US-based health technology company Royal Philips has launched Philips Cares. The new initiative helps family caregivers offer care for their aging loved ones by leveraging digital technology.
It enables people to easily form and activate a care circle of trusted family and friends, access meaningful insights into their loved one’s wellbeing and receive notifications about care. It can also act as a personal alert service that can be managed digitally to connect with trained care specialists.
“Whether you’re on the aging journey yourself or caring for a loved one, we all want to have peace of mind around getting older,” said Ripley Martin, General Manager for Philips Aging & Caregiving. “Philips Cares eases and enriches the aging experience for caregivers and seniors by providing them with access to always-on, supportive relationships across a care circle, enabling them to refocus their attention on the key moments that matter most.”
