Don't let the future wait any longer.
Terms such as digitizationand innovative technologies are now firmly embedded in our consciousness. However, not only our vocabulary is changing, but also our immediate environment.

As an intelligent emergency call system, JAMES can be integrated effortlessly into the everyday lives of older people and its components offer a range of life-enhancing functions. Consequently, nothing stands in the way of “moving in” to your own smarthome and, associated with that, into the digital age.
