Klagenfurt (OTS) – One third of all people over 65 in Austria live alone at home and are therefore on their own not only in everyday life, but also in emergencies. Especially in times of crisis such as the current coronavirus pandemic, the relatives of older people are constantly worried and on alert, not least because they are not allowed to visit their loved ones. This is where the Austrian IT company ilogs comes in:
Using mobile devices and innovative software such as the JAMES TeleCare solution, ilogs enables both private individuals and care facilities to conduct online visits and offer professional care services via video – for example, the administration of medication.
The IT company ilogs healthcare, based in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, has been developing software solutions for mobile telemedicine since 2005. To ensure the continuous further development of its product portfolio, the e-health specialist collaborates with international partners and renowned research institutions. Since 2012, ilogs has been conducting intensive research in the field of Active Assisted Living (AAL). The result: the JAMES TeleCare solution for the online support of users. In addition, ilogs is the developer of MOCCA ONE, the market-leading e-health software for professional care services.
Equipped with ilogs’ intelligent software, the JAMES tablet offers a solution to the social isolation of older people living alone. The device has proven to be an innovative solution, especially under extraordinary circumstances – such as the current coronavirus crisis – when family visits or professional in-person care are not possible.
The JAMES tablet breaks down social isolation and offers older people a simple way to stay in touch with their relatives via video call. In addition, additional age-appropriate functions such as emergency calls, medication reminders, easy internet access or entertainment offerings (games, news, weather forecast, etc.) can be activated if required. The JAMES tablet can also be used by professional organizations such as outpatient care services or nursing homes.
The smart JAMES emergency watch was developed specifically for the needs of older people: many older people carry out their daily activities unaccompanied. This often leads to anxiety when leaving the house and limits their quality of life. The JAMES emergency watch provides independence and security at the push of a button: this special smartwatch supports everyday tasks, enables voice messages with family and friends, and calls for help when needed. As part of the JAMES TeleCare solution, it has so far supported thousands of older people worldwide.
