Evermind helps seniors, and those who need extra support, maintain independence and gives caregivers peace of mind

E

vermind, a breakthrough
technology available at www.
evermind.us, protects those
who live alone (such as aging seniors)
and provides peace of mind that the
loved one is okay by detecting when
electrical appliances are switched on
and off.
Evermind’s unique, unobtrusive design uses three
sensors with built-in wireless
Internet to monitor electrical
appliances––such as a coffee pot, television or bedside
lamp. Family members can
receive text messages or email
notifications when an appliance is used
or not used within a specific time period––primarily when changes in a daily
routine could be cause for concern.
For example, if an aging grandmother
doesn’t turn on the evening news, her
grandson will be notified via text and
can check on her.

In the United States, more than 11
million people over the age of 65 live
alone and more than 61 million have
physical or intellectual disabilities and
these numbers are growing. In today’s
fast-paced society, family members
need better ways to check on the

health and safety of their aging parents
and grandparents or adult children
with disabilities.
Evermind is a first-of-its-kind solution that supports independent living
while respecting privacy by monitoring daily rituals and signaling that everything is okay when it’s not possible

to call or drop by.
Dr. Dave Gilbert, Evermind’s cofounder and CEO, is an experienced
technologist and entrepreneur who developed Evermind for his 96-year-old
grandmother to be able to stay in her
own home. Today, families are using it
across America to address
a variety of needs and challenges.
“My mother-in-law is
very independent, and I respect that,” says Linda, age
70, caregiver to motherin-law Lois, age 96. “With
Evermind, I feel reassured,
and I really have peace of mind. Now,
when I call her, I can just call her to
chat because I already know she’s
okay.”
With Evermind, you can plug in, turn
on and stay connected. For more information visit www.Evermind.us.
