Technology Companies Partner to Accelerate New Remote Homecare Services in Response to COVID-19
Develco Products and People Power deliver white label AI-powered solutions for the rapidly expanding home care market.
Aging western societies put a strain on today’s healthcare systems which are not prepared for the upcoming increased demand for elderly care and home care. To address these challenges, Develco Products has formed a strategic partnership with People Power, a Silicon-Valley based software and services company. Together, we are offering a white label end-to-end home care solution that combines our mature hardware with highly intelligent AI software developed by People Power. The kit will help deliver today’s most advanced white label homecare services for European and U.S. markets challenged by COVID-19 and chronic diseases including Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Available for service providers who want to help seniors live more safely and confidently in their homes, companies can quickly launch AI-powered homecare services through their own brands. The combined system has been tested extensively and is ready to be adopted by businesses seeking to enter the rapidly expanding home care market.
Number of seniors wanting to live at home is accelerating
COVID-19 death rates at long-term care facilities differ widely across European and American countries, in many cases accounting for more than 50% of all pandemic-related fatalities. Research shows that living in long-term care facilities is a significant risk factor for dying from COVID-19. Consequently, the number of seniors who want to age safely and comfortably at home has accelerated. The aging of western societies, characterized by increasing life expectancies in the coming decades, will create an accelerating burden on a country’s economic, health care, and social security, creating demand for vastly improved remote home care systems.

New kit enables rapid launch of turn-key home care solution
Develco Products and People Power provide white label offerings for rapid go-to-market initiatives for service providers seeking recurring revenues from new businesses, including remote homecare solutions that answer the need for vastly improved aging in place solutions. Beginning with intelligent turn-key deployments of service trials to help companies frame and prove market opportunities, companies can quickly test their unique service differentiation with audiences of any size prior to broad commercialization. The center of the hardware solution is Develco Products’ advanced white label Squid.link gateway, built upon a modular platform for connecting devices and transferring data reliably and securely. It supports a wide range of communication protocols and is able to quickly scale consumer offerings.
Easily installable solution enables independent living
Develco Products’ advanced hardware solution combined with People Power’s innovative software work together to help seniors remain safe at home 24/7 with the most comprehensive safety net of alerts and emergency response procedures. The solution is easy to install in the home of a senior and can give peace of mind to their adult children worried about the safety of parents living alone or with a spouse or partner. It also helps families living together with adult children who are gone during the workday, leaving a senior at home alone. The solution features a dual-SIM cellular gateway perfect for rural, urban, and underserved seniors challenged with antiquated or unavailable internet connectivity. The system does not require in-home cameras, respecting the privacy of seniors. Homecare offerings can further be expanded with wireless sensors that alert for occurrences of fire, water leaks, and more.
Highly advanced AI software recognizes irregularities and emergencies
People Power’s unique architecture is centered around AI-powered bots running in the cloud which can be downloaded onto the gateway for added performance, reliability, and security. Continuously learning and updating patterns of activity in the home enables the system to detect deviations that signal potentially troubling situations like falls, failure to get out of bed or return home at expected times, sleep irregularities, and more. In such instances, alerts are triggered to notify family members, caregivers, and the 24/7 emergency call center.
