Appello announces its latest partner to join its new innovative insight driven services
Digital telecare provider Appello has announced Hero Labs as its latest partner to join its new innovative insight driven services that deliver proactive wellbeing monitoring to vulnerable citizens and property.
Supporting more than 300,000 elderly and vulnerable citizens across the UK, Appello provides emergency call and digital safety and wellbeing innovations on behalf of local authority and housing provider customers.
Proactive wellbeing monitoring is a move towards utilising data insights from class-leading technologies to enable improvements in the delivery of community care and empower early intervention to avoid both health and property related emergencies, says Apello.
Appello will integrate with Hero Labs’ smart water management platform to help provide a comprehensive picture of resident activity, contributing to their wellbeing index.
The Sonic smart valve enables non-intrusive monitoring of resident water usage and provides early warning if they do not make a cup of tea or use the facilities as expected during the course of the day. It also provides protection in the case of a leak or elevated risk of Legionnaires disease.
On the announcement of the collaboration, Tim Barclay, CEO at Appello commented; “We are delighted that another innovative organisation, a leading expert in its field, has partnered with Appello in our Proactive Wellbeing Monitoring (PWM) solutions.
“Hero Labs provides an important set of data insights that complement those from other innovations as part of the PWM package. This delivers an even richer insight into the wellbeing of property and citizens that can create significant benefits to housing and care providers.”
Adam Williams, CEO at Hero Labs concluded; “The best health and wellbeing outcomes for end customers, and the best value outcome for housing and care providers, come when problems are anticipated and prevented.
“Together we are excited to begin implementing these solutions with various clients across the UK over the coming months.”
Regarding home health monitoring equipment, mobility equipment specialist Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare launched a new range of products which includes blood pressure monitors, digital thermometers and blood glucose monitors.
