August
23, 2015 -- Advances in home security and technology have allowed people to
feel more confident about the safety of their family, pets, and belongings when
away from home.
Products and services available through the State Farm Home Protection and Automation webpage help
protect homes and families from the unexpected through exclusive offers and
discounts with select providers. The new Connected Care page provides State Farm customers with
educational content and exclusive offers for products and services that can
help them live in their homes with confidence and independence.
Beginning
today, State Farm customers will also be able to take advantage of exclusive
products and services offered by Silicon Valley start-up Lively, a medical alert and
activity monitoring service that helps people live in their home with
confidence.
The Lively system features four activity tracking sensors, hub and
a safety watch that doubles as a personal emergency response system and step
tracker.
"At
State Farm, we help to protect families and individuals from the unexpected and
realize their dreams," said Erin Olander, State Farm Innovation
Manager.
"By growing the presence of the connected home platform to
include products targeted at aging adults, State Farm is continuing to help
provide diverse solutions to meet a wide range of customer needs."
The
Lively system is as simple as plugging in the power hub, placing the tracking
sensors around the house, putting on the safety watch and activating the
account online.
Once activated, the system allows the user to receive reminders
for medication, track steps, or request emergency assistance via live operators
– 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. State Farm customers are eligible to receive
the Lively system through the Connected Care webpage at a discounted price.
"We
are so pleased to be working with State Farm, the leader in the insurance
industry. This relationship will only further our mission of helping older
adults stay safe and independent longer," says David Glickman, COO and
co-founder of Lively.

Farm is promoting technology and innovation to assist our customers around the
