Silver Economy: Study “Ageing well in Retirement Homes and at Home -Which innovative technologies for what added value? ”

This study highlights the added value provided by technological solutions for both professionals and families, and underlines their complementarity with the human support already available to elderly people. 83% of elderly people report feeling more reassured. The loved ones gain peace of mind on a daily basis.

The study covered 3 years of practical study and a representative sample of beneficiaries spread throughout France. It provides concrete and enlightening feedback for those involved in the process of ageing well.

“The objective is to provide elements of answers to the major societal challenge of ageing: How can we better support elderly people throughout their ageing process and support professionals in the sector in their work, using innovative technologies ?” , explains Carole Zisa-Garat, President of Telegrafik.

This document summarises the issues specific to the ageing of elderly people, reviews the current technological solutions also discusses the adoption of these schemes by the beneficiaries and their families.

Telegrafik: solutions to overcome the isolation of the elderly during quarantine, at home and in nursing homes (Ehpad)

Based on artificial intelligence, the Otono-me solutions for private homes and residential institutions for elderly dependent people (Ehpad), i.e. Nursing homes, help to overcome the isolation of the elderly during quarantine and to take over from caregivers.

In the current crisis, Telegrafik chooses to offer the Otono-me box to its new customers. The start-up has just announced that they have fund raised a 1 million euros to speed up its development. Telegrafik ensures the continuity of its services to install new devices at its customers’ premises, while respecting barrier gestures.

Otono-me: break the isolation at home and participate in taking over from the care staff in nursing homes

Our Otono-me system is proving to be a real alternative at a time where people are even more isolated than usual and where the amount of staff in healthcare institutions is often reduced.” , says Carole Zisa-Garat, founder of Telegrafik. “They allow us to watch over dependent people from a distance. 

Based on advanced algorithms, the Otono-me device installed in the living area allows the detection of any anomaly which reassures the family and sends alerts when intervention is necessary. A solution that, among other things, fosters support for elderly people at home, in the current context of nursing homes often finding themselves in a fragile state.

In the same way, Otono-me Edao is proving to be a real support for health care personnel in health care institutions. The solution alerts teams in the event of a problem and brings them some comfort and respite. “We are currently working on the detection of rapid changes in behaviour that can be induced by pathologies such as COVID-19. The studies are not complete yet but they look promising.” 

Strict measures to equip people at home or in care homes during Covid-19

To avoid taking any risks and to respect the health regulations in force, Telegrafik has strengthened its measures to be able to remotely equip homes or care homes.

In people’s homes, we have implemented strict procedures to set up our solutions, without coming into contact with dependent people.” , says Carole Zisa-Garat. In order to eliminate contact, gloves, masks, hydro-alcoholic gel and isolated intervention are all used when attending to occupants within the household.

In terms of care homes, Telegrafik relies on existing personnel for the installation of sensors. “We leave the equipment on the steps of the establishments and then guide the teams how to set it up, remotely of course” explains Carole Zisa-Garat.

Free services in several French departments

In several departments of France, Telegrafik participates in projects aimed at making its solutions available to the elderly free of charge, with a view to making its services accessible to as many people as possible. This is currently the case in Haute-Garonne and Seine-Saint-Denis. Families interested in the project can contact the Telegrafik teams directly.

To date, 4,000 people have benefited from Telegrafik solutions in France and Europe.

Telegrafik and Vivago combine their innovations to more effectively protect nursing home residents

Vivago and Telegrafik are combining their connected monitoring and automatic fall detection solutions to more effectively protect nursing home residents and immediately inform nursing staff. The benefits of this complete and innovative device for nursing homes are confirmed after installation in a second establishment.

The watch created by VIVAGO and Otono-me Nursing Homes EDAO: a complete solution for protecting the elderly in nursing homes

After the success of the first interconnected solution in 2016, a second establishment was equipped in early 2019.

The combination of the two technologies improves the safety of residents and the working comfort of nursing staff,” says Carole Zisa-Garat, CEO of Telegrafik.

 

How do these solutions protect nursing home residents?

The VIVAGO watch provides doctors and nurses with 24-hour traceability of all nursing home residents. In addition, this ergonomic and waterproof watch with its artificial intelligence module allows both manual calls by residents and automatic alarms in case of hazardous situations, as well as making it possible to permanently measure the resident’s physiological activity and observe the quality of their sleep using a dashboard.

