Home & Community Based Services

Healthsense provides technology solutions that enable “aging in place”. For home and community based settings, these applications include:

• Wireless pendants and pull cords used to call for assistance
• Wireless non-intrusive sensors to automatically detect a need for help or changes in health
• Advanced monitors and prompts for assistance with activities of daily living
• Telehealth capabilities to remotely collect readings for weight, blood pressure, and other physiological measurements

Identification of a need for immediate assistance or a significant change in daily routine enables a care provider to be as proactive as possible in the care of that individual. This results in improved care outcomes and enhanced quality of life. Consider the costs and complications of a individual that is unable to call for help and goes unattended – this type of event can result in the older adult needing to leave their home unncessarily. Early detection of issues drives proactive care.


Healthsense technology differs in that it is specifically designed to slow the progression thru the care continuum while enhancing quality of life. Healthsense technologies are doing this by providing:

• Scalable solutions that adapt to the changing needs of older adults
• High confidence automatic call for assistance to bring help when needed
  
• Comprehensive ADL information for proactive care interventions
  
• Flexible monitoring and prompting for assistance with the activities
  of daily living
  
• Lowest incremental-cost telehealth facilitating long-term usage
