Hello, we're Just Checking

We're here to help you help others

Just Checking monitors the movement of a person in their home and generates a chart of activity, online. Developed in the UK, it is used by more than half of all UK social services local authorities to help people with dementia or poor memory to live independently in their own home.

According to Alzheimers.org.au, an estimated 269,000 people live with dementia in Australia, and each week, there are approximately 1,500 new cases diagnosed. This is expected to grow to 7,400 new diagnoses each week by 2050. Just Checking is currently running trials of our system in Australia to see how it can help address this growing situation.

In the UK, care professionals use the system for assessment and planning care. Just Checking highlights what a person is able to do for themselves in the familiarity of their own home, and the effect of care services.

Families use it to 'just check' that a family member is following their usual pattern of life, without intruding or undermining their independence. It provides a real insight, so that you understand how best to offer support, and when to make social rather than 'checking' visits.

Just Checking is simple to install. There are no video cameras. The system uses wireless movement sensors and the mobile phone network. You don't need broadband, just a single power socket.
