Klagenfurt (OTS) – One-third of all people over the age of 65 in Austria live alone at home and are therefore left to fend for themselves, not only in everyday life but also in emergencies. Especially in times of crisis like the current coronavirus pandemic, the relatives of elderly people are constantly worried and on standby, especially since 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 like the JAMES TeleCare solution, ilogs enables both private individuals and care facilities to conduct online visits and provide professional care services via video—such as administering medication.
Based in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, the IT company ilogs healthcare has been developing software solutions for mobile telemedicine since 2005. To ensure the continuous innovation of its product range, 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 online user care. In addition, ilogs is the company behind MOCCA ONE, the market-leading e-health software for professional care services.
Equipped with ilogs' smart software, the JAMES tablet offers a solution for the social isolation of elderly people who live alone. The device has proven to be an innovative solution, especially in exceptional circumstances – like the current coronavirus crisis – when family visits or in-person professional care are not possible.
The JAMES tablet breaks the social isolation and offers seniors an easy way to video call with their loved ones. Furthermore, additional age-friendly features, such as emergency calls, medication reminders, easy internet access, or entertainment (games, news, weather forecast, etc.) can be activated as needed. The JAMES tablet can also be used by professional organizations such as home care services or nursing homes.
The JAMES emergency smartwatch was specifically developed to meet the needs of older adults: many seniors carry out their daily activities unaccompanied. This often leads to anxiety when leaving the house and limits their quality of life. The JAMES Emergency Smartwatch provides independence and security at the touch of a button: this specialized smartwatch assists with daily tasks, allows for voice messages with family and friends, and calls for help when needed. As part of the JAMES TeleCare solution, it has supported thousands of older adults worldwide to date.
