Care Messenger
Presentation by Paul Slaughter, CEO of Care Messenger.
Care Messenger is a UK company that has partnered with global electronics giant LG to create a unique application that allows text, image, and video messages to be sent from a smart phone (or the Care Messenger web portal) direct to a TV.
It overlays messages onto the live content so that it can’t be missed or it can show an alert bubble to signal a message in waiting. Responses can be made simply using the TV remote. TV based video chat/conferencing is also being made available on the same system, whilst the system allows easy integration with other technologies, such as video door-bells.
It has many applications in social care whether for providing reminders for appointments or medication needs, or for providing assistance at the touch of a button. Innovative solutions are possible for relieving isolation and loneliness, supporting people with a learning disability, for overcoming short term memory problems, and for other groups of people who may lack the confidence to use a computer or a touch-screen device.
The system includes a large flat-screen TV, web-cam, and installation, and can be provided with a broadband contract if necessary.

here2there
Presentation by Roger Rowett from Here2There.
Here2there.me is a person centred planning and outcomes recording app aimed at organisations who provide targeted support to individuals.
Everything is carried out online with a mentor and the process starts with a strength-based assessment, followed by agreeing a set of goals and a circle of support. Individuals then use a smartphone (or any internet connected device) to record stories of achievement thorough words and pictures on a timeline, very like social media. The circle of support provides encouragement via their own app in real time, this allows different services to work in a joined-up way.
Finally, reviews are carried out at agreed intervals and progress is measured on a numerical scale against each goal. Most importantly, evidence of achievement is supported by the stories on the individual’s timeline.
