Evermind is a new system that [tracks their everyday routines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/checkinbee1) and alerts relatives if there is an alarming break in the routine. This allows them the independence of living at home or with minimal supervision, but gives their loved ones peace of mind and assurance. The power adaptor system is equipped with sensors that are compatible with any North American electrical outlet at home. These sensors are able to identify when an appliance is in use. This information is sent as an email or SMS message to friends, family members or care givers using the home's WiFi network. This gives the receiver a sense of what the usual routine is and will be aware of any unusual activity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 42% | 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) > [Seniors](https://www.trendhunter.com/seniors) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smart Power Adaptors:** Opportunity to develop advanced power adaptors that track and monitor appliance usage for elderly care. - **Appliance-monitoring Systems:** Potential for innovative systems that use sensors to track daily routines and alert caregivers of any deviations. - **Independent Living Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create technology that allows seniors to live independently while providing reassurance to loved ones. ### Who This Affects Most - **Senior Care:** Opportunity for the senior care industry to implement appliance-monitoring systems for increased safety and peace of mind. - **Home Automation:** Potential for the home automation industry to integrate smart power adaptors into their systems for enhanced monitoring capabilities. - **Wireless Communication:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the wireless communication industry to develop efficient and secure methods for transmitting appliance usage data. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Senior-Monitoring Smart Plugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threshold-care.md) - [Wi-Fi-Enabled Senior Care Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-sensing.md) - [Remote Wellness Monitoring Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caregiver-aware.md) - [Wi-Fi Elder Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-wireless-ai.md) - [Wifi-Activated Elder Protection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-protection-for-elderly.md) - [IoT-Based Elderly Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mokosmart.md) - [Automated Emergency Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contactless-security-system.md) - [Elderly Monitoring Smart lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobi-smart-lamp.md) - [Remote Aging Care Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essence-smartcare.md)
