- EnvoyatHome is independently collecting data to improve patient outcomes and reduce caregiver stress. EnvoyatHome hopes to offer a caregiver technology toolkit to enhance routines (i.e. AOL’s, eating, and sleep cycles), detect treatment non-compliance, and patient safety issues. There’s a gap in collecting data to identify and learn about the symptoms, stages, and early signs of dementia.
- How will you or your group use the information from a new evidence report?
- Our research group located in the UPenn ICorps Program need metric-based studies to understand the feasibility of large scale deployment of intelligent monitoring and assessment of seniors’ in-home activities in reducing medical costs for PwD, PwAD, and their caregivers.
- How would you or your group plan to disseminate information from the report? Who would you plan to disseminate it to?
- The envoyatHome team will develop a clear and validated vision for a Minimum Viable Product that can be integrated into the EHR and distributed to healthcare systems nationwide.
- Do you know of organizations that could use an evidence report to change clinical practice? Are you a part of, or have you been in contact with, any organizations that might implement the research findings of an evidence report?
