Is there a system that solves the problem of access to elderly residents' apartments in an emergency?
Emergency services use a lockbox system for a few of the older residents in our large inner city building. The use of this lockbox has always been a concern of mine. Is there a system that solves the problem of access to elderly residents' apartments in an emergency? If so, how?
This can be arranged with a digital key safe.
There are a couple of ways you can do this.
The strata manager can grant access to the emergency service, ambulance, etc. When the emergency services get to the building, they'll be granted access, or they'll have to call the head office to be let into the building.
Another way to organise this is with a digital key safe. If five apartments require emergency access and don’t have digital apartment doors, the building can install a digital key safe for those apartments. The key safe would only be for the use of emergency services for access into those lots.
Emergency services would get to the building, access the digital key safe and gain access to the elderly residents' apartments.
A third option would be to place a digital door lock on the apartments. Emergency services can be authorised access to those apartment doors.

Jake Sharp is the founder of MiMOR, a building management and communication software platform. His path into proptech began in 2013, when he launched a body corporate cleaning business that grew to service hundreds of buildings across Victoria with over 35 staff. Working closely with strata complexes, he spotted a gap: most buildings lacked simple tools for managing moving and common area bookings, tenant & owner details, and communication. In 2015 he founded MiMOR to solve it. Today, MiMOR serves hundreds of residential and commercial complexes across Australia and New Zealand. It offers booking systems, centralised building information, issue reporting, a marketplace, digital fobs and Email and SMS tools that simplify living in and managing virtually any building. He believes every building no matter the age or size should have a software system today.
