John lives in a semi-detached house close to town. He suffered with serious diabetes and a slight depression ever since he had lost his wife 6 years before. He did not care much about his insulin treatment (hardly seeing his therapist) or a healthy lifestyle (eating regularly, physical activities etc.) and he did not socialize much. He also hardly tested his blood sugar level. However, he clearly did not dislike modern technology as he called his son (Dan) on is mobile phone frequently. His son, who had a large family and a busy life in the city, visited him every weekend and even rushed from work to his father’s emergency calls, which sometimes proved to be fake. This started to have a negative impact on Dan’s efficiency at work.

Two years ago Dan met an old friend who suggested using the ENSAFE smart phone system. Dan managed to get the system for his Dad. John gradually started to use all the applications and got linked to the available care services, mainly his therapist social services. John is now providingdata regularly on his blood sugar level and even uses sensors to have his movement traced in the house, which Dan can follow up via his mobile.

Feeling safe and looked after, John’s depression vanished and he does not disturb his son unnecessarily any more. Instead, he visits his family and often meets with old friends. He does not visit his doctor more frequently than before, but these meetings are nice discussion about the user profile that the novel data the system produces about him. They discuss the ways John can keep himself in an evenbetter state of health and mood.
