About People Power Care Assistant

Caregiving for people with dementia can be challenging and stressful. Silicon Valley technology company People Power and researchers at the University of California Berkeley have developed a system designed to improve the safety of persons with dementia and mild cognitive impairment, and to reduce the social isolation of their caregivers.

People Power Care Assistant learns daily activity patterns and can warn caregivers, family members and friends about incidents of concern with text alerts of potential hazards including falls, water leaks and wandering. The system is designed to work without making significant demands on a caregivers’ time and energy.

Receive mobile alerts if something appears to be wrong:
- Know if someone wandered away from home
- Know if they have likely experienced a fall
- Know if their bathroom visit frequency changes

Track the current activities of occupants:
- Know if and when the front door opened
- Know which room in the home an occupant visited
- Know when medication was accessed

Better understand rest and sleep patterns:
- Know what time they went to bed and got up
- Know if someone leaves the bedroom at night
- Track sleep history and quality for improved health insights

Enable support from family and friends:
- Add specific people to receive alerts
- Create and delegate helpful tasks to others
- Coordinate family and friends to stay in contact

Improve safety at home:
- Call for help with the wirelessly connected button
- Help prevent falls at night with nightlights
- Know immediately of a water leak or clogged toilet
