Today is held in Paris the 3rd edition of BIG BANG SANTE ***, a conference on the major issues of health home health and digital health home care technologies. Nice plot to talk about the Aladdin lamp that already dazzles Americans. But the Domalys SME is already elsewhere, much further. It has just recruited its first representative in the US and will receive an Innovation Award at the famous electronics show, the CES in Las Vegas, from January 2019. Presentation of Center Presse *.
The two founders and associate directors of Domalys: Maximilien Petitgenêt and Arnaud Brillaud. An SME, Domalys, based in Fontaine-le-Comte, was selected in the "smart health home" category for its smart lamp called "Aladin", marketed since the beginning of this year. In particular by Arkéa (Crédit Mutuel), which has been offering Aladin since September as part of its teleassistance contracts, accompanied by two options designed by Domalys.
The consumer electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas is the Mecca of technology innovation in electronics. Suffice to say that Americans, Chinese or Japanese are jostling, especially to try to win one of the precious awards for the most original inventions. In early January 2019, a little Frenchman will slip into the charts. An SME, Domalys, based in Fontaine-le-Comte, has been selected in the "smart health home" category for its intelligent lamp called "Aladin", marketed since the beginning of this year, first with homes pensions and now from individuals. A lamp made in the workshops of Metaleo in Isle-Jourdain, the parent company of Domalys, and by friendly SMEs.
"A magic lamp with a genius inside"
The idea of Aladdin is simple, even if its implementation is not: "communicating" lamps (usually three, one per room) are installed in the housing of an elderly person. When it rises, the lamp comes on. Basic. More interesting: if the lamp detects something abnormal, a fall for example, it immediately alerts the person who follows the elderly: nurse EHPAD; member of the family, helping, telemonitoring service … "A magic lamp, with a genius inside," stresses Maximilien Petitgenêt to define this invention that learns over time the habits of its user. Aladin can thus give the alert if the user's nights become abnormally agitated, if he gets up too often at night … "What attracted the members of the jury of the Awards, explains Maximilien Petitgenêt, it is the universal side Aladdin. Many of the innovations that are offered at the CES Awards are gadgets. There, we have a product that saves lives. "
After less than a year of placing on the market (in October 2017), Aladin already works very hard on the French market. Many EHPAD have adopted it, a partnership has just been made with "Habitat com la Vienne". This social housing company wanted to equip the housing of its senior tenants volunteers to measure more closely the effectiveness of the lamp. Two large health home support association federations (ADMR, UNA) have already signed a partnership with Domalys. Arkéa (Crédit Mutuel) has been offering Aladin since September as part of its teleassistance contracts, accompanied by two options designed by Domalys: a Skype camera and screen system that Aladin can trigger automatically when needed, and a GPS bracelet with alert call for seniors who are moving away from health home.
This dazzling start has given wings to Domalys executives who are now looking abroad. Their first target: the United States, where they have just recruited a representative based in Boston. "The USA is a big market, explains Arnaud Brillaud. They are more focused than in Europe on prevention and they are more open to smart health connected objects. This is all the more so since in the nursing homes across the Atlantic the slightest incident is reflected in one out of every two cases by legal action! Aladin now accounts for 40% of Domalys' turnover: a share expected to grow even if the Fontaine company continues to develop its other products for the comfort of independent seniors or retirement homes.
According to the EPAC data, in 2010, 85% of all emergency room emergencies for people aged 65 and over were due to a fall.This proportion increased with age: 71% aged 65 to 69, 78% aged 70 to 74, 85% aged 80 to 84, 93% aged 85 to 89, 95% aged 90 and over. According to data from death certificates, in 2013, in France, 9,334 people over 65 died from an accidental fall. **Insecurity is on the one hand a problem faced by people becoming dependent, but also a problem for family and caregivers at health home or in nursing homes, worried about leaving their loved ones exposed to difficulties of autonomy.
There are 8.5 to 11 million carers in France according to different criteria. In most cases, this is a child or a family member, but more widely also a neighbor or professional caregiver. These people often suffer from the place that loss of autonomy of their loved one takes in their daily lives.Solutions already exist today in terms of health home help, remote assistance, furniture adapted to the health home of the dependent person living alone … However, the fall remains one of the major causes of insecurity.** Weekly Epidemiological Bulletin of July 11, 2017
