ERNIE Friends & Family App app for iPhone and iPad

Ernie Digital is a UK based provider of 21st-century COVID-proof solutions for the elderly in residential care homes and domiciliary care.

Ernie Connects uses world first “touch to talk” technology, giving every resident the gift to video connect with their family and friends by simply touching the picture of their friend or family member on a dedicated iPad or tablet. Ernie Connects allows family events to be shared; music, radio and films to be enjoyed. It features games, dementia friendly apps and local cctv links. This helps to occupy and entertain the resident to ease the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness and boredom.

Ernie Connects provides a video link to the resident’s GP, District Nurse and Healthcare Professionals. This provides huge benefits to the resident, care home staff and the Healthcare Professionals. It enables a quicker more efficient medical service, and in times of lockdown reduces movement in and out of the home.

The Administration Portal shows every resident in the home and provides a one key connection from the admin desk to the resident. Provides motion detection, audio and video monitoring when requested and selected.

Ernie Connects is fully compliant with GDPR and regulatory authority standards and requirements, in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Ernie Careplan is an industry leading care plan and nursing administration program using icon designated care tasks for recording actions at the point of care.
Ernie Careplan takes you from the baseline risk assessment, through to a comprehensive care plan. The central portal shows every resident with an overview of the status of every care intervention for the care home.
Ernie careplan records every daily care plan action, a full range of ad hoc actions, risks, vitals, accidents and ICE. Comprehensive reporting suite, each care category downloadable to pdf. Vitals graphs and full home calendar and diary functions.

Ernie Tele-meds provides remote patient monitoring using wearable medical devices. Heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, SPO2 measurements are live streamed to clinicians who can provide Informed responses via our Ernie Connects virtual consultation process.

New wearable technology is being developed and added all the time.

This reduces the need for GPs & district nurses to visit the care home as well as speeding up both diagnosis and therapeutic care.
