The question of how to care for the ballooning older adult population is one that faces government officials, medical practitioners and care managers around the world. With the first string of baby boomers crossing into retirement age, care givers are still routinely faced with budget shortfalls and overloaded schedules that add further stress to a rewarding yet undeniably draining profession.
In the face of such need, telecare innovations like Independa's Angela interface have arisen to help care managers streamline their operations and ultimately promote quality of life for care recipients in residences as well as those who choose to age in place. In fact, the Guardian, a U.K. newspaper, recently noted that such advancements can be seen as a positive aspect of the challenges facing the global eldercare industry today.
"We now have the technology to enable many of the services to be delivered remotely that once required residential care. [What's more,] the new technologies are helping more people than ever to self-manage and maintain their well-being and independence in their own homes, for much longer than before," the source states.
That being said, the news outlet argues that such technological innovation cannot truly revolutionize and improve the eldercare industry unless it is embraced not just by individual care managers but health care practitioners and local community members alike.
Independa's caregiver support solutions have been expressly developed to enhance the quality of life enjoyed by older care recipients, in part by facilitating connectivity via video chat, email, social media and more. In addition, this technology enables care managers to provide around-the-clock remote monitoring for care recipients on-site and off, providing an appealing peace of mind for older clients and their loved ones.
