People Power Caregiver

Caregiving for people with dementia can be challenging and stressful. With that in mind, an important research project is now underway to increase the emotional and physical wellbeing of caregivers for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The National Institute on Aging funds this research and you may be eligible to participate at absolutely no cost.
Silicon Valley technology company People Power and researchers at the University of California Berkeley have developed a system designed to improve the safety of persons with dementia and mild cognitive impairment, and to reduce the social isolation of their caregivers.
Presence Caregiver learns daily activity patterns and can warn caregivers, family members and friends about incidents of concern with text alerts of potential hazards including falls, water leaks and wandering. The system is designed to work without making significant demands on a caregivers’ time and energy.
Receive mobile alerts if something appears to be wrong:
- Know if someone wandered away from home
- Know if they have likely experienced a fall
- Know if their bathroom visit frequency changes
Track the current activities of occupants:
- Know if and when the front door opened
- Know which room in the home an occupant visited
- Know when medication was accessed
Better understand rest and sleep patterns:
- Know what time they went to bed and got up
- Know if someone leaves the bedroom at night
- Track sleep history and quality for improved health insights
Enable support from family and friends:
- Add specific people to receive alerts
- Create and delegate helpful tasks to others
- Coordinate family and friends to stay in contact

- Call for help with the wirelessly connected button
- Help prevent falls at night with nightlights
