The Ontario Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA) regulations require that the client have ultimate say in who has access to their medical records. There are different degrees of access that can be granted to family members and friends. Furthermore, your medical information remains on the system and not in the cloud on a third party server.

The system can be used by a third party home care provider to track and follow your loved one's individualized Care Plan and to document Care Notes as required.

As with all electrical devices, the system would shut down, but the SENIOR/FAMILY CONNECT Cloud can notify all caregivers via Email and Text that the system has powered down and then will re-notify when the system is powered back on. The system will not lose information if it is turned off but it will not be able to communicate with sensors etc, until the power is switched on again.

Also, the system can be set-up to turn at certain time of day i.e. 6:00AM and turn off at another time i.e. 10:00PM.  In between those times, the screen comes back to life by simply touching it.
