Home Care – How Digital Helpers Support Relatives
Caring for a loved one at home is a demanding task for many families. Relatives take responsibility, organize appointments, and worry daily about the well-being of their family members. Digital helpers such as modern health smartwatches can ease this burden – and bring safety into everyday life.
Why home care can be overwhelming
In Europe, millions of people depend on home care – often provided by their families. The responsibility is high: monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen, or simply checking in regularly. This often costs time, creates uncertainty, and leads to constant stress for caregivers.
How smartwatches provide relief
A device like the Kardena® CARE Pro 5 takes over part of this responsibility automatically:
- Automatic measurements: Continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen, and temperature.
- Early alerts: Notifications in case of irregularities.
- Data sharing: Health values can be shared with up to three trusted contacts – ideal for children or partners.
- User-friendly: Large display, simple menus, and easy-to-understand app reports.
Practical real-life examples
- Elisabeth (82): Lives alone, but her daughter receives automatic notifications if health values are critical.
- Karl (76): His wife feels relieved thanks to the medication reminder function.
- The Meier family: Shares health data through the app, so siblings can support each other in caregiving.
More safety for seniors, less stress for relatives
This combination of prevention and digital support makes all the difference: seniors live more independently, while relatives feel reassured because they are informed in case of an emergency. Everyone benefits.
Conclusion
Digital helpers are no longer a vision of the future – they already provide valuable support in everyday home care. The CARE Pro 5 shows how modern technology increases safety and reduces stress for families.
