People Power, a leading healthtech software company providing AI-powered services for senior care, announces today the availability of a caregiving system – Presence Caregiver – designed to address the everyday challenges of providing care for people with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The free program is offered to caregivers living with a person who has received a diagnosis of dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Participating caregivers must be literate in English, have a smartphone and wireless internet connectivity in the home, and be willing to participate in intermittent study activities. Participants will receive the Presence Caregiver Research Pack and mobile app at no cost, a free Amazon Echo upon installation of the system, and each caregiver will earn at least $150 for completing quick-and-easy questionnaires.
Key findings from the collaborative study will reveal how an intelligent connected solution can be designed to assist in the effort of delivering better care for people with dementia while addressing all-too-common feelings of isolation, stress and loneliness of caregivers. The program is led by People Power and University California Berkeley’s Psychophysiology Laboratory, headed by Dr. Robert W. Levenson.

“The next generation of truly intelligent home care systems must significantly improve the lives of caregivers and patients alike”, said Gene Wang, CEO and cofounder of People Power Co. “There’s a tremendous need to dramatically lower the cost of home care while helping seniors live in their homes longer. This project has already produced significant advancements in how senior and family care services can be delivered with today’s best technology and research.”
The Presence Caregiver Research Pack includes a variety of sensors that are installed in the home, similar to a security system, but without cameras. The sensors gather continuous pattern motion data and, using Artificial Intelligence (AI), create a safety net for the home that alerts caregivers to potential hazards. Data from sensors fuel a menu of helpful services that perform continuous monitoring of occupants. The easy-to-use mobile app connects to and integrates with the wirelessly connected sensors to help understand the real-time and historic activities in the home, distributes alerts, connects with a Trusted Circle of family and friends, and more.
The Presence Caregiver Research Pack provides a variety of helpful caregiving services:
