Product Overview
Having both a tablet (hardware) and software means the Home Care Provider can communicate with both the carers out in the field and with the service
user in their home. The Home Care Provider can send messages to the carer(s) on the App.
Messages can also be sent to the service users – mass messages or individual messages. The tablet can also be used for virtual calls via the VoIP feature, which the service user can also use to contact family and friends.
Beanbag Care
Developed by Secure Meters, Beanbag Care is an innovative suite of smart, independent living solutions that are designed to deliver a range of benefits to local authorities, home care providers, extra sheltered housing providers and their customers.
Drawing on Secure Meters’ heritage for property technology excellence, Beanbag Care is a technology enabled care solution designed to provide better quality care at the same cost, so that people can live in their own homes for longer, safer and with greater independence.
Beanbag Care increases the quality and efficiency of care by giving home care provides remote access to real-time, granulated data on the welfare and
satisfaction of their customers or residents. It achieves this by combining the power of web connected home sensors with smart, automated decision-
making capabilities.
Beanbag Platform.
Beanbag Care services utilise a smart home system of sensors and communication products. The system can be configured according to the service user requirements providing flexibility and scalability. At the heart of the system is a Gateway – this unit provides a wireless link to all the in-home sensors, assimilates data and communicates to the cloud via broadband or GSM. The range of sensors includes motion detectors, pressure sensors, combined temperature & humidity sensors, CO sensors and door sensors.
There is a tablet with an option to wall mount or place in a free-standing holder – this is used to display useful information and provide video calling; it also includes an SOS button. Everything is intended for simple one touch use and was developed with input from older service users. To ensure privacy there are NO cameras or listening devices.
The care provider can contact the cloud-based service via a portal that can be accessed via a standard pc or laptop. The portal provides simple to use
dashboards and the facility to run bespoke reports.