The Otono-me Nursing Homes EDAO solution is based on a video monitoring device installed in the residents’ rooms. In the event of a potential risk, Telegrafik visually analyses the situation and nursing staff are then informed of the case requiring intervention. It is the only solution validated by a Hospital Programme for Clinical Research: “The device makes it possible to reduce the incidence of serious falls by 15% and reduce the incurred costs by 47.9%,” says Prof. Dantoine of the Limoges University Hospital.

Until now, Telegrafik has evolved by providing its’ Otono-me service in the heavily regulated telecare market, making everyday life safer for the elderly as they lose their independence.  The company announces the launch of two new products during the Mobile World Congress 2019, bringing Otono-me to the General Public. 

Telegrafik enters smart home market

otono-me one

During the Mobile World Congress, held in Barcelona from 25th to 28th February, Telegrafik announce the launch of Otono-me One and Otono-me Five, establishing their entry into the General Public smart home market.

Carole Zisa-Garat, founder of the young start-up, has a clear goal: “To offer a more accessible service, allowing the maximum number of people to look after relatives experiencing a loss of independence. 

Indeed, until now the Otono-me home telecare option was aimed exclusively at the telecare market. However, these two new packages Otono-me One and Otono-me Five are now readily available to the General Public through care workers.

Increasingly, insurance companies want to offer high added value services for families, and the Otono-me One and Five allow this” adds Carole Zisa-Garat.

 

What exactly are Otono-me One and Otono-me Five ?

Otono-me One and Otono-me Five allow users to monitor relatives, through a dedicated application, and be alerted of a potential risk situation (ex: a fall or sickness). The service uses data transmitted from a sensor system installed in the house and artificial intelligence developed by Telegrafik.

Press release: 8 January 2019

Launched in 2015, the 3Pegase consortium,  grouping together 6 industrial entities, has been working on the development of a system to prevent the loss of autonomy and to provide a follow-up service for frail elderly people.

Today, 3years after its launch,3Pegase signals the end of its project, issuing a very positive initial assessment which points to a larger-scale clinical study being conducted.

It was at the initiative of Telegrafik, a company specialising in home-support connected services for frail persons and in patient telemonitoring, that this project was created.

One objective: to provide frail elderly persons with a secure environment and to be able to monitor them more efficiently when they returned home after a period of hospitalisation.

3Pegase: anticipating the recurrent problem issues facing senior patients

It was in the context of the Easy  Novcall for projects with the Midi-Pyrénées Regional Council, that the Gerontology Unit at the Toulouse University Hospital,the Toulouse IT Research Institute, Orange, Telegrafik, Telemedicine Technologies and Serena joined forces within aconsortium to implement the 3Pegase project (Predictive Platformfor Elderly People and Assistance). Its main aim was to propose a monitoring solution for patients at home. By implementing a data collection platform and a remote assistance service to coordinate interventions. Besides, it was based primarily on systems involving sensors and predictive analysis technologies developed by Telegrafik. 3Pegase worked on anticipating the recurrent problem issues facing senior patients, such as falls or under nutrition. The surveys and follow-up of patients within the 3Pegase framework have been carried out at 3 levels, monitoring:
– cognitive autonomy
– functional autonomy (mobility, sleep, body care, pace of domestic life, living in private accommodation, …)
– the patient’s nutrition

A positive assessment and good future prospects

So, three years after the launch, the members of the consortium confirm the end of this 3Pegase project. Assessment of the consortium: initial results promising, with the ambition of a wider roll-out.

For Doctor Piau, gerontologist at the Toulouse Gerontology Unit:“For the Toulouse Gerontology Unit, this project has been one of the most successful “technological” projects conducted inrecent years. The solution has been very well accepted by the patients who have felt secure. The project has succeeded in proving the reliability of the end-to-end platform implemented. From the processing of data from sensors in the home through to the teleassistance service. The success of this clinical study means that, in the coming months, we can now expect a more substantial cohort (in terms of the number of patients included and the duration of the project) so as to demonstrate the medico-economic relevance of the system.”

In a global context of ageing population and to deal with the problem of loss of autonomy for senior citizens, the 3Pegase project highlights a real challenge for healthcare policies.

Newflash: 10 December 2018

Telegrafik announces its collaboration with Telemedicine Technologies SA, a collaborative software publisher in e-Health and leader in the field of Clinical Research.

