So how does Vox ICE work?
Vox ICE runs movement data captured by the sensors through a deep learning engine that builds trends and events around the older person living on their own. Once an event outside the norm takes place, such as a fall or not locking the back door after a certain amount of time, an alert is sent to a predefined list of emergency contacts. This can either be the next of kin, a neighbour, a caregiver, a control centre (in the case of a frail care facility), or even an emergency response.
While technology will never be a replacement for personal caregiving, Vox ICE provides caregivers with remote access to their loved ones, allowing them to react timeously should an unfortunate incident occur.

Vox ICE runs movement data captured by the sensors through a deep-learning engine that builds trends and events around the older person living on their own. Once an event outside the norm takes place — for example a fall or not locking the back door after a certain amount of time — an alert is sent to a predefined list of emergency contacts. This can be the next of kin, a neighbour, a caregiver, a control centre (in the case of a frail care facility), or even an emergency response.
While technology will never be a replacement for personal caregiving, Vox ICE provides caregivers access to the daily lives of their loved ones, allowing them to react timeously should an unfortunate incident occur.
