About the Client

A Nordic IT/Telecom company specializing in app and mobile telephony technology and developing new services for increasing the welfare of elderly people, people with dementia and cognitive disabilities, especially during their rehabilitation or long/short term staying in nursing homes or care facilities.

Objective

To increase the safety of users being engaged in extreme outdoor activities or to ensure the safety of employees in high-risk environments.

Solution

• GPS alarms/mobile safety alarms are designed to provide increased the safety of users and their families. With the help of GPS alarms with a build-in alarm button a user can quickly and easily communicate his position to the care staff or relatives (so-called close persons). Via the mobile network, the device sends a message with the user's position to a website, a mobile app or to a close person device;
• The IoT platform is designed to gather the data from GPS devices and other tracking sensors. These devices can be simple GPS devices, or smart watches, or sensors and other products. Through this platform, a close person can track the location of a device/sensor and thus track the loaction of its user;
• Medication reminders are used to notify a user or their selected close persons about taking medication. The medication reminders are equipped with a built-in mobile phone module to alert a user via SMS when it's time to take a medication.

Result

Altabel's dev team helped the client to further develop and maintain the operating systems for the GPS alarms and the primary system, to support the communication between the IoT devices and the IoT platform, and to build server-to-server integrations with alarm centers and other partners, including integrations for identity and authorization.
