Aggregating real-time data in the cloud to help keep seniors
safeToday, more than ever, senior living communities are
struggling with changing resident expectations due to COVID-19.
Residents, family members and caregivers alike expect digital tools
to be deployed and interconnected in order to help seniors remain
healthy, enhance staff efficiency and help deliver better overall
care. Philips has long understood the limitations of current
e-call systems. With the Cares for Senior Living Essential bundle,
the company now delivers a solution to help transform e-call
capabilities into a powerful tool for operational and workflow
improvement.
The platform’s easy to use dashboard is web-based, making it
accessible from virtually any device which now includes enterprise
reports, community mapping and EHR (Electronic Health Record)
integration. Features are automatically updated and expanded
through the cloud allowing for continuous enhancements that can
grow and add services over time. For the first time,
owner/operators are able to take their existing e-call system into
the cloud to modernize and scale the experience within one
integrated platform.
“With this next generation solution from Philips, senior living
community operators will have a safer and secure environment for
residents through the use of a modern e-call system that provides
fall detection, wander management and a mobile alert service on a
technologically flexible cloud-based platform,” said Derek Ross,
General Manager, Population Health Management at Philips. “Senior
communities will also be able to evaluate the level of care a
resident receives to help maximize revenue, per resident,
accordingly.”

solution family, empowering at-risk seniors and their professional
and family caregivers across independent living and senior living
