Local authority care services are experiencing unprecedented funding, resource, and demand pressures. Technology must become part of the solution.
Thankfully, modern technology enabled care solutions offer interoperability and personalisation which are key tools that can be leveraged to improve the efficiency of care delivery to combat these key challenges. 2iC-Care's brand-new integration with Companion Watch, a cutting-edge wearable care technology, that promotes independence, safety, and reassurance delivers interoperability and personalisation.

Andi: Enabling Personalised Care
2iC-Care's award-winning digital TEC (Technology Enabled Care) solution Andi, manufactured by Sony UK Technology Centre, delivers intelligent reactive care and enables life-changing preventative care in one comprehensive platform. By integrating with Companion Watch, Andi’s ability to personalise care and remote monitoring, ensuring that individuals receive the support they need, when and where they need it increases.
Companion Watch: A Unique Wearable Care Technology
Cutting-Edge Fall Detection, Emergency Response and More
Packed with innovative features, yet familiar and simple to use, the Companion Watch is a unique, personalised, connected wearable care technology offering. Companion Watches are helping many people in the UK remain independent while providing remote patient wellbeing monitoring and support to family and their wider care network. With academic literature suggesting there could be as many as a million outdoor falls among older adults in England each year, wearable technologies like Companion Watch can play a vital role in fall detection and emergency response for this at-risk population.
Seamless Connectivity, Anywhere
Companion Watches work anywhere, in the home or out and about, using the UK's new innovative LTE-M telecommunication network. This means the Companion Watch stands alone, securely connecting people, carers, and the wider support network, even in an emergency, without the need for a base station, smartphone, landline, or Wi-Fi connection.
The Companion Watch can be worn in the bath or shower and has a dedicated SOS button which activates a 2-way voice conversation with the wearer’s support network, through the watch.
"Customers tell us they love their Companion Watch because it looks great, is discreet, and there's no wearable care tech like it on the market." - Mark Thomas, CEO.
Personalised Features for Evolving Needs
As champions of personalised care, 2iC-Care loved that the Companion Watch’s features are personalised to each wearer's needs, adapting as these change. Moreover, the watch can help a range of users, including reassurance for people discharged from hospital, supporting independence for active older people living alone and safety for people with cognitive impairments. No matter their need, customers have full control over their watch features, service settings, and wellbeing information, while health and safety alerts are cleverly delivered in a secure, timely manner to the wearer's support network, be it OTs, GPs, or family and relatives anywhere in the world, using Andi and additional Companion services.
Companion Watch and Andi are poised to redefine the future of connected care. To learn more about increasing independence, safety, and reassurance, speak to 2iC-Care team.
