The Sensara app works in tandem with [in-home sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hafi) to remotely monitor the [daily habits of a senior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/callcare), so that no invasive bracelets or wearable technology is required. The app for Android and [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parentpal-parenting-app) devices makes a note of events like rising from bed, having meals and when a senior comes and goes from home. Since the app tracks these patterns over time, one of the most useful features of Sensara is that it will make note of suspicious activity, or a lack of activity, and send a notification for a family member in the loop to check in on them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Boomers](https://www.trendhunter.com/boomers) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Elderly Life-logging Apps:** Elderly life-logging apps that leverage remote monitoring and in-home sensors for tracking daily habits enable seniors to maintain their independence. - **Non-invasive Senior Care Technology:** Non-invasive senior care technology that tracks daily habits and identifies unusual activity helps families keep tabs on elderly relatives without intruding on their independence. - **Automated Caregiving Solutions:** Automated caregiving solutions that simplify the tracking of daily habits via in-home sensors and mobile apps empower seniors to maintain their routines and live independently. ### Where This Applies - **Telemedicine:** Telemedicine can leverage life-logging apps to remotely monitor and care for elderly patients without requiring in-person visits. - **Assistive Technology:** Assistive technology providers can develop non-invasive solutions for tracking daily habits and identifying unusual patterns to help seniors live independently for longer periods. - **Home Security:** Home security companies can offer automated caregiving solutions that incorporate in-home sensors and mobile apps for monitoring and alerting family members about unusual activity or changes in daily habits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [IoT-Based Elderly Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mokosmart.md) - [AI-Powered Caregiver Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiwatchfulcompanion.md) - [Wi-Fi-Enabled Senior Care Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-sensing.md) - [Wifi-Activated Elder Protection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-protection-for-elderly.md) - [Senior-Focused Wearable Health Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carepredict.md) - [Senior-Monitoring Smart Plugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threshold-care.md) - [Senior-Focused Waist-Worn Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-sensor1.md) - [AI Dementia Care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-dementia-care.md) - [Wi-Fi Elder Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-wireless-ai.md)
