Explanation
Housing Proactive is the only system based around proactive contact which has been proven to work at scale specifically designed for older people to signify that their housing needs are being met by pressing a button on a device specially designed for that age group one or more times a day. Devices are available for properties with and without landline telephony. The system allows the broadcast of pre-recorded messages to end-users as and when they press their button and also allows the broadcast of emergency messages at any time day or night by pre-recorded telephone call, text message or email. It is the only system based around pro-active contact that using pattern recognition technology can detect changes in the potential needs of end-users. It is the only system based around pro-active contact which is Housing Benefit eligible which is an absolute condition of any such service.