After a successful first collaboration as part of the 3PEGASE project to monitor vulnerable elderly people living at home and prevent their loss of independence, Telemedicine Technologies and Telegrafik are sealing their partnership.

Telegrafik’s intelligent sensor data analysis platform is now linked to Telemedicine Technologies’ CleanWEB solution and integrates the TECH-Alliance.

Through this partnership, Telegrafik can make its cutting-edge data processing and algorithmic expertise available to Clinical Research via the CleanWEB platform.

“Our Otono-me service allows families to watch over their vulnerable loved ones from a distance. It made sense to offer these same technologies to laboratories which, as part of clinical research projects, wish to monitor patients remotely. Thanks to Telegrafik, it is possible for them to monitor the constants of their patients in the months preceding a surgical operation!” says Carole Zisa-Garat, CEO of Telegrafik.

Press release: 17 October 2018

The telecare company Tavie launches Tavie Otono-me, a protection system adapted to lonely and frail people. This innovative remote assistance allows them to live as long as possible in their own homes, in complete security.

Tavie Otono-me, a new product serving the growth of Tavie

Along with the launch of this new product, Tavie, a French national company strongly anchored in the regions of Bordeaux and in the South of the Gironde, are hiring, and announced the signing of 2 new partnerships.

« Tavie Otono-me will contribute to the growth of our business by enabling us to meet the needs of families, who are increasingly on the look out for intelligent solutions capable of automatically detecting problems faced by frail family members», explains Julie Castet, president of Tavie.

The solution is of particular interest for people with memory impairments, or people with Alzheimer’s disease who will not think to use their emergency call medallion.

How the Tavie Otono-me remote assistance works

The innovative aspect of the Tavie Otono-me is centered around the automatic detection of unusual behaviors in a person’s daily routines. Thanks to the discreet sensors installed in the home of an elderly person, the activity data is collected and processed by Telegrafik. Tavie’s assistance platform, available 24/7, receives an alert from Telegrafik if any problem occurs.

Learn more about the service in images here

In addition to this, the relatives of these frailer people can download the Tavie Otono-me app and be reassured on a daily basis.

Tavie Otono-me is available on Tavie’s website in the form of a monthly subscription. The Tavie Otono-me service is eligible for the “crédit d’impôt services à la personne” (a home-care service tax credit) of 50%.

 

About Tavie

For over 10 years, Tavie has offered remote assistance solutions tailored to every lifestyle. Initially settling in Gironde, in the South West of France, Tavie has rapidly developed on a national scale while maintaining a high quality service.

Its simultaneous anchoring in the rurality of southern Gironde and the urban setting of central Paris makes Tavie an experimented home-care provider capable of adapting to any situation within and around the home of the frail person.

Tavie positions itself as an innovative pioneer: first with the key box, an innovation that is widely used nowadays among all stakeholders. But also with the most advanced technical solutions which have been rewarded with several calls for proposals made by the Caisse de retraite (pension fund) for the silver economy.

Tavie knows how to surround itself with partners who are specialists in their fields, and it is for this reason that it has chosen to select Telegrafik to establish its actimetric product.

Press release: 3 July 2018

The Otono-me service protected 100 seniors in the Aisne department in 2017, including this 80-year-old who was rescued last December: “It’s thanks to you that I’m still here, I wanted to say thank you!”
In 2018, a hundred more seniors will be able to safely continue living at home thanks to this innovation. The Onoto-me app also brings their loved ones peace of mind.

The Otono-me service responds effectively to the needs of elderly people and their loved ones

The service, tested in 2017, has been well received by 100 seniors and their families. In fact, 88% of elderly people feel safer, and 90% of their family caregivers feel more reassured thanks to Otono-me.

The service also complements the traditional call-based hotline, which is still not used frequently enough by elderly people: only 40% of those who took part in the project said they regularly wear their panic button or wristband.

During the project, the Otono-me service helped elderly people by automatically detecting unusual behaviour in their daily routines.

The Funding Conference of the Aisne Department, the project’s primary sponsor, wants to help a large number of elderly people live at home safely and for longer

In 2017, more than 70% of the participants wished to keep the Otono-me service and pay for a subscription.

Based on this observation, Telegrafik and its funders have decided to make the service sustainable by offering it at an affordable price to allow all elderly people in Aisne to benefit from it.

