NeoCare was formed to exploit a technology for non-invasively monitoring patients in UK care homes, initially developed by the Centre for Intelligent Monitoring Systems at Liverpool University. The product uses a ceiling-mounted optical sensor coupled with novel software to monitor and analyse changes to inhabitants providing an alarm on a remote linked PC.

TRITEC became involved with the project at an early stage, helping to form the technical specification of the optical sensor and indicating the best technical approaches to adopt. We were able to offer the client a complete design service starting with the selection on the optical sensor, viewing optics and top level electronic design and moving onto detailed digital design (using an integrated image sensor, microprocessor and logic array) and power supply design (using a Power-over-Ethernet module). more >>
