Research and evidence
Howz is built on published science. Our algorithms were developed with the University of Lancaster, and our approach has been tested in NHS studies with the UK Dementia Research Institute and Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
Published research
Select any paper to read it. Together they set out the science behind how Howz measures routine and detects change.
Smart meter monitoring
Track routine through energy usage
Connecting a standard home smart meter to the Howz app provides an unintrusive measurement of changes in routine.
Insights without compromising privacy
If a home is already fitted with a smart meter, there is no need for an engineer to visit. Connecting it to the Howz app takes minutes, and data is sent over a highly secure channel.
Spot the difference between usual and unusual
A change in routine is often the earliest signal of a change in health and wellbeing. Howz learns a person’s daily routine and uses it to detect short term anomalies and long term changes.
