Essence SmartCare has partnered with Colchester City Council to enhance the county’s alarm service infrastructure using Essence SmartCare’s digital telecare solutions.

According to the partnership, residents of Colchester benefit from Essence SmartCare products, equipped with advanced connectivity to ensure a transition for the analogue to digital switchover.

Continuous monitoring

Colchester City Council was also provided with trial equipment, staff training and technical support to maintain the products helping seniors age in place safely.

The transition from analogue to digital telecommunications infrastructure in the UK was threatening the safety of approximately 1,700 Colchester seniors using analogue telecare systems.

Tasked with securing telecare availability for the city’s seniors, Colchester City Council selected Essence SmartCare to provide digital connectivity options to local seniors to ensure that their safety wouldn’t be compromised as technology shifts.

By equipping Colchester with an advanced digital alarm service, Essence SmartCare not only enabled the senior population to continue to live safely at home with continuous monitoring, but also provided an improved experience with personalized support and wider range of functionality than analogue systems.

An important transition

“Digital transformation has the potential to improve health care across the board; but it cannot leave our most vulnerable population behind,” said Karin Schifter-Maor, CEO of Essence SmartCare.

“As the digital switchover sweeps across the UK, Essence SmartCare is committed to ensuring seniors’ ability to stay safe and connected at all times.

“We are honoured to be part of this important transition, ensuring that every senior in the community has the reliable, personalized support they need to safely and confidently age in place.”
