Robert Herron, one of the Founders of EyeWatch LIVE™, was driven by his own personal experience with his mother in a memory care community in Minnesota. Robert lived over 500 miles from his mother. His mother repeatedly suffered from overnight falls that subsequently led to hospital visits. Robert along with his siblings and Aunt Bonnie anguished over how to protect her and prevent falls. They decided to set up a camera in their mother’s room and watch the camera in 2 hour shifts from 8pm-8am. This was helpful but they needed more hands on care. In the end as the last resort Robert ended up hiring a night nurse at $38 hour.

Robert had to watch his mom go through all the phases of community elder care and felt there had to be a way to help all elderly people in their particular phase of life.

Robert began researching and learned that several states and many more to come have passed laws requiring nursing institutions to allow cameras in resident rooms, the idea came to him to create a solution that includes AI & HI that solves many problems and offers benefits to residents, families, and the communities.

So the idea of a live camera monitoring augmented with artificial intelligence was the solution and EyeWatch LIVE™ was born. This product can be used in all phases of elder care to give caretakers peace of mind each night whether it is to prevent night time falls or just knowing someone is watching over your loved one to keep them safe.

Robert is continuing his mom, Marilyn’s legacy by going the extra mile to help others. Marilyn raised six children and was always involved in helping others.
