Philips Cares for Senior Living

How is CarePoint Essential different?

Traditional, on-premise e-call systems were never built to address today’s evolving community needs for better workflows, reporting and resource allocation. Essential was developed with this in mind. Built on the cloud, it’s a modern upgrade to your classic emergency call system designed to accept and integrate a variety of resident safety hardware, old and new, with data from both integrating into a seamless experience with powerful features that can help you provide better overall resident care.

Coming Soon! CarePoint with Alexa

An Entirely New Dimension in Resident Care

Introducing CarePoint Essential with Alexa voice. We’ve partnered with Amazon to integrate our newest resident safety system with the power of Alexa. Residents can now stay connected and socially engaged while also being able to verbally convey their needs. And staff can see the context of requests and triage more efficiently.

  • View resident requests with contextual info: From simple requests to more urgent calls for help, staff will receive keyworded alerts through desktop and mobile dashboards and respond accordingly.
  • Simple to use, and residents will know they’ve been heard: Residents get positive feedback from Alexa and verbal confirmation their request has been received.
  • Improved care and communication: Requests are just the beginning. Residents can access a variety of community information like menus, activities, medication schedules and contact lists.
  • Promote independence and reduce social isolation: Voice-enabled features can empower residents to take better control of their day and help them feel more connected through the friendly voice of Alexa.

CarePoint with Alexa opens up new opportunities for better care and happier residents.

CarePoint Essential Hardware Products

Wearable Devices

Fall Detection Pendant1

The Fall Detection Pendant by Inovonics automatically sends an alert to the CarePoint Essential system if a resident fall is detected. The lightweight, waterproof pendant can be assigned to residents, enabling them to signal for help from any location on campus that is covered by the system.

Fixed Alert Devices

Pull Cord

Pull cords are a vital part of the CarePoint Essential resident safety system. The pull cord is an ideal wireless solution for bathrooms, bedrooms, or any place where residents may need to alert staff – with a simple pull of the cord.

Outdoor Help Button

Outdoor Help Buttons are fixed help devices rated for use outdoor, which allows your community to cover walking paths and exterior community areas.

Help Button with Call Acknowledge

Most often used in common areas, the Help Button with Acknowledge allows the resident to press anywhere on the button for alert activation. The acknowledge button makes it simple to record when staff responds to a call.

Doorbell Annunciator

A doorbell annunciator can be used to notify staff members that someone is at the door. This can be especially useful for entrances that are locked, but not staffed at all times.

Smoke Detector

The wireless smoke detector features an onboard sounder, a smoke sensor, an LED indicator, and local test capability to allow for total visibility of its functionality. It is self-monitoring, alerting the community when sensor maintenance is needed, or batteries are low, and automatically supervising the radio link.

Check-In Devices

Activity Sensor

The Activity Sensor is designed for senior living environments that require daily activity notification. It’s fixed to a wall in the resident’s room and picks up a resident’s movement in the morning, and sends a signal to the CarePoint Essential system to provide a check-in for the day.

Check-in Button

The Check-in Button is fixed to a wall in the resident’s room. When a resident presses the check-in button, this active wireless device signals the central monitoring station – enabling reporting for residents who have – and haven’t yet – checked in.

Supported Network Devices

Repeater

The EN5040-20T high power repeater with transformer decodes and re-transmits signals from Inovonics transmitters, acting as a range extender for any Inovonics transmission that it hears.

IP Gateway

The Inovonics EN4080 IP Gateway is the connection between the CarePoint Essential network of repeaters and the CarePoint Cloud.

Failover Alert Redundancy Hardware (Optional)

Central Alarm Receiver (CAR)

The CAR plays a critical role in the CarePoint Essential failover alert redundancy system, in the unlikely event of an internet outage.

BlueHub Gateway

The BlueHub Gateway provides an access point to the CarePoint Essential resident safety system. In the event of a network outage, this allows caregivers to receive alerts through the backup paging system.

Pagers

Pagers can be configured to alarm with different audible notifications or set to vibrate to provide an unobtrusive alert notification. Alerts are easily seen on the LCD display, which displays four  lines of text, including alert information and any special notes which may be critical when providing care to residents.

Paging Transmitter

Paging transmitters send alerts to pagers to quickly dispatch messages to staff. Communities can customize the number of devices receiving alarms and create groups allowing messages to be directed to the appropriate team members across the community.
