SPC CARE is a remote help application for basic mobile phones that the Spanish company just presented at MWC. Pioneering development that sets itself the goal to enhance the autonomy of our elders without compromising their safety and assuring family members that they will have a very interesting support and management tool.

Communication needs are obvious to everyone. Especially for the senior segment, which is becoming more and more numerous thanks to the extension of life expectancy. SPC, a Spanish consumer electronics company, has a specific product section for them and we have already analyzed some of them, such as the ZEUS 4G PRO. The point is that not everyone has the opportunity to use a smartphone, and this is where an affordable service comes into play.

SPC CARE, remote assistance

The aim of this application is to provide a platform for families get along better with older people without having to invest in specific technology. A new approach that offers greater peace of mind and an opportunity to empower them, to strengthen their autonomy without jeopardizing their security. The project was born from the brand’s experience in the senior segment with a 40% share of the Spanish basic mobile market, which is half a million units per year.

SPC CARE makes it possible configure the phone comprehensively remotely and has features such as receiving notifications of its use; if it is inactive for a certain period of time; monitor device location and status (on, off, battery status or charge); send helpful health reminders or contact our elders from the app itself in case of any anomaly.

Any member of the family, from a smartphone or tablet, will be able to control the main one phone settingsscreen brightness, font size or all device sound settings to select the tone and volume of calls, notifications, alarms or the keyboard, in addition to allowing you to configure the language or date and time of the device.

This remote control system also includes call settings, such as checking history or marking a missed call as seen; and SMS messages, such as selecting a message as read or deleting these records. Basic aspects for monitoring communication and checking that there is nothing unusual, avoiding fraud, as unknown numbers can be blacklisted.

Through this app, a family member or caregiver will be able to take care of them keep your device ready, check battery status; update the phone book, add or delete contacts; or manage the direct memories that the mobile phone contains. It even has the ability to remotely activate an audio alert if the user loses the phone to make it easier to find. This is where GPS comes in, which can also be used to define security perimeters.

SPC CARE will debut later this year with the launch of a new Polaris brand mobile phone. Very interesting as remote assistance for elderly people.
