Case Studies

Names have been changed to protect anonymity

Derek is an 80-year-old male, who has a Diagnosis of Parkinson’s, a stoma bag and Bilateral ureteric stent.

Derek is determined not to lose his mobility but is susceptible to falls. Derek doesn’t want to be dependant on his wife but needs someone near him in case he falls.

Derek was provided a Essence base unit and EPA falls detector to allow him to raise an alarm in case he has a fall.

His wife can now go shopping and leave him with the capability to raise an alarm if he had a fall.

Ms Powell, 50-year-old, and has a number of medical conditions including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA), black outs, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Depression.

Ms Powell is on a number of medications and has forgotten to take some several times.

Ms Powell was given Pivotel medication dispenser to remind her to take her medication on time.

Ms Powell is no longer experiencing low moods as frequently as she used to, as the Pill dispenser is reminding her to take her medication.

Deborah, 90-year-old, lives alone and has a diagnosis of dementia, arthritis and has had previous cardiovascular attacks.

Deborah has no formal care but a supportive daughter.  Deborah has lost confidence in accessing community due to falls and her daughter was worried her mum would fall whilst out as she couldn’t use a mobile.

Deborah was given an AnywhereCare footprint linked to Provide’s monitoring and response centre. The device detects falls and allows her daughter, via a portal to track her mum's activity and contact her via the device.

Deborah is now able to maintain her independence, give her daughter peace of mind and her daughter only gets alerted through Provide when there is a real need.
