In 2005 she co-founded GrandCare Systems–a Milwaukee company that provides elderly people with technology that helps them age in place. Mitchell writes her own blog, then drives traffic to her posts by a variety of routes. For example, if she sees an article somewhere else that interests her–say on Forbes.com–she might comment directly on the FORBES site; quote the article on her own blog and link to the FORBES story; then go on her LinkedIn groups and post her comments on LinkedIn, along with a link to her blog. “Social media is about providing information on yourself and your interests,” says Mitchell. “That includes where you work and what you do.” Whether you’re selling a product, a service or entertainment, think of your website as a store, and social media as the tool that draws people into that store, she adds. The key is to offer some insightful comment, rather than purely trying to get attention. By using that approach when she commented on an August 2010 NPR segment, Mitchell brought her company prime billing on the Discovery Channel ...

- [Forbes weighs in on Hospital Readmissions...](https://www.grandcare.com/2012/04/05/forbes-weighs-in-on-hospital-readmissions/) - Regardless of what happens, our healthcare system needs to change. The statistics you shared are overwhelming. Healthcare consumes 17% of our GDP and as a society, we have been known for paying for pounds and pounds of cure. We need to shift our mentality to start paying for those ounces of prevention. The in-home care service is critical to help support patients as they transition from hospital to home. But, that is only one piece of the puzzle. The hands on care is necessary and can help to relieve loneliness, isolation, provide transportation support and act as a helpful resource. But there are more things at play. Many cannot afford round the clock care and may not want someone living with them all hours of the day. That's why a combination of digital health technology tools, in-home caregiving services and medical provider support is necessary for successful transitions. We just wrote a whitepaper called "Healing in Place", which explores the successful transition piecing together the home health providers, technology, hospital staff, family and patient to seamlessly provide care and make sure they remain happy, healthy and safe at home. GrandCare is passionate about helping to provide the digital health technology (activity of daily living remote monitoring, digital health/vitals monitoring, medication reminders/alerts, socialization/webchats, touch-based resources & instructions).

With a baby boomer turning 63 every seven seconds, the target audience for this technology is growing exponentially. While this fact remains undisputed, another fact also plays into the hands of this growing field: this group wants to remain independent as long as possible. “A study conducted in 2005 indicated that 80% of the respondents would be willing to pay an extra $100/month for services and technology that would allow them to stay independent,” mentioned Mitchell. Mitchell cited Laurie M. Orlov’s Aging in Place Technology Watch, a market research firm providing thought leadership, analysis and guidance about technologies and related services, while she discussed the four main aging in place technology categories available. Each addressed a contributing factor toward a person’s inability to stay independent. The first category, home safety and security, would attends to the fact that one-third of all people aged 65 and older fall each year. Utilizing a home monitor, care givers or loved ones will be alerted immediately in case of an accident. The second category, learning and contribution, recognizes that people who are connected socially live longer. The third category, health and wellness, relates to the fact that medication management is one of the leading drivers to assisted living and nursing home facilities. Utilizing technology for both cognitive and medication management at home can help prevent the necessity of moving into those facilities. Finally, the fourth category, communication and engagement, relates to utilizing email, video phone, cell phone and PCs to stay in touch and traverse the other categories as well.

Smart Money Magazine Article](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/11/09/will-home-health-care-get-pricier-smart-money-magazine-article/) - I wanted to post the following article on the rising cost of Home Health Care.

They want references, they want testimonials and they want to know exactly how to implement it. I have been making it my role these days to keep providing more and more information about how and why technology can help in long term care, ROI, how it connects residents to family and staff, why residents and staff are happier using it and how to successfully implement it. I will be posting bits and pieces on LinkedIn as I continue to research and pull together different pieces. The end result will sort of be a "paper" on successful technology implementation into long term care - model options, pricing, staff education, testimonials, etc. If you have any questions, comments or thoughts for me as I go along on this journey, shoot me an email!

