The global home healthcare market size valued at over $281 billion is expected to grow over 60% by the year 2027. To meet the needs of the home healthcare market, ChristianaCare https://christianacare.org, a healthcare organization, is pioneering voice care through Home Care Coach™ as an extension of home care services.
Home Care Coach built by developers within the Health & Technology Innovation Center https://christianacare.org/we-serve-together-2019/innovation at ChristianaCare, acts as an extension of the home care team and helps to make care at home the standard.
Home Health Care is a provider-driven customized proactive care plan delivered through Alexa Skill. The web application interface enables the provider to customize the patient’s care plan while using meaningful language for the patient. The patient can then ask Alexa questions about prescribed medicines, exercises, etc. and receive prompts personalized to meet their needs.
”Voice assistants are in millions of homes in the U.S.,” said Randy Gaboriault, Chief Digital and Information Officer at ChristianaCare. “By leveraging this technology, we are creating a new model of care within patients’ homes to support the best health outcomes possible”.
“What makes Home Care Coach™ even more meaningful is that it was designed by caregivers at the front lines of ChristianaCare’s Home Health since they understand the needs of their patients,”, said Ric Cumming, ChristianaCare Chief Nurse Executive and President of ChristianaCare Home Health.
