Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Saskatchewan Polytechnic
$25,000.00
Lone Worker Monitoring System
FY 2017-18
Summary
Kasiel Solutions Inc. (Kasiel) created the ORA wearable safety devices and has focused them on the seniors'market. When the senior citizen presses the emergency button, their loved ones receive a notification and a livemap of where the senior is located. In general, a loved one would be a contact for one or two seniors (e.g., theirparents). Kasiel is now moving into the lone worker market, where a company may have hundreds ofemployees and a single supervisor may receive alerts from 20 staff. The current system dashboard used byKasiel for the ORA system is not optimal for this new structure. They require a second corporate dashboard forsimplified billing and employee tracking management. This second ORA dashboard will need to work withinthe existing monitoring system. Kasiel is seeking the expertise of Saskatchewan Polytechnic to help prototypea dashboard solution for the new lone worker market that would integrate with existing components, whilefilling gaps in the current ORA systems.
