Co-Founder and CEO, Furqan Alamgir, is a trained doctor and all members of his direct family practicing in health, either as GPs, or hospital consultants. With this pedigree, he understands, only too well, the challenges and pressures in these sectors.
His ambition now is to help build smart care homes, smart hospitals and support and prolong independent living, using smart technology by bringing together the best devices, sensors and detectors to a proven integrated platform.
The aim is to provide real-time data and insight into different operational areas, to give care providers the tools to measure, monitor and drive performance for the benefit of service users and those responsible for service delivery. The platform can be used to link sensors and devices that can trigger alerts and prompts for carers, as well as providing dashboard reporting on the information transmitted to the platform e.g. falls, motion detectors, weight, activity, medication administration etc.
Connexin Health is an end-to-end solution provider aiming to deploy new technologies and data platforms to support smarter solutions to service delivery.
Product Overview

Connexin Health offer several solutions to support the adult social care sector that consolidates the activity within a building and bridges this with occupancy measures that is combined with assisted-living devices that forms part of the building infrastructure. The platform is the conduit to access all information. This can include, but not limited to:
• Care-assist devices and sensors
• Health monitoring devices
• Occupancy levels
• Air Quality (C02) sensors
• Humidity sensors
• Temperature control
• Legionella checks/monitoring
• Fire door and fire extinguishers
Connexin Health offer a wide-range of care-assisted devices and sensors to support the delivery of care. These devices can be managed through the platform to collate information, which can be very informative for carers in understanding the changing needs of clients and to set alerts and triggers as required. For example, the platform can hold ‘behavioural patterns’ e.g. sleeping patterns, heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximeter, activity and motion, which send alerts or triggers to the carer of any notable changes that may indicate a decline in individuals health and well-being. Other examples include fall detectors, incontinence sensors and medication dispensing.
