3g Network Shutdown Will Open The Door For More Efficient Machine-led Aged Care

May 31, 2021 | Business

While recent attention on Aged Care has been focused on staff ratios and funding, large technology upgrades have been largely left off the table due to their complexity and cost of implementation, however that is about to change, for better or worse, says HSC Technology Group Managing Director Graham Russell.

Telstra is shutting down the 3G network, which is responsible for operating large amounts of the elderlys Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) devices across Australia, Mr Russell said.

This will be the catalyst for change the industry needs to bring its technology up to speed with 2021 and all providers should be taking advantage of it to transition their clients towards Ageing in Place Assistive Technology that incorporates more predictive forms of monitoring, such as AI and machine-led monitoring.

Many current 3G Emergency Response devices have not advanced in the last 30 years with simple alerts alerts to third parties in the event of incidents, while the next generation solutions provided a more advanced model monitoring movement to look for irregularities and providing proactive preventive automated alerts.

Simply replacing these devices with similar 4G-enabled devices is missing a huge opportunity to upgrade the entire technological base of the industry to provide better, less intrusive care for the elderly, according to Mr Russell.

Weve been stuck in an outdated form of thinking that independence means being left alone, and we dont agree with that. We think more technology is the answer to increasing independence for the elderly, which is why a new generation of monitoring devices are needed.

In response to this opportunity, HSC Technology Group has developed the TALIUS platform a 4G technology hub that uses AI and machine-learning to predict potential issues based on data, such as falls detecting falls, deterioration in health and vital signs and provide proportional alerts to the correct avenues.

Outsourcing repetitive and intrusive spot-checks to machines will allow carers to spend more time providing the human touch and meaningful interactions with the elderly. We think thats a positive change for the industry we cant afford not to take advantage of.

HSC Technology Group is a leading provider of Aged Care technology solutions and is currently offering Aged Care providers with no upfront cost upgrades of outdated 3G PERS devices to their Essence Care ( @ ) Home range, powered by TALIUS. They can be contacted at 1300 711 979.

My Little Blue Home, a new book written by Sadie Young and illustrated by Jayne Ann Osborne, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Come meet June, Ren, and Mick as they learn, grow, and go on adventures in their little blue home. My Little Blue Home, inspired by real children in their little blue home, will be sure to bring your children laughter and smiles as they relate to everyday life through the eyes of a child just like them. Come along as the children grow and learn about the magic of their home, yard, trees, and surroundings. In the little blue home it is believed that life should be explored and joy is all around us. And even the most ordinary of places can become extraordinary.

About the Author
Author, wife, and mother of three, Sadie Young has found inspiration for the series of Little Blue Home books through the purchase of her own little blue home. Moving into this home with her husband, baby girl, shortly joined by two more boys has been the adventure of their lives.

Young grew up in small town Lehi, Utah on a horse farm. There she learned to love horses and family time in their real life “farm house”. In adulthood, she loves and is passionate about many things including, writing, baking, psychology, and, of course, her family in her little blue home.

About the Illustrator
Some of Jayne’s earliest memories are drawing stick-figure horses with her mother. As a child, she always knew three things: she wanted to grow up and have 20 babies, live on a horse farm, and become an artist. Fast forward to today, she is a wife and stay at home mom of three. She finds joy in mothering, running an intergenerational story time at an assisted living facility, and making time to follow her childhood dreams. Although twenty babies and a horse farm aren’t part of the feasible picture, becoming a published illustrator definitely ticks the “become an artist” box!

My Little Blue Home is a 32-page hardcover with a retail price of $23.00 ($18.00 eBook). The ISBN is 978-1-6461-0343-0. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

A Full Life or The Life of a Fool, a new book by Richard L. Wilson, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

What happens when you’re born backwards in a country hospital in York, Pennsylvania? In this memoir, A Full Life or The Life of a Fool, Richard L. Wilson offers being “born backwards” as a tongue-in-cheek answer for physical trials such as being cross-eyed, having a bad temper, being very bullheaded, and feeling driven to do whatever he decided to do regardless of the outcome. During his youth on a Pennsylvania farm, enlistment in the Marines, and adult life as a milkman, farmer, service station owner, and farm equipment salesman, these born-backwards traits got Richard into plenty of scrapes-and out of a few too.

About the Author
Richard L. Wilson grew up in York, PA, and lived most of his life there, aside from his time in military service and a condo in Florida. He served as an elected school board member for 8 years, four of those as president, and also served a number of years on a private school board. He was the 1958 Pennsylvania FFA Horseshoe champion and was active in professional horseshoes as an adult in the 1970s and an avid golfer from 1990 on. He is currently the president of two condo associations, one in Florida and one in Pennsylvania. Richard and his wife, Dee, have been married for 61 years and have 3 great grandsons.

A Full Life or The Life of a Fool is a 132-page paperback with a retail price of $13.00. It is also available in eBook format. The ISBN is 978-1-6491-3835-4. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Tangled Hearts, a new book by Ruth Altamura-Roll, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Not wanting to be the spinster aunt, Ana decided to take her destiny into her own hands. Being the governess to the two grandsons of Lady Catherine Luttrell, as well as her companion, Ana was willing to take the risk at Dunster Castle even with the knowledge that Lord Alexander Luttrell, Duke of Exmoor, had a reputation as a scoundrel and libertine. Anything was better than marrying Charles. Charles’ love for Ana had no bounds and now that he was the baron, he could not stop pursuing her. He was determined to capture her heart and bring her home from Dunster to where she belonged, by his side.

Alexander Luttrell had had enough of women. He returned wounded from the wars in India only to discover that his wife had abandoned him and his two young sons. His reputation was ruined and his son’s lives were crushed. He was furious at Lady Catherine’s constant meddling into his household affairs by bringing in a governess. He was determined that his sons would never have to experience such heartbreak again at the hand of a woman. And a governess was too close for comfort. Struggling with his own demons from the war and his reputation already in tatters, his relationship with Riya, his young charge from India, only added to his mystery.

About the Author
Ruth Altamura-Roll is a new author and Tangled Hearts is her first novel. Always having dreamed of writing historical romance, she is excited to be able to bring her first work to the public with more books to follow. For over 35years, Ms. Altamura-Roll has been a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and has been in private practice for over 20 years.

She and her husband Steven, also a counselor, have been Civil War re-enactors for over 15 years. If you don’t find her in her office, at her laptop, or at her piano, you will most likely find her in her garden dreaming up her next novel or self-help book.
