Independa, a company which offers cloud services to enable the remote monitoring of the elderly, has struck an agreement so that Ideal Life’s wireless-enabled devices such as scales and glucometers  will be integrated into Independa’s forthcoming Artemis solution.

The idea is that the elderly or their caregivers can buy and install one of Ideal Life’s devices which can then connect automatically with other devices also using the Artemis solution which Independa plans to launch this autumn.

Independa’s pitch is that its service means caregivers or the elderly do not “have to play integrator to make disparate devices work together”. It is designed particularly for patients who need to quickly establish a monitoring system such as when they return home from hospital or move into an independent living facility.
