BeClose is a small but interesting start-up in Tysons Corner, Virginia. They make home monitoring systems for the elderly, allowing them to stay at home even when they may be fragile or lack motility. The system consists of a number of motion sensors as well as a weight pad (to see when they're sleeping) and a panic button that notifies the authorities and kin if there's something wrong. The new update to the UI creates a dashboard experience for caregivers. They can see, at a glance, sleep patterns, movement, and even weight. If something is amiss - like they're not getting out of bed after a certain time or whether they're leaving the house too little or too much - you can either call in to see what's up or go visit. Anyway, would it kill you to maybe go visit your mother? Hmm?SILICON LABORATORIES SI INTERNATIONAL SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY SCIENTIFIC GAMES SANDISK
