Vantiva, a global technology company, has introduced a new television-based solution called HomeSight Connected Care Suite for home and residential aged care providers in Australia. This innovative system allows for remote monitoring, care, and engagement for individuals requiring assistance and their families, promoting longer independent living.
The HomeSight Connected Care Suite includes a secure cloud-based management platform and environmental sensors that monitor daily routines. The goal is to provide care providers with valuable data that can be used to personalize care plans according to the individual’s specific needs and preferences.
Navneeth Kannan, the Vice President for HomeSight at Vantiva, expressed his enthusiasm for the potential of this new technology to enhance care and reduce social isolation among elderly Australians. He shared his personal experience of his 90-year-old father using the HomeSight system, emphasizing the peace of mind it brings knowing that he can easily connect with him and monitor his daily activities.
The vision behind HomeSight is to offer remote care options that complement traditional in-person care, creating a blended care approach. The TV-centric nature of HomeSight makes it an ideal solution, as it utilizes familiar and user-friendly technology that is accessible to a wide range of users.
The TV-based platform enables real-time communication through a built-in smart camera, with features such as video calling, photo sharing, and customizable care reminders and schedules for caregivers and families. Currently available in English, Spanish, Dutch, and French, the platform is not limited to Australia but also accessible in the United States of America, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
Navneeth Kannan mentioned that there are plans to enhance the HomeSight system with additional features in the future. These developments may include wellness monitoring and analytics, the integration of more connected medical and wellness devices like thermometers and pulse oximeters, and the provision of more comprehensive insights from the collected data. Moreover, there will be features added to make HomeSight more beneficial for care homes and assisted living facilities.
As Vantiva continues to innovate and improve the HomeSight Connected Care Suite, they encourage feedback and suggestions from the sector to enhance the product further. By providing a platform for remote care and monitoring, Vantiva aims to revolutionize the way care is delivered to elderly individuals, promoting independence, safety, and peace of mind for both caregivers and families.
