Klagenfurt (OTS) – One third of all over 65-year-olds in Austria live alone at home and are therefore not only left to their own devices in everyday life, but also in emergency situations. Especially in times of crisis, such as the current coronavirus pandemic, the relatives of older people are constantly worried and on alert, especially as they are not allowed to visit their loved ones. This is precisely where the Austrian IT company ilogs in:
With the help of mobile devices and innovative software such as the JAMES TeleCare solution, ilogs enables both private individuals and care facilities to carry out online visits and professional care services via video - such as administering medication.
Since 2005, the IT company based in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee has been developing ilogs healthcare mobile telehealth software solutions.

Researching since 2012 ilogs Intensive in the environment Active Assisted Living (AAL). The result: The JAMES-TeleCare-solution for the online support of care recipients. Furthermore ilogs the company behind MOCCA ONEthe market-leading e-health software for professional care services.
Equipped with the smart software from ilogsoffers the JAMES Tablet a response to social isolation among senior citizens living alone. The device is proving to be an innovative solution strategy, particularly in non-routine situations - such as the current coronavirus crisis - where family visits or professional care on site are not possible.
Especially in the current situation of mandatory social distancing, social isolation and loneliness among older people is becoming a major problem. We know that social contact and care can be very well supported with systems such as the JAMES TeleCare solution.
The JAMES Tablet eliminates the risk of social isolation and offers a simple way of making video calls to relatives, especially for older people. In addition, other age-appropriate functions such as a call for help, reminders to take medication, simple Internet access or entertainment (games, news, weather, etc.) can be activated as required. The JAMES Tablet can also be used by professional organisations such as mobile home care or retirement and nursing homes.
The smart JAMES emergency watch was specially developed for the needs of older people: Many senior citizens go about their daily lives unaccompanied. This often leads to uncertainty when leaving the house and restricts their quality of life. The JAMES emergency watch enables autonomy and safety at the touch of a button: the specialised SmartWatch assists with everyday tasks, enables voice messages with family and friends and calls for help if necessary. As part of the JAMES-TeleCare-solution, it already supports thousands of older people worldwide.
