Tablet technology aims to mitigate concerns of in-home care for seniors

The San Antonio, Texas-based company has implemented the "BettyCare Tablet" in the homes of all clientele as a way to mitigate the concerns of in-home care so that seniors can remain healthy while living at home.

The tablet technology is provided by San Diego, Calif.-based nliven Systems and offered as a BettyCare in-home care application.

According to the company, the platform can track measurable care standards; monitor vital information such as diet, medications, hygiene and daily activities; send information to families and healthcare teams as a way to identify potential health risks; and organize data to identify trends and progressions over time.

"The BettyCare tablet is used by the caregiver at the home to help manage the day-to-day needs of clients while providing a seamless information exchange with the office for scheduling, daily logs and alerts," according to the BettyCare website. "In addition, families or care partners are able to access a web portal from any mobile device for real-time transparency at the point of care for peace of mind and confidence in the care provided—transparency that is appreciated if not demanded in today’s fragmented families and connected world."
