Vox ICE: A technology solution for caring for the elderly

Loading player...
Rudi Potgieter, executive head of Guardian Eye at Vox, joins the podcast to talk about Vox ICE, a product which is saving lives through an innovative, low- cost technology solution.
The current global economic environment is pulling young workers away from their homes and leaving the elderly behind. Vox ICE is a solution to ensure they are not alone.
Vox ICE, or “in case of emergency”, takes care of your loved ones without being present, with the ultimate home care monitoring system, Potgieter explains in the podcast.
The solution comprises non-intrusive sensors and specialised algorithms to detect any abnormal behaviour for relatively healthy seniors living on their own.
The algorithm detects the person’s day-to-day behaviour over a period of time, establish their routine, and detect any abnormalities.
Potgieter explains how the ICE solution works – it requires little user setup, maintenance or management. It is built to service “born before computers” customers, giving their loved ones comfort that they are being looked after.
