for assisted living residents and for those in independent living who are recovering from surgery. “Having the remote control right at their fingertips has been huge,” she says.
Multifunction wearables Another predictive technology in place at Atria Newport Beach is CarePredict, a monitoring solution that uses a wrist wear- able, called Tempo. The device functions as an electronic
door key, emergency call button, two-way radio, watch, location tracker, and health sensor. It provides physiological as well as behavioral data to present a full picture of the wearer’s well-being. The scope of information provides insights into whether a person is getting healthier, less healthy or staying the same. “That’s where the ‘predict’ comes into the CarePredict name,” Redman says.
18 SENIOR LIVING EXECUTIVE MAY/JUNE 2022 Residents are encouraged to wear their
Tempo 24/7. Staff and visitors also wear them for location tracking, which helps to normalize the device for residents. During the first two weeks, it’s especially
important for residents to wear the device continuously—this establishes a baseline for prediction and spotting anomalies. “After 14 days it knows the tempo of the person’s life,” says Satish Movva, founder and CEO of CarePredict.
The Tempo wrist band is worn on the
dominant arm, so it can more accurately track activities such as eating. To make it more likely to stay on the dominant arm, it was designed without a screen. The CarePredict team used data from its
research to build algorithms that indicate specific changes that correlate to a decline in health. They are adding physiological measurements, which will augment the behavioral measurements to show a more
“Having all the clinical information in one place about a resident is one of the keys to risk management,” says Trisha Cole, Medtelligent COO and general counsel.
