Caring For Seniors
pomGuard transcends currently available Panic Buttons, Medical Alert Pendants, Activity of Daily Living Monitors, Medication Reminder Services and Cell phone based text messaging — by combining these functions intelligently into a simple $399 device with $10 in monthly service fees.
Panic Buttons/Medical Alert Pendants
Fear of fall related debilitating injuries and the resulting loss
of independence is a major worry among Seniors and their Caregivers —
an issue addressed by Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) and services.
However studies have shown that in 4 out of 5 falls, Seniors do not activate Panic Buttons.
pomGuard intelligently combines PERS capabilities with Activity Monitoring to
overcome Seniors potential inability to activate panic buttons.
Analysts classify services from companies like LifeAlert,
Rescue Alert, LifeLine, ADT Companion Care, Medical Alert
etc. as PERS systems and they can cost around $30/month.

Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Monitors
A number of motion, sound, door sensor based systems are
available in the market today that report on a Seniors Activity
during Daily Living using text messages or a web interface, from
companies like QuietCare,GrandCare etc.
Some of these sophisticated systems are sold by installers and
cost $1000+ in initial equipment and installation charges with
monthly charges of over $100/month plus broadband communications charges.
pomGuard has created unique self installable activity sensors that can be placed around the home.

Medication Reminder Services
Studies show that only 50-60 percent of patients follow their
prescribed medicines regimen. Medication non-adherence
accounts for 10 percent of hospital admissions.
Telephone call based Medication Reminder Services from
companies like MedicalReminder.com and Angel Telecare can
cost between $15 and $20/month.
pomGuard has a built-in Medication and Appointment reminder system.

Text Messaging
Texting is rapidly becoming a preferred means of communicating
with the on-the-go sandwich generation caregivers. Seniors find
texting difficult due to the design of most common cellphones —
thus being left out of the new revolution in Social Networking.
pomGuard with its simple large touch screen keyboard facilitates Seniors
to send/receive text messages easily allowing them to remain socially connected
with their support circle — a very important part of their well being.
