Article contentArticle content
Today, mPERS solutions provide a critical connection to help when an emergency occurs, or an individual presses a button for assistance. Cognitive’s Caregiver solution adds another layer of awareness by using WiFi Sensing and Spatial Intelligence to understand patterns in everyday activity and identify meaningful changes from an individual’s normal routine.

Cognitive’s Caregiver solution can provide insights into activity, sleep, kitchen and bathroom routines, and changes in patterns over time without cameras or microphones and without requiring the individual to wear, charge or interact with another device.

“PERS providers have built trusted relationships with families by being there when help is needed most. We see an opportunity to extend that value beyond the emergency and provide families with greater reassurance every day,” said Brock Winzeler, President of Becklar Personal Health and Safety and Workforce Safety. “By combining Becklar’s monitoring and connected safety expertise with Cognitive’s Spatial Intelligence technology, we can help our dealers, service providers, and partners bring differentiated proactive wellness capabilities to the customers they serve.”

The approach is designed to complement, rather than replace, the PERS products and emergency response services subscribers already rely on. For Becklar dealers and partners, the partnership creates an opportunity to expand existing offerings with proactive wellness insights that can help families understand whether a loved one is up, moving and following their normal routine.
