200 sites equipped with Telegrafik technological solutions, what does this concretely bring to care and support professionals?

Just over a year ago, we were pleased to reach the symbolic figure of 100 sites equipped with Telegrafik solutions. Today, the number has doubled. In concrete terms, this means around 1,000 falls detected each month, 80,000 alerts sent each year, and nearly 500 professionals who log in to the Telegrafik extranet every day.

 

Thanks to connected solutions, it is now possible to offer home care to beneficiaries with reduced autonomy who would otherwise have to be institutionalized. With connected solutions, EHPAD staff are instantly informed of any falls or abnormal activity without intruding on residents’ privacy.

 

These technologies do not replace human care, but instead enable higher quality care with less stress and more compassion. Compassion is the DNA of the Telegrafik team, serving beneficiaries and their caregivers. So today, we are very proud of this figure of 200 equipped sites.

As the majority of French people age, they want to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. It would be ideal to be able to benefit at home from services equivalent to those offered in a nursing home. AÉSIOSanté and other FNMF (Fédération Nationale de la Mutualité Française) mutualist players are developing a reinforced home support system. At AESIO SANTÉ, this device is called DAPHNÉ. Its objective is to offer an alternative to the EHPAD by bringing security, comfort, well-being, care, accompaniment… to the homes of people wishing to remain at home. What exactly is it about?

Helping people with Alzheimer’s to stay at home

Maintenir à domicile les personnes souffrant d'alzheimerrEnabling people with Alzheimer’s disease to continue living in their own homes is a real challenge, particularly in the face of the issues that accompany this disease.

60% of people with Alzheimer’s live at home: for relatives, this is a major source of anxiety, hence the need for reassurance.
In the early stages of the disease, relatives are very involved, and their support helps to slow down the disease’s progression and optimises care.

What arrangements can be made to enable elderly people to remain safely at home?

90% of elderly people want to grow old at home, and this is a major challenge, as homes are often no longer suitable for elderly people who are losing their independence.

Keeping older people at home is a key factor in well-being and ageing well. Being able to maintain one’s lifestyle is an advantage for preserving mental health in elderly people, as Dr. Homehr of the Toulouse Teaching Hospital testifies: “As an EHPAD coordinating doctor, this is something I know very well. This morning I was doing an entry for a 92-year-old gentleman, who lived alone in his home, 6th floor with lift, and he had a stroke. His children were not exactly close by; it was getting complicated. He found himself institutionalised because of course he was afraid of walking and afraid of falling, and as soon as he came in, he said to me: “You know, Doctor, I was so happy at home! I’ve been living in retirement for 25 years, I had my little habits, I was comfortable at home. But I understood, I have to… ” He decided, he said to himself “I have to”. He’s got all his wits about him, he used to be a weather engineer.”

A new role for the EHPAD at home, the “Autonomy Advisor”

“In France, the EHPAD has been based on a very industrial model of organisation for the last forty or fifty years, and the human approach has been eroded over time. The aim is to put the individual back at the heart of the organisation, to break the industrial mould and organise the work to suit the person and not the other way round,” says Ladislas de Cours, whom we interviewed in his capacity as Director South, SGMR Les Opalines.
The home EHPAD is undergoing a major transformation, and the organisation and coordination of everyone involved must be embodied in structures. Through a call for projects, Ladislas de Cours is trying to create a new position in the home care sector, known as the Autonomy Advisor.

In 2060, loss of independence will affect 2.45 million people in France, compared to 1.6 million in 2030.

“The ageing of our population raises a […] challenge, […] namely that of old age, of dependence, a subject that makes us uncomfortable. Dependency is here to stay, and this new vulnerable age of life is taking hold”, said French President Emmanuel Macron in a speech to the Congress of the Mutualité Française in 2018.
