Hills Health Solutions has launched a new home monitoring system for older people that can track deviations from daily routines and potentially prevent adverse incidents, and is also now offering the world first silicon-based arthritis pendant it has developed for people with low manual dexterity to both the hospital and aged care sectors.

Hills signed an agreement with Israeli M2M firm Essence earlier this year for the Care@Home platform, which is able to monitor and intelligently analyse the daily habits and routines of older people living at home and predict and even prevent incidents before they are likely to occur.
