Disabled & Elderly

One of the most important conclusions we have drawn from our primary research on Disabled Persons, but also among elders, was that each case of disability or a special situation is truly unique. Based on the large number of devices in terms of type and functions, it is possible to design and implement systems tailored to the dedicated needs of each user.

So, based on the individualized study in depth of the needs of each case, we are able to create a system where:

• Improves the security of the user himself and his environment
• Makes it possible to control systems that would have been impossible without the system
• It develops the feeling of autonomy and self-service
• Contribute to smooth self-development (in the case of minors)
• It provides remote supervision and assistance when it is required
• Minimizes reaction time in abnormal conditions
• It increases the involvement of the house’s use

Our address to issues requiring specific knowledge, shall be always in cooperation with field's experts. Hence, we work with professionals who stand out for professional development in their field of expertise.
