Home Health Systems
Description
As an aging individual, accessing healthcare can be a burden with limited options. Aging in place empowers seniors to stay independent, while maintaining access to social supports and services necessary to live safely at home. Current solutions such as hospitals and care homes fall short in providing adequate quality of care due to patient volumes and a lack of infrastructure. To address this gap in healthcare, Home Health Systems developed an innovative wearable medical device, SafetyPatch, to monitor health and deliver effective care.
SafetyPatch measures the 5 main vital signs, as well as records impacts, falls, and location. The information is accessible through a cloud-based system, available on medical softwares for healthcare providers and a phone application for caregivers. Allowing for remote monitoring, medical alerts are triggered when measurements are outside of the desirable range, prioritized based on severity assessed using NEWS2 scores. As such, necessary care can be delivered by the healthcare team. Home Health Systems is sharing a one-stop solution that enables seniors to retain independence and grow older in comfort. Incoming trends show that older adults will make up 25% of the population by 2036. Delivering effective and efficient care is a growing concern; healthcare professionals want instant access to medical grade measurements to analyze health trends for their patients. By removing the obstacle of overburdened care facilities, SafetyPatch equips caregivers with the only resource necessary to ensure safety and peace of mind regarding the health of aging persons.
