IoT Electric Water Boiler & Warmer (Unreleased: Currently in Field Trials)
A familiar cup of tea brings peace of mind to the family. An IoT Electric Water Boiler & Warmer that naturally watches over loved ones living apart by automatically visualizing dispensing volume and room temperature.
Background of Development: The Pursuit of Natural Monitoring Without Surveillance Stress
As the “safety of family members living apart” becomes a pressing social issue, many elderly individuals feel reluctant to adopt camera-based monitoring systems due to the psychological stress of “constantly being watched.” Therefore, there was a strong need for a new approach to gentle monitoring—one that seamlessly blends into daily routines without causing any burden or stress to the person being cared for.
Solution to the Issue: The Act of “Drinking Tea” Becomes Life-Protecting Data
The casual, everyday action of “pouring hot water from the Electric Water Boiler & Warmer” is directly converted into vital monitoring data. No special operations are required; simply dispensing water as usual automatically measures the “dispensed volume” and “room temperature,” sharing this helpful information with family members and relevant caregivers. Completely free from the stress of surveillance, it serves as a reliable support tool to promptly notice changes in daily life rhythms and the room environment (temperature).
Product Features
- Monitoring that Blends into Daily Life: Automatically measures dispensing time and volume just by using hot water as usual. It quietly records daily activities without placing any burden on the person being monitored.
- Visualization of Room Temperature: Simultaneously captures the room temperature around the unit. Because changes in room temperature can be checked via a smartphone app, it provides a caring opportunity to monitor the air conditioning usage (e.g., forgetting to turn on the heater or AC) of loved ones living far away.
Collaboration: Integration with Cross-Industry Eldercare and Medical Networks
This solution is designed not only as a BtoC service for families but also fully supports BtoB services for in-home nursing care and elderly care facilities. We have successfully achieved data integration between our IoT Electric Water Boiler & Warmer and “Care Data Connect,” a comprehensive platform provided by Bright Vie Co., Ltd. that consolidates sensors and vital sign devices in caregiving environments. By centralizing dispensing and room temperature data on a single screen, it streamlines information checking and recording tasks for care staff, powerfully promoting digital transformation (DX) in the caregiving field. By gently connecting all stakeholders through our reliable IoT technology, we contribute to enhancing the quality of comprehensive community care and delivering more attentive, warm services.
