Sagevision
The Internet Access System Inspired By, And Designed For, Seniors
Sagevision is the first complete Internet Access System developed specifically to empower novices to get online easily and quickly,without having to learn complicated computer techniques. Content and navigation on the Sagevision Web site are carefully configured to minimize confusion and eliminate difficult computer jargon.
The Sagevision hardware is manufactured by MSU Devices Inc. and can be connected to a TV or standard computer monitor. This powerful, yet simple, Internet access device was designed from the ground up to deliver an uncompromising Web surfing experience, even for first-time users. And BSQUARE Corporation's unique remote management software greatly reduces the obsolescence so common with PCs by allowing new interface, navigation, and content features to be added remotely - and without any end-user involvement.
Sagevision is currently installed at a number of senior living facilities and will be offered directly to individual consumers later this year. To be placed on our list to receive early notification of Sagevision's availability in your area, contact Patricia Martig at pmartig@sageport.com.
The Sagevision Solution for Senior Living Communities
Sageport provides Senior Living Providers with an all-in-one package that includes a full-featured Internet access device; a senior-friendly user-interface and browser; and both dial-up and high-speed ISP access to the Sagevision community portal and the entire Internet. Installing Sagevision in common areas provides residents with a state-of-the art amenity: the Internet. And once online, Sageport's straightforward navigation tools enable seniors to move about the Internet effortless and enjoy the wealth of resources available to them online.
The Sagevision service bundle also features the latest in remote management capabilities, developed and supported by strategic partner, BSQUARE. This cutting-edge technology supports all deployed Sagevision systems with software application updates and online diagnostics that are performed without involving the end-user. The ability to upgrade "the brains" of the Internet appliance remotely also means the equipment can last years longer than the all-too-quickly-obsolete PC. Seniors cite the overly complex PC as the number one obstacle standing between them and the Internet.
Easy-to-use Internet access devices, combined with Sagevision's onsite training and peer-mentoring program, have succeeded in making the Internet less confusing and more accessible to seniors. A survey of senior living locales in Washington state where Sagevision is deployed produced some impressive results. Prior to Sagevision, just 2-3% of the residents had been online. One year later, 37-53% classified themselves as frequent Sagevision users. A remarkable accomplishment.
Sageport's skilled team of customer service representatives can set up Sagevision both as a common area amenity and as a personal information device for residents in their individual rooms. And since Sagevision is scaleable, it can be expanded or contracted to fit a company's specific needs. Sageport can provide multiple solutions.
Sageport offers turn-key Internet connectivity that not only brings down the physical and psychological walls separating seniors from the Internet, but which truly empowers seniors to grow, change, and enhance the quality of their lives.
