Instead of having cameras that can be perceived by the elderly as an intrusion of their private life, the use of LoRa sensors which unlike WiFi guarantees wide coverage and reduced consumption, represents an indirect way to monitor habits, lifestyles and activities of the elderly in complete safety.

The Senior Safety® Smart Home Kit is able to connect different sensors and use different networks beyond the LoRa, for example to connect to the Internet if there is no LoRaWan coverage or to personal devices such as wearable bracelets.
