication and localisation functions.

This means: Organisations and users are given maximum flexibility in their choice of end devices - without having to forego the proven security and platform integration of JAMES.

An emergency watch should be functional - but also want to be worn. The JAMES watches combine technology and style: modern, slim design, easy-to-read display, intuitive buttons, simple operation - specially developed for the needs of older people or people with limited motor skills.

Advantages for end users:

• Wearing comfort & suitability for everyday use
• Clear interface with large icons
• Visually appealing - not stigmatising
• Waterproof (IP67), robust but lightweight
• Customisable dials & menu navigation

This user-friendliness promotes acceptance among end customers and minimises training costs for organisations.

JAMES emergency call watches offer redundant safety functions that go far beyond the standard of conventional systems:

• SMS fallback if no data connection is available
• Locally cached alarms that are automatically transmitted when the power returns
• End-to-end encryption of all communication channels
• Automatic escalation logic in the event of non-response
• Localisation and call forwarding in background mode

In combination with the James platform, reliable 24/7 protection is possible - no matter where the wearer is located.

The JAMES emergency call watches are fully prepared for integration into professional processes:

• Connection to call centres (e.g. German Red Cross, ASB, Johanniter, etc.)
• Management via web portal & Rest APIs
• Status overview, remote maintenance & configuration

Whether care organisation, home emergency call provider or security service - the clocks can be integrated into individual workflows and facilitate the management of large user groups.
