Rethinking Safety Technology for Aging at Home  

#Silvie #SafetyTechnology #Privacy #Dignity

Lori La Bey talks with Alex Qi, the co-founder and CEO of Pontosense, the world leader in short-range radar, and the creator of Silvie, a consumer brand that uses contactless sensing to keep older adults safe and independent at home. After losing three grandparents to falls, Alex and his co-founders set out to build technology that treats the older adult as a partner, not a patient.

Learn:
The impact falls had on developing the Silvie technology.
How is Silvie's radar technology different from other monitoring services?
Why is privacy and dignity important when picking services and products for those we care for?
How does Silvie keep adults involved as part of the team making decisions about them vs families just managing their needs around them?
What does Radar actually sense and pick up as a monitoring system?
Are there benefits to the family if they start Silvie early in the progression of the disease?
Advice for bringing safety technology into a home without taking away their independence.
