- Smart ambient monitoring application programming interface
(API) available in the Brightlayer experience hub digital catalog
on a subscription basis
- Eaton seeking partnerships with remote monitoring
application providers to use smart breaker data to provide more
complete ‘context for care’
Intelligent power management company Eaton announced the release
of a new digital product targeting the healthcare sector.
Leveraging Eaton’s smart breaker technology, the smart ambient
monitoring Application Programming Interface (API) enhances energy
usage data using proprietary machine learning and artificial
intelligence (AI) algorithms. API access can be granted on a
subscription basis to owners/users of Eaton’s smart circuit
breaker. The result is a digital abstract of a resident’s
activities of daily living based on their usage of a home’s
electrical devices and appliances.

In a study completed by Eaton’s Center for Intelligent Power,
the accuracy of this approach is proven to be as effective as home
health and wellbeing monitoring from more prevalent technologies,
such as passive infrared-based systems. But the real benefit of the
approach can be seen in the marriage of sensor-based technology and
energy-based data.
“Sensor-based approaches are excellent in providing data
regarding the comings and goings—general movement—of residents, but
the real benefit of our approach comes from the marriage of
sensor-based technology and energy-based data," said Christopher
Berke, director, Digital Healthcare, Eaton. "By adding the rich
data from the electrical energy that is used in a household, we can
go beyond proof of life, and get into incredible detail about the
activities that make up a person’s day-to-day life. When the data
points to a trending activity that is out of the ordinary or that
could indicate a potential problem, a loved one or care provider
can be alerted and a decision can be made on a course of action,
like a call or a visit.”
Energy usage data can be grouped around typical activities of
daily living like morning/evening routines and meal
preparation—practically any activity that involves consumption of
electrical energy. Once the AI has ‘learned’ what normal looks like
for a particular household, it can become predictive of potential
problems. For example, once an evening/sleep routine has been
established, anomalies like more than normal bathroom visits could
be flagged, and an intervention could be scheduled before a small
issue becomes chronic.
The smart ambient monitoring API not only informs caregiving
that can lead to better health outcomes, but it also addresses two
macro trends in the healthcare space—namely, the growing population
of senior citizens that will eventually need some form of care and
the growing shortage of healthcare workers to provide that care.
Berke notes that, “Smart ambient monitoring can help fill a
significant gap in the healthcare market, allowing monitoring
services to use data to better identify and address health issues
and apply the right level of care at the right time.”
