Cherish and AT&T announced that Cherish Serenity — a contactless sensing device to help improve people’s lives — will feature AT&T cellular connectivity for instant-on connectivity when it ships to consumers in 2023. The collaboration will make the solution available to enterprise customers including senior living facilities, nursing homes, and healthcare providers.
Unlike cameras or wearables, Serenity uses patented radar technology that allows it to monitor people across multiple rooms in a home without additional equipment. Cherish AI runs at the edge to help detect emergency conditions such as falls and signs of rising risk to an individual’s safety, well-being, and health. AT&T collaborated with Cherish to understand the needs of the caregiver and the consumer and designed the initial wireless subsystem embedded in the device.
Cherish Serenity will ship with AT&T cellular connectivity as its default option and go online immediately when powered on. For qualified facilities, additional connectivity and resiliency will be available with the solution through FirstNet, Built with AT&T—the only network built with and for America’s first responders and the extended public safety community. Cherish Health can use FirstNet as an extended member of the public safety community that could be called upon to support first responders’ emergency response. Eligibility for FirstNet is rigorously reviewed before service is approved to help ensure that the unique capabilities of FirstNet remain dedicated to first responders and those who support them.
