JubileeTV, a new TV-based platform focused on improving independence and connection for aging Americans, has officially announced its public launch. Moving forward, the company’s solutions can be used by anyone to simplify the TV experience for seniors, while simultaneously allowing family members to stay connected with, provide care for, and check in on the well-being of their loved ones from a remote location. More on the company’s technological setup will reveal how it features a rather straightforward TV experience for seniors, with remote television troubleshooting available for family members. Alongside that, there is a video calling functionality which goes a long way to keep families connected. Markedly enough, families can also come expecting uninterrupted access of an activity feed so to better understand the viewing and movement patterns of their loved one. Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, though, we begin from the promise of a straightforward TV experience, where JubileeTV brings forth a user-friendly interface designed specifically for seniors. Furthermore, users retain the option to operate their system through a new custom-built voice remote, their existing controller, or if not that, they can also control the TV remotely via the JubileeTV app. Such a system, like you can guess, makes it possible for seniors to enjoy their favorite programs without the stress of navigating confusing technology platforms.
“Millions of Americans care for aging family members from a distance, but we lack senior-first technology solutions to meet the needs of these families,” said Ashish D. Aggarwal, co-founder and CEO of JubileeTV. “Because televisions are already the devices seniors use the most, with the largest screens and loudest speakers, we believe they can be a powerful platform for remote care and connection. JubileeTV allows seniors to regain control of their TV experience, while creating an in-home hub that gives family members the comfort of knowing their loved ones are cared for and socially connected.”
To expand upon the prospect focused on remote television control and troubleshooting, we ought to mention how family members can bank upon JubileeTV mobile app to address challenges like accessing streaming services, changing inputs, and navigating channels. On top of that, the stated app is also well-equipped to deliver real-time view of what’s on the television screen with full virtual remote control. This helps in saving time and energy, as well as eliminating the anxiety often associated with TV operations. Moving on, JubileeTV even keeps users connected at all times by enabling family members to share photos with each other. The senior members, in particular, can enjoy regular, full-screen video calls on the TV, which can automatically connect without actively asking them to answer. Making the picture even better is the fact that calls and messages never interrupt the user’s viewing experience, as TV just resumes what they were already watching.
A major benefit of JubileeTV is also the potential for remote caregiving. You see, family members can actually set medication reminders and appointment alerts, providing ongoing peace of mind for when they can’t be there in person. Another detail aiding this peace of mind element is rooted in JubileeTV’s ability to provide valuable insights into a senior’s daily routine, including information about their TV viewing habits and patterns. In case that wasn’t impressive, then we must mention how the company has launched a beta version of one specific feature, which uses built-in AI-powered activity sensor technology to discreetly detect a senior’s activity, including what time they first enter the room, and how long they are present in front of the TV. Hence, families can use the given data to identify trends and any changes in activity over time.
“As a caregiver for my mother who struggles with memory issues, JubileeTV has solved many of the problems we used to face when caring for mom. There was an immediate change in my mom when we installed JubileeTV. She was happier, more engaged, and had more control over her life and her choices. She was able to interact with the world again,” said Eric Luke, a pilot user.
