Kando is a care management system designed by Futurewave for residential care and assisted living facilities. The system consists of three connected components: the Kando Button, the Kando Box, and facility-wide communication hubs.
The Kando Button is a wearable device that can be attached to clothing or a bed and allows residents to request assistance with a single press. Visual LED signals and vibration feedback confirm that a request has been received. The Kando Box is a wall-mounted unit that connects to an existing television and transforms the screen into a communication interface for residents and care staff.
Communication hubs connect resident rooms and staff networks across a facility. Requests initiated through the wearable device are transmitted through the connected system rather than relying on manual reporting.

Kando Links Wearable Alerts with Room-Based Communication
Trend Themes
-
Wearable Care Alerts — Single-press wearables create a path toward faster resident support, lower reporting friction, and more responsive assisted living workflows.
-
Room-based Communication — Television-connected interfaces bring care coordination into familiar resident environments, expanding the role of in-room screens beyond entertainment.
-
Connected Facility Networks — Integrated hubs linking residents, rooms, and staff networks support real-time visibility across care settings and reduce dependence on manual escalation.
Industry Implications
-
Assisted Living — Residential care operators gain new digital infrastructure models that blend resident autonomy with centralized staff coordination.
-
Healthcare Technology — Care management platforms illustrate growing demand for connected hardware, feedback systems, and facility-wide communication software.
-
Smart Building Systems — Senior living facilities represent an emerging market for embedded communication networks that connect personal devices with room-level infrastructure.
