Since 1978, Database Systems Corp. (DSC) has been providing technology and software for thousands of clients including our U.S. Military as well as law enforcement agencies throughout the country.

DSC provides a calling service for community service organizations called eCARE. This online service is a calling program that contacts senior citizens at home to ensure they are OK. This service is ideally suited for small to medium communities where there are a limited number of seniors enrolled. For larger communities, DSC offers an affordable CARE Phone System that can be purchased.

Police and Sheriff's organizations as well as senior community groups and care givers can benefit from this service. Instead of managing computer systems, modems and telephone lines, administrators can focus on the enrollment and management of seniors within the community. Administration can be performed on any device that has internet access from virtually any location.

Senior citizens can enroll in this program through local community organizations such as their police or county sheriff's office. Enrollment is easy, yet it provides the senior with flexible calling schedules and multiple contacts in the event of an emergency.

DSC has prepared a comparison between CARE Systems vs eCARE services. Rather than using a dedicated phone line attached to your computer, eCARE calls are made from a bank of phone lines maintained at our call center. Considering the cost of today's phone lines, several seniors could be called with just that savings alone.

• No phone line(s) or monthly phone bills.
  
• No software licensing or maintenance.
  
• No computer and telecom need be purchased and maintained.
  

eCARE Is A Service that uses our computer phone systems and software to place calls to seniors living at home alone. The senior is instructed to acknowledge the call using the "Press 1" option on the phone keypad. If the call is not answered or the senior does not acknowledge the call, an alert sequence is initiated that calls or emails family or friends of the senior.

The senior can also call our 800 number and check in using our I'M OK eCARE feature. If the senior has no one to check in on them, the calls and alerts can be sent to the eCARE management center which is typically the local police or sheriff's office. An alert is also posted online informing the center that the senior did not respond.

You can create and manage your eCARE account for free using our online registration process. With this account, you can enroll seniors and other community members using various different profiles:

• Telephone Reassurance Calls - single and multiple calls per day.
• Medication Reminder Calls - single and multiple calls per day.
• Home Alone Children Calls - check up on children left at home alone.

In the past, telephone reassurance programs were operated from within a police and sheriff's office, with a computer system connected to a analog telephone line through a modem or telephony card. The computer is usually maintained in a busy office, and in many instances, this environment is not ideal for this technology.

eCARE eliminates the need to maintain a computer with a phone line and communications equipment. All that is needed is a laptop or mobile device connected to the internet and your organization can provide the same service to your seniors. No more outage when you lose power. No more phone issues or computer management and maintenance problems.

DSC maintains a remote data center that is ideal for this type of calling program. With multiple phone systems, hundreds of digital phone lines, and redundant power and telecommunications, DSC provides a 24/7 operating environment. Using this secure data and calling center, DSC provides calling programs for both private and public organizations, as well as our CARE Service that is provided to individual subscribers to our services.
