A new assessment tool that allows the monitoring of activities of daily living, but also alerts if a risk is identified

1. Independent Life
Solutions
The Care Assessment
Tool

2. The CAT is a life style monitoring system that can be
utilised for a variety of assessment scenarios:
• Dementia – understanding individual daily life patterns
• Hospital discharge – support care plan development
• Learning Disability – improve resource allocation
• Night time cover requirements

3. Using PIR’s (passive infra red) and door contacts,
daily activities can be recorded to give a clearer
understanding of the needs of the person being
monitored.
The sensors record each event and transmits the
data in “real time” via the GSM Router to the CAT
web server.
Using a secured log in all the data can be
analysed with a simple to use activity table.

4. The CAT has the unique capability of allowing
you to create a bespoke system to best represent
the way the data will be presented on the web
server
• Each sensor can be named, e.g. Bedroom 1
or Front door (outer)
• Timings can be set to monitor varied time
slots each day or night
• Up to 16 sensors can be used depending on
what you want to monitor
• Log in and out facility for Carers – logs times
for support plan review
• Ability to check status of GSM signal, power
supply

5. The CAT+ is the next level of activity
monitoring designed to be used in a Supported
Living environment.
The CAT+ can be used to understand what
support is needed for residents of a supported
living property by collecting data about activity
levels particularly at night which may lead to a
reduction of waking nights.
To get accurate data that give a complete picture
you may need to monitor health conditions –
Epilepsy, Incontinence, bed leaving or wandering

6. The CAT+ is an integrated system that can
record activity levels and alert carers that an
incident has occurred and needs a response - at
the same time!
The CAT+ consists of transmitters that can be
linked to existing sensors such as epilepsy
sensors (Alert It), enuresis sheets – both cotton
and kylie and bed sensors – either pressure mats
or PIR’s.
These unique transmitters will alert the carer via a
pager and record the incident on the web server,

7. Manchester City Council is using the CAT + to review
its Supported Living properties and this example is just
one of the results the CAT has achieved:
3 Residents – waking night
- 1 Epilepsy sensor – CAT monitoring & alerting to
the carers
- 2 Enuresis sensors – CAT monitoring & alerting to
the carers
- 2 Door contacts CAT monitoring only
- 1 PIR CAT monitoring only
