Empowering digital solutions that change lives for the better

Challenges

Independent Living - Challenges

Across the globe, healthcare organisations are involved in a constant tension between meeting the increasing demand for services and reducing the rising cost. Managing chronic health conditions and providing care for an ageing population is becoming more challenging each year; for example, the number of people with dementia is forecast to reach 75 million by 2030.1 They can be at risk when living alone, but moving to residential care is not always desirable or affordable. IoT-powered assisted living solutions bridge the gap transforming services to enable people to live independently in and out of their homes for longer with more peace of mind while reducing costs in end to end patient solutions.

How we can help

Vodafone provides a range of solutions from managed tablets and handhelds to mobile asset tracking, all linking to a secure Healthcare Platform where clinicians or carers can monitor the patient’s outcomes or safety inside or outside the home. We also manage the relationships with a breadth of partners to enable new innovative health solutions are implemented. For example, our partnership with Lively Home by GreatCall enabled wireless activity sensors to be placed into the homes of patients. Family members could then discretely check, via an online dashboard with a secure login, that their elderly relatives were safe, giving them peace of mind and enabling people to live independently in their own homes.
