# Connected Care Systems Kando Links Wearable Alerts with Room-Based Communication By Amy Duong | Published 2026-06-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kando References: [futurewave.eu](https://www.futurewave.eu/work/kando)  Kando is a care management system designed by [Futurewave](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oboy) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jubileetv) 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.