If you are interested in benefiting from the Otono-me service at a preferential rate, please contact Anne-Cécile at Telegrafik directly on: +33 (0)5 82 95 50 52 or by sending an email to anne-cecile.andre@telegrafik.eu.

Availability is limited to the first 100 applicants.

The ELAN Law (On the scalability of housing, development and digital technology) establishes the need for scalability and digital technology

Telegrafik and Vivalib combine their expertise to provide a package of services to meet these challenges and announce their partnership

 

This package of services allows living spaces designers and administrators to define how they wish to change their programmes on the one hand and supports them in the implementation of these developments on the other.

Scalable housing

The support offered by the two companies makes it possible to comply with the new accessibility standards required by law: 100% of new homes must be scalable, that is to say, largely accessible and with the potential to be made fully accessible by simple alteration to respond to disability, but also loss of autonomy or ageing.

And a digital approach to benefit residents

Thanks to the Telegrafik platform, this is an integrative access point for the digital applications of residents, flats, buildings and services offered there.

The added value of the Telegrafik approach is the communication between these different entities, as well as allowing for scalable services in the future, supporting the needs of the resident over time.

 

“In practice, our platform retrieves data from residents by home automation systems or animation software within the residence: they are then gathered in a single portal, allowing the administrator to oversee life within a residence, receive alerts or recommendations, and ultimately improve the quality of life of for residents and its operations,” says Carole Zisa-Garat, Telegrafik CEO.

 

For comprehensive support, from building design to operation:

For support to be provided in an ethical and responsible way, and while technology is becoming more and more important, Muriel Dunoyer, President of VIVALIB, wants to ensure that the focus is on meeting the real needs and expectations of the elderly beneficiaries:

 

“At all times, equipment/products/solutions must serve the legitimate aspiration to maintain meaningful activities, maintain decision-making autonomy, maintain a person’s sense of their own value, and explore real life projects based on places that are meaningful and evolving, where digital technology plays its full role as a societal integrator. For VIVALIB as for its partners, respecting this stance is a prerequisite.” 

 

It is in this way that multiple projects already combining scalability and digital technology have been developed: intergenerational residences with a services ecosystem and neighbourhood concierge services, scalable and connected senior residences, energy restructuring with conversion of buildings or offices into scalable housing, creation of e-health connected residences supporting the sustainable autonomy a department’s seniors, integration of a Silver Economy smart-grid ready dimension in the

 

The market is crowded with various start-ups, manufacturers or service providers.

How do you know what to choose?

This is the purpose of this new offer: to help residential designers to combine, in a reasoned and financially accessible way, what can be useful for their strategic and qualitative positioning, by mobilising and combining the most appropriate for the sustainable service of regions, housing industry players and elderly beneficiaries.

Funding Conference in the Ariège department chooses local players to protect its seniors


As part of a call for projects, the Funding Conference of the Ariège department has chosen Occitania-based company Telegrafik and its innovative teleassistance service, Otono-me. The goal? To offer 30 elderly people aged 60 and over, living alone at their homes in Ariège, to test the Otono-me service for 8 months free of charge. 

The association of local experts for preventing loss of autonomy and promoting home care in Occitania

The service will be offered in collaboration with “Le Cantou”, an association offering services to individuals based in Tarascon sur Ariège. Much more reassuring than conventional emergency call devices, this new generation teleassistance provides day and night protection for the elderly and peace of mind for their families.

“The service is for families with a loved one who is losing their independence. This family member lives at home as usual, they are safe, and their relatives are reassured. If one day they encounter a problem, an alert is sent automatically. And if the family worries because their loved one does not answer the phone, they can simply log in to their smartphone app and find out if everything is alright,” says Pierre Thos, project manager at Telegrafik. Our ambition? To enable older people to live safely at home for longer and give them delay going into a nursing home.

The Ariège Funding Conference supports local project, Otono-me

At the end of 2017, the Funding Conference of the Ariège department launched a call for projects for measures to prevent and reduce loss of autonomy for the elderly. This subsidised project will contribute to improving the quality of life for senior citizens in the area. As part of this initiative, vulnerable people are being asked to participate by testing the service free of charge for 8 months at home.

“This project is part of our association’s core actions: to provide the necessary support for the elderly in our region to develop with them a project to improve their everyday lives and commit to working with respect for their lifestyles of those of their families. says Elodie Privat, director of the “Le Cantou” association.

