Howz
Howz is a smart home monitoring system designed to help carers keep an eye on elderly or vulnerable adults. By connecting to devices like smart plugs and meters, it learns a person’s daily routine and alerts carers to any short-term anomalies or longer-term changes. This helps users remain independent for longer while giving carers reassurance and peace of mind.
