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. The current trend of transforming one’s own home into an everyday-supporting smarthome with intelligent assistance systems – such as Amazon’s Alexa – is already widespread among younger generations and is now gradually reaching older groups of people as well.
Although many seniors are still skeptical about innovative technologies, smart assistance systems can make life at home easier, more comfortable and, above all, safer in the long term. 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.
