As the U.S. healthcare system and assisted living industry struggles to meet the needs of an aging population, medical practitioners and care managers alike are turning increasingly to technology-enabled eldercare solutions – and Independa is leading the way. According to Rock Health, a group that backs innovative startups in the medical field and related industries, a growing number of corporations are investing in digital remedies to some of the most pressing issues facing eldercare professionals.

Citing statistics from a March report published by medical market research firm Kalorama Information, the source stated that “a confluence of factors have led to the growth of remote patient monitoring tools including an aging population, dwindling healthcare resources and penalties for readmissions.”

Rock Health deemed Independa one of the groundbreaking businesses that is making use of remote monitoring technology to enhance the quality of care that assisted living communities can provide for their residents. As the analysts from Kalorama Information stated in their report, utilizing telemonitoring services in the context of eldercare is a cost-effective method that can help keep day-to-day expenses low, even as care recipients benefit from the attentiveness of continual observation.

How can this be achieved? By enabling care managers to use their existing resources more efficiently through our Caregiver Web App. This technology allows professionals to monitor their recipients through LG televisions. Rather than hiring more staff members tocheck in on elderly clientele, care managers can schedule reminders and solicit responses from their recipients to confirm that appointments are met and medication is taken. In addition to reducing overhead costs, Independa also enables care recipients to retain their independence to a greater extent. Our Angela software gives these individuals the ability to connect directly with care managers and loved ones via Facebook, Skype and email
