As of right now, the GE QuietCare system is only in use by senior housing communities within the United States. We are actively evaluating the opportunity to bring QuietCare into the home setting in the near future but it isn’t an option right now. Something that we do offer for the home at this time is a technology called the Intel Health Guide. GE in partnership with Intel Corporation offer the Intel® Health Guide, which is a comprehensive personal health system combining an in-home patient device with an online interface to allow clinicians to monitor patients in their homes and manage care remotely. The Health Guide includes vital sign collection, patient reminders and communications tools such as video conferencing and alerts. This might be something of interest to you for your “Home Sweet Home for Life” course. You can find more information about this technology by going here: http://www.intel.com/healthcare/ps/healthguide/location.htm Thanks, Britta Hi Stephanie,

My question is whether the GE QuietCare system can be purchased by individuals for use in their private homes. Can you please refer me to the proper person at GE to answer that question? Thank you.
