There doesn't seem to be any better place that I can find to ask so I'll try my luck here:
I remember several years ago hearing Elicia interview someone who was talking about using smart devices e.g. fridge or toys like a stuffed bear to act like a watchdog timer for old folks. e.g. If granny hasn't opened the fridge door by 11am then call/text me so I can check on her. Or a stuffed toy that she can pet whenever she passes it etc. Less intrusive and stigmatising than the usual help alarms etc for old folks.
I think the interviewee was a woman, but I can't remember any other info.
I'm helping someone with a project now that this would be super relevant and useful to.
Anyone remember or have any clues other than me manually reading through 5 years' worth of show descriptions?
Cheers!

Look at 17 and 54.
17. https://embedded.fm/episodes/2013/9/3/17-facebook-status-maybe-not-dead
54. https://embedded.fm/episodes/2014/6/4/54-oh-the-hugh-manatee
My technique to find was to download the episode RSS feed and search it for some likely terms. "monitor" ended up being the one that landed me on 54.
