How she's doing

Signs of activity, not signs of life

No cameras and no microphones — nothing she has to wear or remember. Sensors, smart plugs and a bedside radar answer the questions you would otherwise have to ring and ask: is she home, is she up, is she moving about like she normally does, and did she remember to turn the stove off.

Right now

Eleanor is home, in the living room, and has been up and about since 7:20 this morning.

Her morning matched her usual pattern almost exactly. The afternoon did not — she is sitting far longer than she normally does, and the kitchen has barely been used.

Safety event

From the smart plugs and appliance sensors.

Auto shut-off worked

Stove — left on for 41 minutes with no motion in the kitchen

Yesterday, 7:12 pm

Auto shut-off triggered and Sarah was notified. First occurrence in the observation window — worth watching rather than alarming about, but it is exactly the event that ends independent living if it repeats.

Heart rate & breathing

Bedside radar sensor · no wearable required

Resting heart rate

84bpm

Her baseline is 71

Breathing

18/min

Her baseline is 15

Resting heart rate has been 11–14 bpm above her baseline for five nights, with breathing slightly faster. On its own that is unremarkable; alongside the nocturia and the appetite change it is another line pointing the same direction.

How long things are taking

Often more telling than whether they happened at all.

  • Time to get out of bed

    Longest since she came home

    14 min

    usually 6 min

  • Morning exercises

    Completed in full

    9 min

    usually 9 min

  • Time in the kitchen

    No cooking detected

    17 min

    usually 48 min

  • Continuous sitting, longest stretch

    Post-op guidance is to break this up hourly

    3h 05m

    usually 1h 20m

  • Bathroom visit, average

    Consistent with the overnight pattern

    usually 4 min

Read these together, not separately. Kitchen down 59% and living room up 54% is not "she moved less" — it is "she stopped cooking and started sitting." That distinction is what turns sensor data into a care decision.

Around the house

Smart plugs and appliances. Cheap sensors answering expensive questions.

  • Stove

  • Coffee maker

    Changed

    Not used today · Last used Aug 8, 7:35 am

    She has made coffee every morning for as long as the sensor has been installed. Two days without is a change.

  • Microwave

    Normal

    Used once · Today, 12:40 pm

    Consistent with the lunch she logged as eaten. No dinner preparation detected on four of the last seven evenings.

  • Television

    Changed

    On for 6h 20m · Today, from 9:10 am

    Up from a usual 2h 40m, and matching the increase in sitting time.

  • Bedside lamp

    Changed

    Switched on three times overnight · Last night

    Corroborates the three bathroom trips — the lamp and the motion sensor agree.

People and going out

Visitors, outings, and time spent with another person in the house.

  • Visitors this week

    Usually 4–5

    2 (Denise, Joanne)

  • Both were paid carers

    No family or friend visits

  • Time with another person

  • Phone calls answered

Both visitors this week were paid carers. That is not the same as company, and the loneliness screening moved from low to moderate on the day it happened.

How she's responding, graded

Her body's reply to the surgery and to this week — not a measure of her effort. She has completed 98% of her plan over the same period. Each area is graded against her own normal; the dashed line is her baseline.

Response, not effort
