The issue of eldercare has posed a quandary to civilized societies for centuries, as communities have come together to determine how to best look out for their oldest members. For all of the advancements in this area over the years, the aging Baby Boomer population has once again placed a sense of urgency on existing approaches, which has inspired innovative minds from various industrial sectors to try their hands at eldercare-centric innovations.
Recently, Market Reports Online released data on projected investment opportunities in telecare for 2014, citing the incredible progress being made in this dynamic industry.
"It is our view that a combination of factors – including the continued growth in demand for and delivery of healthcare, the sustained growth in mobile and broadband subscribers and penetration rates and the growing sophistication of the infrastructure of communication networks – is driving new opportunities in telecare across the globe," the source states.
Improvements in telecare including medical reminders and remote monitoring stand to benefit older adults in developed and developing countries alike, allowing Senior Providers to expand their scope to include members of the population who may not have otherwise sought out assistance. Often elderly individuals or their adult children only begin to seek out eldercare options once substantial physical or cognitive limitations have already developed.
Independa's telecare offerings have been specifically designed to improve the quality of life for older adults whether they are aging in place or in a senior living community.