Press release: 9 April 2018

An innovative solution that promotes support within the home for vulnerable people, ensuring their complete safety

 

Sophia Antipolis based company, Allovie, and its partner Telegrafik are launching Allovie Otono-me, which aims to reinforce the autonomy of ageing persons in the home. This new remote assistance solution, based on motion detectors installed in the home, allows for increased safety of vulnerable people who live alone, while also keeping them in touch with their loved ones.

Allovie Otono-me brings together the expertise from two areas: remote assistance and data analysis

Allovie specialises in remote assistance all over France and, for over ten years, has been a supplier of a solution, which includes a watch and a pendant allowing the detection of a variety of dangerous situations at an ageing person’s home, triggering an alarm if needed. The person is put in touch with an operator 24/7 should they suffer a dizzy spell, an accident, a fall, or simply because they need to talk to someone or be reassured.

Telegrafik, on the other hand, is an innovative enterprise that provides online activity monitoring services for families, who have a loved one living at home alone. “Our artificial intelligence can detect the moments when a vulnerable, ageing, or impaired person is in need of additional assistance.“ explains Carole Zisa-Garat, founder of Telegrafik.

Thanks to this new partnership, the  Allovie Otono-me service will be completing the Allovie remote assistance systems range to improve home living conditions, and reassure families.

Allovie and Telegrafik are convinced that remote assistance is a viable alternative, which allows seniors to remain in their home for as long as possible.

Allovie Otono-me service operation

The Allovie Otono-me service is based on discrete detectors, which are installed in the elderly person’s home. These detectors allow the person’s daily routines to be recorded and analysed, which then allows unusual activity to be detected. In this event, alerts are automatically generated at Allovie’s help desk, which operates 24/7. See an illustrated description of the service here

This solution increases the elderly person’s safety because an alert is triggered automatically, without the need for the SOS button to be pressed on the person’s pendant or watch. Allovie Otono-me can also be employed for people who have cognitive difficulties, such as those suffering from Alzheimer’s, who have little or no ability to voluntarily press the SOS button if a problem arises.

For helpers or loved ones, the dedicated Allovie Otono-me app brings a range of information on the elderly person’s pace of life (wake up time, time spent in each room, absence from home, personalised notifications linked to the elderly person’s habits, etc…).

This all-in-1 Allovie Otono-me solution is available now by monthly subscription.

Allovie is a recognised care service provider since 2008, which allows the recipient to benefit from a potential 50% tax credit on their income declaration.

Over 20 operators are in contact with service recipients and their loved ones in the event of a dizzy spell, an accident, a fall, or simply because the person needs to talk or be reassured. With a wealth of experience built over many years in this field, Allovie services 7000 subscribers, testifying to their savoir-faire and competence.

Funding Conference in the Hauts-de-Seine department chooses Otono-me to protect its seniors

 

As part of a call for projects, the Funding Conference of the Hauts-de-Seine department has chosen Telegrafik, a company specialising in data analysis for the best home care, to offer 100 elderly people of at least 60 years of age, living alone at their homes in Hauts-de-Seine, to test the Otono-me service for 9 months free of charge.

Combining safety and enrichment of social ties thanks to Otono-me, the next generation telecare service

“This project will allow 100 people and their families to benefit from Otono-me, a much safer service than the classic wearable call buttons. If you are interested in taking part in the project free of charge, please contact us!” says Carole Zisa-Garat, CEO of Telegrafik.

The service will include 24/7 availability of the Securitas Telecare professional monitoring platform, the installation of discrete non-intrusive sensors at home and a mobile app.

“With the app, families can connect from their phone or computer. They see at a glance if all is well with their loved one, and have the opportunity to customise their service, and receive notifications by text message. Thanks to Otono-me, the elderly person can carry on living as normal, he/she is safer and his/her family and friends are reassured,” says Pierre Thos, Project Manager at Telegrafik.

The Hauts-de-Seine Funding Conference supports Otono-me

In the middle of the year, the Funding Conference of the Hauts-de-Seine department launched a call for projects for measures to prevent and reduce loss of autonomy for the elderly. The project proposed by Telegrafik with its partners BNP Paribas and Securitas Telecare has been selected, and its funding will contribute to improving the quality of life of local senior citizens. As part of this initiative, vulnerable people are being asked to participate by testing the service free of charge for 9 months at home.

