A better way to
monitor someone
in need.

Gentroo is a reliable, affordable and flexible way to monitor your loved ones.

In addition to providing the same list of features as a call center service (Panic button, Falls Detection, Wandering), Gentroo offers a host of benefits including:

• Immediate notifications in case of emergency
• Much cheaper, particularly when you consider options like GPS location and Fall Detection, or if you want to monitor more than one person, which can cost thousands of dollars annually with a traditional 'call center' service
• True mobility (2-way voice works from the device, not the "home hub" as in most other offerings, and the device works inside and outside seamlessly)
• Free in-app messaging and calling within the Network
• The ability to set Security and Privacy levels at the level of individual monitors (e.g. you may want to limit what a neighbor can see and do, vs. a family member)
• Use multiple devices + Bring You Own Device ("BYOD") capability (use virtually any device you want, for example a blood glucose monitor or a Fitbit)

Gentroo sends event notifications (e.g. a Fall, or a Panic button press) to you and the other monitors in your network, and includes a number of supporting features to ensure the system fits your life and your needs.

No; Gentroo includes tools to help you manage alerts and notifications. The goal is for people to be able to find the right balance between staying informed, and avoiding "alert fatigue", and to be able to turn notifications up and down (or off and on) as needed.

Some notification management features include:

• "Alert Validation" minimizes false alarms by requiring a confirmation from the person being monitored prior to sending the alert out to your Network (can be customized)
• Individual alert settings that allow you to fine-tune notifications (e.g. Falls Detection sensitivity)
• Monitor-level settings allow you to set which alerts go to which monitors, and when (time of day)

Alert Notifications are delivered to Monitors' phones, and can be addressed as appropriate, whether immediately in the case of emergencies, or at a more convenient time for less urgent issues.

Gentroo can be easily customized to make sure you have the right level of network montoring, up to around-the-clock coverage if needed. For example, you can quickly add and remove 'temporary' Monitors, e.g. for an evening. You can also set landline numbers for added security.

You can turn notifications off at night, or direct them to another Monitor in the network. This is again about each person striking the balance that best suits their needs and situation. Some people want to receive all notifications, and some do not. Gentroo allows you to adjust these settings as you go, until you find the mix that fits. You can even split the night up, by setting who sees what notifications by time.

The Gentroo Community pilot will run from February 14, 2022 to May 14, 2022.

Yes, the pilot will be free for participants, including use of a monitoring device for the pilot period.

Just monitor someone who needs it, using the system, and provide regular updates on your experience via an online survey.

Three months of free monitoring for your family, and the satisfaction of helping a Sault Ste. Marie company launch a product to help people, as well as our thank you! And, the option to keep the monitoring device after the pilot with a subscription.

After 5 years of development and testing, we are taking the first steps to commercialization with our Community Beta Pilot in early 2022. We plan to offer Gentroo commercially in the second half of 2022.
