The tool uses sensors to track daily activities and alert caregivers to unusual patterns, enhancing safety and independent living for the elderly. This recognition makes it easier for healthcare organizations to implement Sensara’s solution, as the regulation removes the need for additional research, making adoption faster and more accessible. Sensara has prepared a standard offering aligned with this subsidy. More information here.
