Designed by Caring People to Truly Care for People
Hearo is more than sensors, software, and devices. It’s a whole ecosystem that merges the latest smart home technology with people-first support and care.
Common Conditions, Scenarios, and Outcomes
No two individuals’ needs are exactly the same. Hearo devices can be configured and customized to help support a wide range of situations.
Anxiety and Depression
Various devices monitor for telltale signs of an individual experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression: pacing, out of bed late at night, increased heart rate, etc. Additionally, the emotional status setting on the tablet lets the person quickly describe their mood and allows staff to communicate in a variety of ways including voice call, video call, or text message. Videos can also be used to teach self-regulation skills.
Individuals in the Hearo ecosystem are never alone. They’re always a tap away from talking with loved ones as well as their direct support providers. Reminders can also help them build routines around checking in and discussing how they’re doing.
Part of an individual’s freedom is the safety to be outside their home and confidently find their way to work, friends’ homes, or anywhere else they need to go. The Hearo watch allows the caregiver circle to communicate directions via two-way communication by using GPS and geofencing and confirm they’ve gotten where they need to be safely.
A major benefit of Hearo is helping individuals thrive — not simply survive. Various devices can provide feedback when a person has showered (or not), used the oven (or left it on), and many other crucial daily tasks. Reminders on the tablet can also provide a gentle nudge to take care of daily tasks with images and videos for visual prompting. Lights can be used as visual prompts to reinforce skill-building routines as each reminder can be linked to a different color the light displays.
Supporting individuals in understanding safe and unsafe behaviors is at the heart of the Hearo ecosystem. Rather than simply monitoring, these devices create meaningful teaching moments by gently alerting caregivers and individuals alike so that every situation becomes an opportunity to reinforce safe decision-making. With customizable sensitivity levels and flexible settings, Hearo can be tailored to meet each person's unique needs and support their growing independence.
When a fall occurs, different devices can immediately notify an individual’s care circle, however, preventing falls can be just as important. For example, the bed occupancy mat can be programmed to work with Hearo custom lights to avoid further safety concerns when an individual gets out of bed in the middle of the night. When an individual gets out of bed, Hearo lights can illuminate a path . When they return to bed, the lights will go off automatically. Lights can also be programmed to change brightness or colors to allow individuals to find their way safely.
Planning for worst-case scenarios is always wise, and Hearo offers multiple ways to alert an individual’s circle of care in the event of an emergency. Automatic, immediate actions can be programmed into every home’s system in advance, so you can rest assured that crucial safety is always in place.
Many health conditions can be indicated by a person’s heart rate. Thankfully, the Hearo watch is perfectly suited to monitor this important input. When a heart rate dips or climbs beyond certain thresholds, various alerts and alarms can be initiated, ranging from alerting support staff to calling first responders.
The creativity of the Hearo team paired with the vast customization options of our devices mean that even those with visual impairments can live safely and independently. Text-to-speech settings on the tablet and programmable, tactile switches make everyday tasks manageable to ensure even those with visual impairments still have the opportunity to live safely and independently.
Hearo devices help translate audio cues and stimuli into visual and physical alerts that allow individuals with hearing impairments to live freer, safer lives while also reducing anxiety. The broad range of lamp alert colors as well as the bed shaker are assigned to various actions and triggers — fully customizable to every situation.
Seizures can be a terrifying reality for individuals and families, but with the support provided by Hearo devices, they can be managed and tracked. When a seizure occurs, support can immediately be notified, and the individual can be communicated with to ensure their safety and determine needed followup.
There are several ways to help individuals take their medications on time. The med dispenser can be paired with the lamp to signal med times with color changes. The visual reminders stay illuminated until medications are physically administered. Additionally, daily notifications on the tablet also help keep schedules on track.
In addition to direct support providers, guardians, family members, and others close to the individual can access real-time status and information from Hearo devices.
The Hearo Dashboard delivers powerful insights that are easily accessible as customizable reports. Case managers are able to see all triggers during a given time period and filter results to find the information they need to improve individuals’ outcomes and track ISP goals.
Hearo augments dignity.
