openPASS vs CanaryCare

openPASS is a free to download mobile application that enhances care connectivity and communication to finally give a clear view of care to all. It is powered by The PASSsystem care management platform. openPASS extends the view of the view of the care purchased by the care receiver by allowing registered users to access the customer’s Care Notes and Care Plan. People who will be able to access openPASS for free include healthcare workers, family and friends of the care receiver. The unique, patent pending application provides inclusive access to all real-time care plans and records. This opens up communication channels; the family, residential care and homecare providers can now all work alongside each to gain access to relevant information and transform care delivery. This is more than a technology solution. It's a new way of thinking about openness, transparency and sharing care to reshape the health and care system fit for the 21st century. Finally, a clear view of care for family members and every healthcare professional. You are able to access openPASS on any smartphone or tablet for FREE for 30 minutes while in the care receiver’s home, limited to one session per day. If you need to get access to the care notes anywhere, anytime, you can upgrade your access permission. Just follow the prompts on the app when your 30 minute session expires.

Canary Care is a discreet, easy to install monitoring system which enables families and carers to support the elderly and vulnerable so that they can live independently for longer. Sensors placed around the home monitor movement, doors opening/closing, temperature and light levels and smartcards can be used to keep track of visitors. • The Canary Care system can help to spot the warning signs of problems so that preventative action can be taken • older and vulnerable people can feel secure knowing help is never far away • families gain peace of mind through round the clock reassurance The Canary Care mobile app provides a quick and simple way for users to keep an eye on their loved ones. The dashboard screen shows the most recent activity (movement, doors, cards), highest/lowest temperatures and any alerts due to rules having been triggered. Tapping on an activity or temperature icon in the dashboard opens up a chart view of the data which can be scrolled and zoomed. In the Settings screen the user can choose to enable Push Notifications which will then be received for every alert that is raised. Users who look after several people, using multiple Canary Care systems, can easily switch between them. This first version of the Canary Care mobile app does not support all of the features available in the browser-based web application e.g. different chart types, rule configuration etc. Let us know what features you miss the most and we will prioritise these for inclusion in the next version of the mobile app.
