I got some requests for examples of elderly care products that use LoRaWAN. Was not able to find them anywhere. Is anybody aware of the availability of these products?

Not quite the answer you want, but I ported an Electric Imp based Granny monitor to LoRaWAN just to prove a point. It worked perfectly and I was able to change settings in the sensor over LoRaWAN from a Web UI. We still actively use the solution to monitor my 84 yr old mother in-law and as do frie…

I have met Adri a few times on which he showed the progress on this project. Great to see that the market is interested and hope it will help people to stay at home longer and feel save in the process.

an interesting development is this : In Germany a big percentage of the homes have so called smart energy meters (like they are installing in NL to) They generate a lot of data So they offer now the possibility to ‘watch’ a home… they know what and how the average energy consumption is during the …
