Independa Announces Platform for Health, Safety, Activity Sensors

Independa Inc. of San Diego last week announced plans for the Artemis platform of health, safety and activity sensors to complete its integrated telecare suite for the independent elderly and their professional or family caregivers. The platform had its debut at the 2011 mHealth Summit in National Harbor, Md. The company plans to launch Artemis early next year. It will be fully integrated with and complement Independa’s current solutions: the Independa Caregiver Web App and Angela, the touchscreen-based, in-residence social engagement platform. Artemis will connect sensors to monitor vital signs, safety and home conditions via a wireless hub to the Internet. Care providers can use a Caregiver Web App to track care recipients’ well-being remotely.
