Wearable Technology to Support the Health, Wellness, and Safety of Individuals with a Disability

Are you worried about your child running away or getting lost? About not being about not being able to reach them by phone? About not knowing when they are having a medical event? About needing to guide their behavior? All these situations describe the terrifying moment your loved one needs your supervision. Scott Carpenter, Co-founder of BoundaryCare, has a solution. He will discuss the usefulness of wearables for supporting vulnerable individuals. In particular, he will show how cutting-edge technologies can provide far greater support than the "point solutions" of the past. Whether the problem is location monitoring, fall detection, monitoring of complex health issues, or providing behavioral support, unobtrusive wearables can be a boon for caregivers and those they support, providing safety and independence.
