Theora Connect Wearable

Clairvoyant Networks, Inc., developer of award-winning technology for remote monitoring, announced that Sumter County Sheriff’s Office has chosen the Company’s Theora Connect™ cellular wearable as part of its new community program called Dementia Recovery, Education and Management (DREAM). The program, funded by a grant recently awarded to the Sheriff’s Office from the Bureau of Justice Administration (BJA), uses Theora Connect wristwatch style wearable to provide older adults more active independence while enabling families or professional caregivers to remotely monitor the wearer’s location, have automatic two-way communications, and be alerted if the wearer exits a safe area. Empowering family and caregivers to proactively diffuse potential wandering events supports the goals of the DREAM program: to enable older adults to live in their home of choice; promote peace of mind for their family or caregivers by knowing an individual’s location with the ability to communicate directly; and reduce the increasing number of wandering incidents requiring law enforcement assistance. The smartwatch-style wearable and monthly cellular service are provided free of charge to those participating in the program.
