Emma Zorgt is a voice-controlled digital assistant that works via Google Home. It checks whether users are present and doing well several times a day. If necessary, Emma alerts the healthcare provider, informal care provider, family, the incident room of a home care institution or a dispatch centre. Emma Zorgt allows informal care providers to configure periodic check-ins. Healthcare organisations can deploy Emma Zorgt to keep track of their population’s well-being effectively. The daily check-ins with well-being measurements provide the organisation with a real-time healthcare monitor so they can take action when necessary. Meanwhile, the efficiency boost in triage and the processing of help requests alleviates the workload on healthcare staff. As such, Emma Zorgt helps support seniors so they can continue to live independently for longer
