Home automation support using assistive aids and technology
You can use home automation technology to help make your life easier around the home. Some solutions even let you manage your home remotely, or use it to check on a relative that needs additional support.
Just Checking
As an activity monitoring system, Just Checking helps people live in their own homes for longer by showing family and professionals their day-to-day capabilities. Just Checking uses discreet wireless movement sensors placed around a property to send an overview of daily activity to an online app. From here, family and professionals can see whether an individual is visiting the kitchen to make meals, using the bathroom as expected, and getting a good night's sleep.

Autonome8
Our system Autonom8 lets you control your home or another property from your phone. It has security monitoring and you can use multiple devices to control and monitor the same area at the same time. If one phone turns on a light, the others are automatically synced. If a security sensor is tripped, all phones are notified immediately.

Possum
An environmental control system which assists the user to perform activities around the home and enhances independence, for example, answer the phone, switch on the lights, draw the curtains, etc.
User review - "It's the small things that make the difference. I can open the curtains, call for assistance at night, be left without needing constant care. The Possum system is robust and reliable providing me with a level of freedom, independence and privacy. Without it I would be restricted, dependant on others and unconfident that I could get help when I need it." Jonathan. Case Study - Since leaving hospital following an industrial vehicle accident in 1989, Jonathan has used a range of Assistive Technology provided by Possum. The accident caused a C4, C5 complete injury (damaging the vertebrae and spinal cord) leaving Jonathan tetraplegic: paralysed from the shoulders down, with limited upper body movement. After a review of Jonathan's requirements, in consultation with the local community occupational therapist, Stoke Mandeville spinal injuries OT and the local GP, Jonathan's home was adapted with a PSU6 Environmental Control System. When Jonathan moved house, the system moved with him. As the technology developed and Jonathan's requirements changed, Possum installed a companion controller and more recently upgraded to the Vivo! home control device. For Jonathan, being left without the need of assistance, especially at night, is important. Providing him with the means to control his entertainment and environment means that this is possible. |
