“Technology Comes Of Age In The LTC World,” by Patrick Connole, Provider

“Long term care and technology are becoming more comfortable partners in the drive to improve the lives of seniors and to create new economic efficiencies. But the form of this push for high-tech solutions is moving beyond just the latest advances in software for electronic health records (EHRs) and telemedicine to other specialized fields, like sensor technology. It is here, experts say, that real promise is being shown in advancing from relatively basic sensors that track heart rates and oxygen flows to more precise and in-depth health monitoring for seniors living independently and in skilled nursing care or assisted living communities.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):
Brave new world of LTC tech.
