Featured Workshop: “Beyond Remote Monitoring: The Future of Person-Centered Remote Supports”
Don’t miss the session “Beyond Remote Monitoring: The Future of Person-Centered Remote Supports.” Remote Supports must go beyond blinking sensors and crisis-management monitoring. When done right, they expand independence and address staffing issues. True “person-centered” remote supports places the individual firmly at the center of care with assistive technologies and remote supports as a supplemental resource and coach.
Attendees will hear real-world examples from GrandCare Systems and Mainstay on how smart, scalable, person-driven technologies are improving autonomy, quality of care, and outcomes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
W56 | Beyond Remote Monitoring: The Future of Person-Centered Remote Supports
Speakers: Laura Mitchell, CEO, GrandCare Systems; Heather Lewis, Associate Director of Technology, & Kim Sonafelt, CEO, Mainstay Life Services
