Threshold Care’s Motion Wi-Fi Sensing Plug: A User-Friendly Solution for Caregivers
Threshold Care introduces Motion, a Wi-Fi sensing plug kit designed to assist caregivers in monitoring the well-being of aging loved ones. Priced at USD 59.99, the kit is available for purchase on Amazon and directly from the Threshold Care website.
In the United States, more than 48 million people care for aging relatives who live independently, often bearing significant financial, physical, and emotional burdens, according to AARP. Aiming to alleviate these pressures, Threshold Care fosters a supportive platform where caregivers can connect, share experiences, and access essential resources. The Motion plug-and-play system provides an affordable, intuitive, and privacy-conscious solution to support caregivers without requiring lifestyle adjustments for the care recipient.
Motion utilizes cutting-edge Wi-Fi sensing technology that detects movement by measuring disruptions in Wi-Fi signals, eliminating the need for intrusive cameras or microphones. Each kit includes three smart plug sensors that can be easily installed into standard outlets to create a comprehensive motion detection zone throughout the home. These sensors communicate with the existing Wi-Fi network to provide real-time updates on activity without capturing video or images, thus ensuring privacy.
Caregivers can monitor motion patterns and receive up to two weeks of historical data through the Threshold Care Mobile App, which is compatible with both Android and iOS. The app offers an intuitive interface for real-time monitoring and is designed to minimize the time investment required for ongoing oversight. There are no ongoing app check-ins, maintenance, or extensive training needed, enabling caregivers to focus on providing support when it matters most.
Threshold Care’s Motion plug kit reflects the company’s commitment to innovation, compassion, and respect for privacy, offering a solution that enables caregivers to maintain peace of mind while allowing loved ones to retain their independence.
“As life expectancy increases, so does the desire to age in place. Yet the growing need for non-intrusive, simple and accessible technology to ensure a loved one’s well-being has never been more urgent,” said Jacob Loader, managing director and co-founder of Threshold Care. “Motion delivers a practical solution that empowers caregivers with information that helps answer the vital question, ‘Is my loved one okay right now?’ without compromising privacy. It’s technology that respects the individual while providing peace of mind to those who care for them.”
