We want to start preventing adverse events, rather than just reacting to them. One of the biggest issues we have today in senior living as alarm fatigue for the caregivers. If we can give them data and turn that into information about a resident and provide an action that they should take, now we've done something with the information that allows them to be effective with their time.
How do we improve the quality of life? How do we provide balance? How can we utilize technology to allow them to interact and not be locked out from seeing Mom?
