TED Podcast Extras – Independa




The Elder Divide show

Summary: <a href="http://independa.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Independa</a> is a cloud-based software solution from our customer organization to the care recipient to the personal caregiver. Care recipients enjoy social integration and important appointment and medicine reminders through the world’s first and only TV with embedded remote care services. While the organization and the friends and family of the care recipient engage through a comprehensive integrated online portal to establish and track alerts for when something isn’t quite right, appointments through a shared calendar, fully integrated health, activity and safety metrics, and more. Uses: - Senior Living adds unique amenities in your community, increasing your occupancy, value, and customer satisfaction. - Senior Care beyond “I’ve fallen and can’t get up!" - Home Care providers use it to expand services while reducing costs yet improving margins. Leverage your best assets – your people – to keep care recipients home longer and more safely. The AnyTV Companion lets the Remote Care technology appear on the vast majority of TVs in the United States and hundreds of millions worldwide. It’s ideal for those installations where an investment in a relatively new HDMI-enabled smart TV has already been made. The functionality available to a remote care recipient will be identical to our typical installation where our software resides within an LG Commercial TV. Caregiver Dashboard for all features chosen, as well as technology interfaces designed to be extremely easy for the caregivers and the care recipients alike. The dashboard is at the core of the solution, providing an easy-to-use, centralized view into all functionality. The control panel for engaging with and monitoring all features chosen and deployed. The dashboard can be accessed via the caregiver web application through any computer or the mobile application or smart phone device. Software Interface is delivered to the care recipient through a friendly, simple user interface called Angela. It offers a fun and inviting antidote to the number one issue for the elderly looking to remain independent: social isolation. Featuring an expertly designed and easy to use, intuitive interface, it comes ready to use with larger screen fonts, higher contrast and brighter colors geared to the needs of the elderly. Available for televisions or tablets. Angela options: - Video chat. - Integrated health information. - Important appointment reminders. - Games. - Medication reminders. - Easy family photo and message sharing. - Community events and dining options. And more... Cloud Software Solution ensures that you have the flexibility to choose the features that are right for your needs, at any time, for any individual, and over the months and years of that individual’s changing needs. Features can be added as needed and are always up-to-date. Examples: Health Monitoring is integrated from the get go, even though it may not be the right time for it just yet for any particular recipient. Features: - Smart Reminders. - Broadcast Messaging. - Integrated Monitoring. Seems like an interesting concept as almost everyone can interact with a TV these days. I do not know of any other such device for medical monitoring that is TV based. Will give you more of an update after CES(consumer electronics show) next month as I will be there to check it out.
