BeClose is a small but interesting start-up in Tysons Corner, Virginia. They make home monitoring systems for the elderly, allowing them to stay at home even when they may be fragile or lack motility. The system consists of a number of motion sensors as well as a weight pad (to see when they’re sleeping) and a panic button that notifies the authorities and kin if there’s something wrong.The new update to the UI creates a dashboard experience for caregivers. They can see, at a glance, sleep patterns, movement, and even weight. If something is amiss - like they’re not getting out of bed after a certain time or whether they’re leaving the house too little or too much - you can either call in to see what’s up or go visit. Anyway, would it kill you to maybe go visit your mother? Hmm?
