Inagi City Home Elderly Watching Light Bulb Service

Updated: July 26, 2023

From 2022, as a three-year trial project, we will implement a monitoring project that utilizes light bulbs that combine LED light bulbs and communication functions ("watching light bulbs").

Business content

Monitoring light bulbs are installed in home toilets, etc., and the activities of the elderly are detected by checking whether the lights are turned on or off. If there is no activity to turn on or off the lights for 24 hours, a notification will be sent to the pre-set notification recipients, such as family and friends, by email. If the person being notified is unable to visit immediately, the outsourced company's staff will visit upon request.
 
(Note 1) There is no need for construction work for the communication function or an electrical outlet, and a 26-caliber base light bulb can be installed in a place where it can be installed. You may not be able to use it depending on the communication situation at the installation location.
(Note 2) We do not guarantee the safety of the user's body or life.
(Note 3) Up to 4 people can be registered as notification recipients.

Target audience

Person living alone living in the city 75 years or older. In addition, the upper limit of installation of light bulbs is 500 people.

Implementation period
