InteliCare uses sensors to gather information and monitor movements around the home, alerting carers or family members if behaviours are out of sync. The package comes with a monthly subscription for accessing the app, which can be funded under a client’s Home Care Package (HCP) or NDIS plan.

“That same bubble of people is moving from retirement ageing and we need to think about how we need to look after them.”
