ZTE Health partners with GreenPeak to provide Senior Lifestyle System that will allow seniors to stay at home for 5 to 10 years longer, delivering huge savings for governments as well as families
GREENPEAK Technologies, the industry leading smart home semiconductor/system company, and ZTE Health have signed a partnership agreement to develop Smart Home applications and to provide smart solutions for the world’s aging population. To meet that need, ZTE Health and GreenPeak Technologies are partnering to roll out a Smart Senior Lifestyle monitoring solution to telecom operators and local governments worldwide. This new application enables people to live longer at home independently while providing peace of mind to their caregivers and family.

The Senior Lifestyle System is an intelligent and self-learning solution, utilizing GreenPeak’s expertise in Smart Home sensor communication and Sensara’s cloud based algorithm, has proven its excellence in use for many years in nursing homes. The system, with advanced behavior pattern recognition capabilities, learns the normal day-to-day activities of people in their home and sends alerts to family and caregivers when something goes amiss. 
 
The system is unobtrusive and ensures privacy since it does not require people to wear devices and it does not use cameras. A field-proven solution, it empowers children and their elderly parents to privately and securely share lifestyle information, enabling the seniors to feel safe and live longer at home independently, while their children feel secure that their parents are safe and well.
 
Mr. He Shiyou, president of ZTE Health and executive director of the Board of ZTE Corporation, said the application will allow elderly people to stay at home for 5 to 10 years longer, which means huge savings for families as well as for the governments on investments in nursing homes.
 
"ZTE Health wants to offer its customers and their family the highest possible quality of life and contribute to a harmonious community. By taking advantage of information technology and cloud services, we increase the efficiency of the healthcare industry and support of elderly people to meet the high level and personalized requirements of mass consumers. The initial focus of the cooperation with GreenPeak is the Senior Lifestyle application. In the next phase, we will also develop other Smart Home solutions," Mr. He said.
 
Mark Rutte, the Dutch Prime Minister, cited the GreenPeak-ZTE Health partnership as an example of Dutch and Chinese collaboration, to address the care for the world’s growing elderly population. In China, for instance, the Chinese government on both a national and local level, is increasingly looking towards smart solutions to deal with challenges of supporting seniors. 
 
“Nearly 200 million elderly people live in China, of which 50 million are living alone. A Senior Lifestyle System allows children and their elderly parents to privately and securely share lifestyle information, enabling the seniors to feel safe and live longer at home independently. With the support of a leading company like ZTE, we expect the Smart Home revolution to quickly accelerate,” says Frans Frielink, Vice President of GreenPeak. “This solution creates new opportunities for operators and service providers and we believe that the system provided by ZTE Health and supported by GreenPeak Technologies will become a worldwide success.”
 
Headquartered in Utrecht, The Netherlands, GreenPeak Technologies is an award-winning fabless semiconductor/system company and the world recognized leader in the IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee market with a rich offering of semiconductor products and software technologies for smart home data communications and the Internet of Things.
 
ZTE Health, part of the Shanghai, China-based ICT industry leader ZTE Group, utilizes information technology and cloud service to increase the efficiency of healthcare industry to meet the high level and personalized requirements of mass consumers.
