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.Together, the companies will create a more complete continuum of connected safety by providing families and caregivers with greater awareness between emergencies while maintaining rapid, professional response when immediate assistance is required.“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.“Our vision for Caregiver is to make proactive wellness a natural extension of the connected safety services families already trust,” said Taj Manku, Co-founder and CEO of Cognitive Systems. “Becklar brings an established ecosystem of products, partners and professional response capabilities. Combining those strengths with our WiFi Sensing and Spatial Intelligence technology creates an opportunity to provide value not only when an emergency occurs, but throughout everyday life.”The combined offering is intended to support personal emergency response providers, health care and home care organizations, telecommunications companies and other service providers looking to expand their independent-living and connected-health offerings.Becklar and Cognitive will initially work with dealers, service providers, and partners to develop commercial models and customer experiences that make the combined capabilities straightforward and easily accessible to bring to market. Additional details regarding availability and initial commercial offerings will be announced as the partnership progresses.About Cognitive Systems Corp.is the pioneer of WiFi Sensing and Spatial Intelligence.
