‘Ingenious’ ambient sensing system launched
Glasgow-based technology firm, Archangel, has linked up with ‘global innovator’, Semtech, to deliver ‘an ingenious ambient sensing solution to address significant challenges facing health, care, and housing providers, and support the growing demand for more independent living and healthier homes’. Archangel explained: “With traditional
monitoring methods – like bracelets or lanyards – frequently rejected by people as symbolic of frailties and vulnerabilities, this strategic partnership delivers an unobtrusive, yet vigilant approach by utilising smart sensors to non-invasively build a picture of a person’s daily routines and living environment, and provide proactive alerts on potential risks to the property and health and wellbeing.” Semtech’s smart sensors, working with Archangel’s cloud-based platform, combine ‘to deliver a data-rich, ambient assisted living platform’. Richard Lansdowne, Semtech’s Senior
director of Cloud Services, said: “Our AirVantage smart sensing technologies complement Archangel’s holistic platform, and work together to deliver a highly resilient platform that empowers service- providers with over 1700 sensors to help monitor the property environment, energy use, telehealth, wellness, activities, and more.” Tom Morton, CEO of Archangel, added:
“This partnership with Semtech delivers a fully integrated lifeline that can alert the elderly end-user and interested parties,
including health and care professionals, and flag up potential issues before they become emergencies. “I am delighted with Semtech’s Smart Sensing solution, and it is precisely what Archangel needs as our care partners spearhead the UK challenge to switch over 1.8 million individuals from analogue reactive pendant solutions to digital ambient assisted living systems.” Founded in 1960 in California, Semtech
now operates across almost 40 nations worldwide, manufacturing smart sensing solutions and ‘other technical innovations’ suited to a wide range of applications. Archangel offers what is dubs ‘a unique, collaborative, and holistic ambient assisted living system approach that integrates digital and analogue technologies into one cloud-based data aggregation platform’.