If you are interested in participating in this project and wish to benefit from this innovative solution free of charge, please contact Anne-Cécile at Telegrafik directly on: +33 05 82 95 50 52 or by sending an email to anne-cecile.andre@telegrafik.eu before 31 January 2018.

Active Tranquillity, improved home safety for vulnerable people while staying in touch with their loved ones

Securitas and Telegrafik have decided to combine their expertise in the areas of telecare and actimetrics to launch Active Tranquillity, a comprehensive service for vulnerable people living alone at home to stay safe, while keeping in touch with their loved ones.

Active Tranquillity, 24/7 protection for vulnerable people at home

“Active Tranquillity aims to protect elderly people living alone at home more effectively than with an emergency call button alone” says Thibault Urcun, Customer Services Representative for Securitas Telecare, the Securitas Group’s business area specialising in care solutions for isolated people.

Securitas Téléassistance

Securitas is an international player in the field of remote monitoring and the leader in private security in France. With this recognised expertise, Securitas Telecare was created in 2013 to specialise in the protection of isolated people and manage all types of alerts 24/7 (fall, isolation, discomfort, vertigo, anxiety attack, technical malfunction of equipment, etc.) Securitas Telecare has decided to enhance its service offering for the elderly by partnering with Telegrafik, the expert in the detection of anomalies in an elderly person’s activity. Thus the Securitas Active Tranquillity service was born.

 

The elderly person’s loved ones can also download a smartphone app:

Family and friends can quickly make sure that all is well and set up personalised notifications to detect when their loved one needs more support. Active Tranquillity already gives almost 300 people peace of mind on a daily basis, and I am delighted that we are now making this service available throughout France in partnership with Securitas Telecare,” says Carole Zisa-Garat, Founder of Telegrafik.

In Europe, nearly 30 million people over the age of 65 live alone: it is in this context that since 2013, Telegrafik has been working to offer safe solutions, based on the latest Internet technologies available.

On the border of the Internet of Things and the Silver Economy, Telegrafik offers connected services for the care of vulnerable people at home and remote monitoring of patients. The start-up has received numerous awards and was the winner of BPI France’s Digital Innovation Competition in 2017.

Every carer has peace of mind, thanks to useful information provided by the service, and the ability to personalise their notifications.

Press release: 30th Jan. 2017

Telegrafik speeds up its growth, raises 1 million Euros

The startup will focus on expanding sales of its innovative solutions that help the elderly keep living safely in their homes.

Telegrafik, a French Artificial Intelligence and Big Data startup based in Toulouse, just raised 1 million Euros to expand sales of Otono-me, an innovative telecare service.

The €1m deal was led by the societally sensitive funds Citizen Capital, Aviva Impact Investing France (managed by “le Comptoir de l’Innovation”), the financing cooperative “Initiatives pour une Economie Solidaire”, as well as the “Business Angels des Grandes Écoles” network, the Financière de Blacailloux family office, individual Business Angels and BPI France Financement.

 

The goal: addressing the ageing population in developed countries

In 2015, Telegrafik launched Otono-me, a service that revolutionizes the telecare industry.

« Until now, solutions to protect the elderly in their homes were limited to emergency call buttons. We can now offer new solutions to provide increased security for the elderly. We are using the latest technologies to better protect the elderly, while reassuring their close relatives. », explains Telegrafik’s CEO, Carole Zisa-Garat.

How does Otono-me work?

Connected sensors are strategically located in the elderly’s home. If the elderly’s activity is abnormal, a 24/7 hotline is automatically notified. The hotline will then contact the elderly to assess the problem, and dispatch an emergency team if needed. A smartphone app also enables close relatives to discreetly check in: this allows them to make sure everything is alright, without intruding.

Otono-me widens the ageing and telecare industries offers.

At the core of Otono-me is Telegrafik’s artificial intelligence. Sensors’ data are collected and analyzed in real-time by the AI algorithms.

 

Telegrafik speeds up its growth, sets ambitious goals

Telegrafik team wants its offerings to be distributed widely by 2020. They will also keep designing new solutions to help the elderly and their caregivers, both family and professionals, and to address the e-health and care markets.

Telegrafik’s people are passionate about new technologies, and work hand in hand with a large network of experts and partners. Telegrafik plans to double its headcount in the next coming 2 years.
