AroundMe™ Pilot service
– Customers love it !
“I find it brilliant! It sends a positive message that I’m up
and about, it also sends a message if I’m not, which is
nice to know that he (responder) is keeping an eye on
me”
“It’s comforting to know that somebody’s watching over
me.”
“It is just something that’s there and we carry on as
normal.”
“You just get used to the [sensors] being where it is and
you don’t notice it. I mean nobody said at my party,
“What’s this?” that’s the main thing!”
(End Customers)
“It gives me that day to day security of knowing that she
(the end customer) is up and about.”
“It’s that reassurance that she’s up and about and she’s
fine … I’m at a distance.”
“The reassurance is good. You get a message if she’s not
out and about, that is useful. If she hasn’t got up and put
the kettle on and the temperature is cold, so you know
you’re going to be able to intervene. I do like that.”
“It’s given me a bit more freedom as well.”
