Home Monitoring Light Bulb Service for Older Adults in Inagi City

Starting from the fiscal year 2022, we will implement a monitoring project utilizing LED bulbs integrated with communication functions ("Monitoring Bulbs") as a trial project for three years.

Business Activities

Install monitoring light bulbs in home toilets and other areas to detect the activities of Older Adults through lighting and turning off. If there is no movement of lighting or turning off for 24 hours, an email will be sent to the pre-set notification contacts such as family members or acquaintances. If the notified person cannot visit immediately, staff from the contracted Business Operators will visit upon request.

• (Note 1) No communication function construction or outlets are required, and it can be installed in a location where a 26 caliber socket bulb can be installed. Depending on the communication status of the installation location, it may not be available for use.
• (Note 2) This does not guarantee the safety of the user's body or life.
• (Note 3) Up to 4 recipients can be registered.

Eligible Individuals

Individuals living alone in the city who are 75 years old or older. Please note that the installation limit for light bulbs is 500 people.

Implementation Period

From May 1, 2022, to March 2025. Please note that new applications will be accepted until December 2024 (planned).
