HomeTouch

Concept

The HomeTouch system is a service and with two linked components:
1) a tablet application for older people, with basic services including a care activity feed, messaging, calendar, photo album and innovative features like medication reminders and mood tracker
2) a web dashboard for carers with productivity tools such as arranging appointments and analytics tools to monitor medication compliance and mood changes

Later this year, HomeTouch will be launching a smartphone application for employed carers which will integrate with the platform and provide real time feedback to family caregivers about carer activity eg arrival time and activities performed.
