Activity Monitoring
Activity monitoring involves the use of sensors to passively track and interpret daily activities such as dining habits, medication intake, activity levels, and sleep patterns. By analyzing this data, Zemplee's technology provides insights into the individual's health, well-being, and safety, enabling caregivers and family members to stay informed and intervene when necessary

Patient Activity Monitoring (PAM)
Patient Activity Monitoring focuses on tracking patients’ daily activities, such as movement, sleep patterns, and routines. This is particularly helpful for seniors and individuals with conditions affecting mobility, cognition, or independence. Using passive sensors and motion detectors, PAM systems, like Zemplee, provide insights into behavior changes, potential fall risks, and activity levels, helping caregivers and family members ensure the patient's safety and well-being.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
Remote Patient Monitoring is a healthcare technology that involves monitoring patients' health data outside of traditional healthcare settings. Through wearable devices, sensors, and connected medical equipment, RPM gathers health metrics such as blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood glucose.

Vitals Monitoring
Vitals monitoring refers to the continuous or periodic tracking of key physiological parameters that indicate the health status of an individual. These parameters, often called "vital signs," typically include: Body Temperature: An essential indicator of metabolic and immune health. Heart Rate (Pulse): Monitors the number of heartbeats per minute, which provides insights into cardiovascular health. Respiration Rate: Tracks breaths per minute, reflecting respiratory function. Blood Pressure: Measures the force of blood against artery walls, crucial for identifying conditions like hypertension or hypotension. Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Measures how much oxygen is carried in the blood, vital for assessing respiratory efficiency. Sleep (hours): Measures how many hours of sleep and the types of sleep (Light, Deep, REM) someone achieves.
