RIGHTMINDER
29.3.2017 08:02:54 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
With the exponential growth of the aged care industry, cost and care issues are prevalent not only in the UK and Europe but globally. ConnectUs Life Pty Ltd, a specialist care-related services provider has launched RightMinder®, an app that leverages advancements in wearable technology and the increase in availability and use of affordable smartwatches. Coinciding with the release of Android Wear 2.0, RightMinder® caters to the elderly, those in need, pre-teens and Professional Carers. Available in multiple languages and in over 136 countries, RightMinder® delivers a patent-pending solution providing fall detection, first alert monitoring and alerts, GPS location reporting, and multiple first alert carer connections.
RightMinder® has been created to connect ‘wearers’ and ‘carers’. Ben Slater, ConnectUs Life CIO says, ”Our core focus is to ensure wearers maintain meaningful independence with an efficient, yet discreet safety and security alert system. Anyone can use RightMinder® without lock-in contracts, nor do they need expensive custom hardware.” Mr Slater says, “Our First Alert Carers are not only from the family & friends orientated network, but also paid professional Carers too.”
Whilst RightMinder® is specifically designed for Android smartwatches (for wearers), the First Alert and Fall Detection functionality is also available on the mobile phone itself, so anyone can use RightMinder® without requiring a smartwatch. However, RightMinder® strongly recommends using a smartwatch for safety and as a discreet alternative to “the big red emergency button” or pendant. Mr Slater says, “We are extremely encouraged by the acceptance of smartwatch technology amongst our focus groups. Wearers have embraced smartwatch technology when paired with the RightMinder® app. RightMinder® has proven to be very easy to use and manage, despite the underlying complexity of the algorithms utilised.”
RightMinder® wearers are securely connected to one or more carers who can then monitor battery life, location and access fast-touch call buttons. If a Wearer triggers a Fall Detection, or if they send an emergency First Alert, their carers all receive immediate notifications and emails to raise an emergency response. Carers then have the option to locate or call their wearers immediately. Additionally when battery life gets low, notifications are also sent to both wearer and carers.
RightMinder® also extends to people living with disabilities such as MS, dementia, brain trauma, epilepsy and for other high need individuals.
RightMinder® helps reduce the level of dependence on professional operators and on tax funded government assistance.
Contrary to the notion that technology can be complicated, RightMinder® is easy-to-use with a user-friendly interface that has been designed to benefit users who are wearers and carers. Alerting carers is now fast, simple and discreet for any RightMinder® wearer.
The convenience that comes with using the app, in addition to the affordability of the innovative concept, gives independence and empowerment to wearers and comfort to carers like never before, even if wearers and carers live countries apart.
RightMinder® aims for peace of mind without being front of mind.
RightMinder® is available on Google Play Store for Carers and Wearers and coming soon to the Apple App Store (for Carers).

Stabilizing Grids and Cutting Costs in Half: Europe Is Banking on Grid-Relevant Storage Systems3.6.2026 15:50:00 CEST | Press release
The European battery market is scaling up at record speed: According to the latest Solar+ Report from SolarPower Europe, at the end of 2025, the installed storage fleet in the EU had reached a total capacity of 40 gigawatts (GW) and a storage capacity of 77 gigawatt hours (GWh). This is an increase of over 45 percent compared to the previous year. By 2030, the study’s Solar+ scenario forecasts that capacity will quadruple to 171 GW, while storage capacity will increase eightfold to 598 GWh. As growing solar and wind capacities place increasing demands on European grids, storage systems will need to shift electricity over many hours. As a result, the average storage duration will go up from 1.9 to 3.5 hours. This represents a technological leap that underscores the need to establish more grid-relevant storage systems. Taking place in Munich from June 23–25, ees Europe will showcase how the industry is meeting this enormous demand. As Europe’s largest exhibition for batteries and energy
