Howz - the IoT connect home system offering peace of mind
by Startacus Admin
We are loving the look of Howz - an innovative IoT connected home system that helps you stay linked with elderly relatives wherever you are.
Developed by Manchester based health tech company Intelesant the Howz platform has been getting a little well deserved press recently. Not wanting to miss out, we thought it about time we also shared word on this connected home system that offers peace of mind to families and their loved ones.
We’ve been keeping an eye on Howz since they were selected for EDF Energy Blue Lab’s Connected Home and Business Challenge a few months back. The 'challenge' took
part at EDF Energy’s Blue Lab Accelerator and welcomed startups that had a focus on making 'energy customers lives easier' through innovation....step forward Howz.
Howz is a connected home system that links a series of monitors around the home that constantly check for changes in a person’s normal routine… monitoring if they got out of bed at their regular time, didn’t leave the front door open, turned the TV on...the list of regular routines goes on...
So, if that then monitored routine is disrupted or stops, alerts are sent to selected members of the persons family, friends or neighbours, which then gives them the opportunity to phone or pop in to check that the relative is all well.
Its ‘big brother’ in a good way and offers both peace of mind to the whole family and the 'monitored' person who lives at home on their own.
At the recent EDF Energy Innovators day - Howz was awarded as the overall winner and we reckon that this is just one of many accolades and awards that Howz could bag over the next few months and years.
Check out their promo video below that best paints the picture on what Howz aims to offer:
