Testimonial: "Thanks to bracelet Dcare, I feel reassured when I am home alone."

Danielle tells us how she has stayed in her home thanks to the Dcare solution that makes her feel safe every day.

As we age, we lose mobility and autonomy. At least 80% of the population will have to deal with this at some point. The solution to avoid serious incidents for isolated people is often to enter a nursing home. Danielle tells us in her testimonial how she stayed at home alone thanks to our Dcare solution, which reassures her and her son on a daily basis.

From the age of 65, the first signs of loss of mobility appear and are often accompanied by a loss of independence. This generates daily incidents with often serious consequences if they are not identified quickly. According to Educasanté, falls are the cause of 20% of violent deaths among Belgians over 65. However, more than 95% of seniors say they are afraid to go to a nursing home despite the concern of their relatives about their loss of autonomy.

Stay at home as long as possible

Danielle Drugmand is 71 years old and her son does not want to put her in a nursing home, " Sordid and overpriced establishments ", says her son Joel. Both mother and son want to stay at home as long as possible, but a recent fall has created a daily fear for Danielle's safety. " It's not always possible for my son to visit me to make sure everything is okay, and my pension doesn't allow me to afford a nursing home," explains Danielle, who lives alone in her home. "Since my husband passed away, I need to have contact with my loved ones in case of problems.

The testimony of a technology at the service of isolated seniors

Joel then started looking for a safe solution for his mother to stay at home. " I absolutely wanted to respect her choice," Joel shares in his testimony. " The nursing home is a reassuring solution for the children but it is not a gift for the parents. I was looking for a new solution and my pharmacist recommended Dcare as a remote monitoring and fall detection solution.

For the past few months, Danielle has been equipped with the Dcare solution, our bracelet connected to the phone of her loved ones and caregivers through an app that alerts them when needed. "In the past, I had a simple alert button but I fell and remained unconscious without being able to call for help. With this new bracelet, the alert is automatically sent to my entire network and my son calls me directly to make sure everything is okay. Maybe I'll start faking my fall! (laughs).

It is this lack of efficiency that led his son Joel to look for another solution: " Since his fall, I want to be informed instantly if something happens to my mother ". This solution also proposes to automatically detect unusual behaviors, such as not having left her room at noon when she usually gets up at 8 am. It is also possible to detect dangerous exits and the position of the wearer.

The joy of independence in complete security

" Since I started wearing this bracelet, I feel much more serene. Thanks to the bracelet Dcare , I am reassured when I am alone at home! " explains Danielle. " After my fall, I was always afraid of making a wrong move and falling. Joel and I are so happy that we were able to find this solution : I am looked after but I am no longer dependent on others! Indeed, studies prove that the prevention and especially the detection of incidents are essential to limit their consequences and even reduce their frequency with renewed confidence. An incident that is quickly identified allows for optimal management to limit the physical and psychological consequences as much as possible. For example, each hour spent on the ground after a fall increases the risk of serious consequences. It is therefore important to act in a preventive manner without depriving oneself of autonomy.
