DASHBOARD CALENDAR
Claris Companion provides peace of mind by allowing you to see, at a glance, that your loved one is okay. Our service non-intrusively monitors your family member’s activity, compliance and wellness. These activities of daily living (ADL) are displayed on a color-coded dashboard calendar and as a CareDot™ score. If you want more information about a particular activity, such as a missed medication reminder, simply click on the calendar event to display the Date and Time, Activity, Details, Action, and Scheduled Date and Time (if available).
VIDEO CALLING
Speak face-to-face with your loved one using Companion’s video chat. Unlike other popular video chat applications, Claris Companion is private, secure, and incredibly easy to use. Family can use any device to call including our new Android and iPhone/iPad apps. Because your loved one’s Companion tablet is always on, they will always be alerted to an incoming call and only need to touch the large “Answer” button.
Imagine being able to see your loved one at any time and make sure they’re okay.

They can also reply or write new messages using the on-screen keyboard, voice-to-text recognition, or external bluetooth keyboard (not included).

ALERTS
Claris Companion can automatically generates alerts sent to your cell phone or email if anything is out of the ordinary such as missed medications, treatments, or check-ins. Alerts can be tailored for specific family members or home care workers to follow-up before an adverse event occurs. Alerts are easy way to keep track of your loved one and make sure that they’re okay.
CALL ME
Many seniors recognize that loved ones lead busy lives and don’t want to disturb them even though they wished “you’d call more often”. With a touch of the “Call Me” button an email or text message can be sent to loved ones asking them to call when they get a chance. As a result, isolated seniors can reach out to family and friends without feeling like they’re being intrusive.
WELLNESS SURVEYS
Daily wellness surveys can be scheduled that kindly ask the senior how they are feeling. With the touch of a button (better/same/worse), wellness trends can be established over time and alerts can be sent to family and caregivers.
CHECK IN
In the morning, seniors can press the “check-in” button to send an email or text message to loved ones letting them know they’re okay. If the check-in button is not pressed, after a configurable amount of time an alert will be generated and sent to family or caregivers notifying them that the check-in was missed.
