Monitoring Solutions for Seniors

HomeFree Inc., a global provider of wireless monitoring solutions for the senior long termcare and residential markets, is showcasing its break-through senior andhealth monitoring technology at the 2005 White House Conference on Aging,December 12-13th in Washington DC.

HomeFree will host hands-on interactive demonstrations of its HomeFree atHome solution at Booth #17 in the conference's Imagine Technology Pavilion.HomeFree's active monitoring technology is designed to enable seniors tocontinue living independently at home by providing a monitored environmentthat reports their well being and health status in a manner that is reliable,cost-effective and convenient for the caregiver. Independent living is a keygoal of the conference; including creating a means of allowing seniors to"age in place" within their home, whenever possible.

"Within a few years, over one third of America's population will beseniors - approximately 77 million people," said Guy Lerner, president ofHomeFree Inc. "HomeFree joins the WHCoA, and industry, government andnot-for-profit organizations in recognizing the importance of technology inbridging the gap between the critical needs of the growing elderly populationand available resources."

HomeFree's innovative monitoring approach, stressed personal monitoringof the resident over peripheral monitoring of his environment. This approachis critical in emergency situations, when the patient is incapable ofresponse or action. A few examples are:

- Automatic alerts when the monitored patient does not move for a periodof time.

- Notification to caregivers to ambient temperature changes outsidepre-set ranges.

- Alert feature if patient wanders outside of designated safe areas.

- Alert feature if personal watcher is removed or tampered with.

Current academic research is evaluating HomeFree's technologyeffectiveness in monitoring Parkinson's disease, dementia, neurologicaldisorders and other health issues.

HomeFree's long term carefacilities solution combines wandering alerts, nurse call, fall management,staff safety, and interfacing devices management solutions.
