Elma® Detection – An invaluable assessment tool
Elma® Detection system provides important information on the activity and daily rhythms of individuals living at home
– without the need for on-site visits. At what times and where they move around at home? Do they leave the bedroom?
When do they use the toilet? Do they go to the refrigerator for meals? How much and at what times of the day do they sleep?
Elma® offers the possibility to monitor long-term developments in activity or movement, providing essential
information for assessment units, home care, doctors, and physiotherapy teams to support decision-making.
The information provided by Elma® also reduces the worry of family members.
Long-term diagrams provide valuable information
The five graphs in the Elma® home care user interface show the activity status over a desired time period, compared to
the threshold values set for the resident. Below are examples of the graphs over a six-month review period:

More reliable assessment of service needs
The data produced by the Elma® system is used in the work of
assessment teams to support the assessment of service needs of
senior people. Continuous, objective remote monitoring provides
an overall picture of the resident’s daily life, movement, circadian
rhythm and functional capacity to support decision-making.
