Conceived and developed by David Godfrey, a gifted inventor and founder of Alert-iT, ‘Plesiocare’ is the unique concept behind Alert-iT alarm technology. ‘Plesio’, taken from the ancient Greek, means ‘close’ and neatly describes the way the Alert-iT products are used directly by the carer. In contrast to this, the established term ‘telecare’ where ‘tele’ indicates distance, where alarm feedback is mediated through a call centre.
While devised initially as self-contained solutions for support, Alert-iT systems are equally suited for use alongside many Nurse Call systems due to their flexibility.
