Assisted Living - Spectator Smart Home Solutions

Support in aging by allowing elderly people to have direct access to smart solutions and enabling them to ‘age in place’ from their own homes or independent residents. Care organisations face these challenges caring for seniors with various medical needs. Spectator's Telehealth solutions are helpful in supporting seniors living at home as well as enhancing digital care. The exhibition CASACOR 2021 Ribeirão has started and promotes the Smart Residence concept for senior living.

We congratulate Aging2.0 for the initiative, the geriatrician Paulo Fernandes Formighieria, the biomedical engineer Norton Mello, with a PhD in #seniorliving, as well as the architects Drª Maria Luisa Bestetti, and Mariana Mie Chao, for looking into the demands and desires of the public over 60 years old. As Portal Medicina e Saúde states, the population of 60+ years old Brazilians is transforming to a more active and quality of-life seeking group. The difference in demand, not only in Brazil but seen worldwide, requires customisable smart housing solutions. According to IBGE data (2018), one in four Brazilians will be over 65 years old in 2060 - representing 25.5% of the total. Before, already in 2034, the 65+ will be 15% of the total and by 2046, will reach 20%. To compare, in 2010 - 11 years ago - this age group represented 7.3%. Until then, according to specialists, the market needs to promote healthy living (salutogenesis), safety and comfort in environments for the 60+ public, in addition to citing technology as an essential resource for the inclusion, autonomy and dignity of the elderly. In these cases, Spectator's Telehealth Communication Platform (SCP) can help promote the quality of life and well-being of this population through the concept of Connected Homes, see Spectator Healthcares core competences for remote monitoring and support:
