Revolutionising Assisted Living in Aged Care and NDIS

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology, Pebble is proud to introduce RAMAL (Remote Activity Monitoring Assisted Living) - a groundbreaking solution designed specifically for Aged Care and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants. By harnessing the power of Internet of Things (IoT) and our innovative Pebble products, we've created a cost effective open platform that prioritises both care and privacy.

The RAMAL Advantage

At the heart of RAMAL is our commitment to improving patient and participant outcomes while enhancing their quality of life, as well as their families. Here's how our solution stands out:

• Open Platform: Built on PebbleHub, our solution ensures interoperability and flexibility, allowing for easy integration with existing systems and future innovations without being locked in to any specific manufacturer.
• Advanced mmWave Sensors: Utilising cutting-edge millimeter-wave technology, our sensors provide accurate and detailed monitoring without compromising privacy.
• Privacy-Preserving Monitoring: Unlike traditional camera-based systems, RAMAL respects the dignity and privacy of individuals while still offering comprehensive care insights.
• Wide Scenario Detection: From fall detection, heart and breath rates to sleep pattern analysis, RAMAL can identify and respond to a broad range of situations, ensuring comprehensive care.
• Context-Rich Insights: Carers receive detailed, actionable information about patient or participant status and trends, enabling more informed and timely decision-making.

Transforming Care Delivery

RAMAL isn't just about technology; it's about transforming the way we approach care. By providing carers with rich, contextual information, we enable:

• Proactive care interventions
• Reduced response times to critical events
• Personalised care plans based on individual patterns and needs
• Improved communication between care teams and families

Privacy at the Forefront

In an age where data privacy is paramount, RAMAL sets a new standard. Our PebbleHub and Command Centre solution is 100% private and mmWave sensors capture essential health and movement data without recording identifiable images or video. This means residents and participants can feel secure, knowing their personal data is kept private at all times, as well as their personal space being respected while still receiving top-tier care.

Real-World Impact

Australian analyses highlights the potential of technology in aged care and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Assistive technologies and home modifications are being explored across government and industry to support independent living and improve quality of life for older Australians and those with disabilities. Smart home technologies show promise in reducing care service reliance and enhancing safety.

The NDIS cost-benefit analysis revealed significant benefits, including $7.6 billion in net benefits for 2022-23, largely improving life satisfaction for participants and families. The growing home care market is increasingly adopting digital platforms to address staffing challenges. However, implementation and impact measurement remain challenging. Recommendations include developing a national policy on smart home assistive technology and investing in evidence-based guidance.
