70% of people over 65 years receive care services at home, and most of them have informal carers . Today, social services are making emphasis on providing caring services at home, rather than moving the elders to care homes. Elder Mobility Angel (EMA) is a solution designed for elders at risk of falls and/or potentially unsafe mobility who live independently or semi-independently, and the people who take care of them (usually relatives or friends). EMA is based on the use of standard mobile devices and web platforms that allow caregivers to receive real-time information on falls and location-related risks, in order to provide a rapid assistance.

FALL DETECTION

EMA detects when a care receiver carrying the mobile phone falls and sends a time stamped message to the carer(s) indicating the event and a Google map link with the location where it happened.

EMERGENCY IN-CALLS

When any of the caregivers calls the user and the call is not answered within a pre-determined number of seconds (configurable), the call is automatically answered by the mobile phone of the user through the speakerphone function.

LOCATION QUERY

The caregiver can at any moment in time through the EMA portal, consult the location of the mobile phone of the care-receiver through

QUICK CALLS
