The KeepUs app has been developed to eliminate emergency pendants and monitoring systems that are tied to a specific location.

The application can be installed on an Android phone carried by the patient/elderly person.

Family and carers can then check on activity and location online and receive customised alerts on a phone, tablet or PC when a potential emergency situation arises.

"Conversely, if they are statistically as well as apparently healthy and active – so every day not just when someone is present – that could delay the time when more care is needed."

Commercial care institutions are already making use of the app in managed accommodation and care homes, while a free version is now available for private individuals for non-commercial use.