- [Finding Opportunities for Health Care Technology Integration - Residential Systems Reports](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/09/13/finding-opportunities-for-health-care-technology-integration-residential-systems-reports/) - The home health care market is very much in its infancy, according to Laura Mitchell, VP of marketing for GrandCare Systems. Although she warns that it’s not as undeveloped as some people might believe. “Maybe it’s better to say that it’s an adolescent with braces,” she joked, going on to assert that the category has been around for some while now and is seeing more vendors and more advanced technology. Mitchell explained that when GrandCare was being developed in 2005 there were only three major players: GrandCare, QuietCare, which is now a part of GE, and Health Sense. While educating the market is still ongoing, Mitchell said that it was more of an uphill back then, requiring her to get out in the field, telling people that the technology exists, and getting health-care professionals to accept it. “I went from place to place,” she said, “including long-term and in-home care providers, many of whom saw us as competition.”

- [3 Common Signs of Functional Decline...and Technology Assists](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/08/29/3-common-signs-of-functional-decline-and-technology-assists/) - A Florida GrandCare client recently called and tearfully told me that her mother was declining and it seemed as though she had "sundowners". She knew this because of the GrandCare motion graphs that showed a lack of movement during the day, agitated sleep patterns, activity throughout the night (whereas her mother used to just get up one time a night and soundly sleep the rest). My Florida client took the print out of these motion graphs to a doctor to get his opinion. She and he were both shocked to make the correlation between a medication change (heart medication change) for her mother and the dramatic change in activity/sleep patterns. He made a tweak to her medications and it made a world of a difference. This is what we're talking about! This is what makes coming to work worthwhile for me -- seeing a true change that technology can make for people, make their lives better, brighter and help caregivers making them into SUPER CAREGIVERS!

- [AgingCare.com: Secrets our Loved Ones hide and How GrandCare can help….](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/08/15/agingcare-com-10-secrets-that-aging-parents-keep-and-how-technology-could-assist/) - I read this article and couldn't help but think of how all sorts of technology (remote monitoring like GrandCare, Internet technology, etc) could help out with these 10 "secrets" shared in the story. Of course, technology is only one piece to the puzzle, but nonetheless, I think we are not quite at the point where technology comes right to mind when we are thinking about how to care for a loved one. It's scary to think about caring for an aging parent and we have not grown up using technology in this way. It's relatively new. Many of us have cared for children using all kinds of technologies (baby monitor, video monitor, bed monitor to detect SIDS, etc), but we don't think to apply this to an obviously similar need among our aging parents. I get it, though, because although the caregiving process and stress can be similar to taking care of a child, it's also a completely different beast when you consider that with children they grow more and more independent as you guide them to do more and more things on their own. With an aging loved one, the opposite will occur. It's much easier to give more freedom, obviously, than taking it away. I can imagine that it would be difficult to be aging and have someone telling you that you cannot or shouldn't do things anymore. Given this, we can't be too surprised when a loved one may hide or cover up certain things. I even think about my own kids cleaning up a mess they make, BEFORE I see it to avoid punishment or having things be taken away. But how do we know when someone hides something? And what if it's something that could be unsafe, unhealthy or potentially life-threatening? What steps could we or should we take to "get to the bottom" of things? How can we more closely monitor? How do we confront? I don't know that there is an easy answer. I remember my parents having to "take away the keys" from my Grandpa. That was a hard day and it took him a while to get used to the loss of independence. It was the right thing to do (He was not even noticing if I passed him on the road and was repeatedly honking and wildly waving), but extremely difficult while obviously responsible...

"Beyond causing discomfort, sustained heat and humidity are dangerous for older people." Why Elderly Are Susceptible Among contributing factors, the elderly don't always feel as warm as younger people do in higher temperatures, and don't necessarily sense thirst. Medical conditions can further diminish elders' ability to cope with heat-related stress, and medications can interfere with their bodies' cooling capabilities, Della Penna adds. Habits and lifestyles also play a role. Because they chill easily, older adults tend to dress warmly. They may not have air conditioning or fans, and even if they do, those on fixed incomes often hesitate to use these electrical devices. In urban areas, the elderly frequently shut their windows and doors for fear of crime. "Isolation is certainly a risk factor for older people," Della Penna says. "Many of the people who die during heat waves are elders who live alone and don't have anyone to check on them." During the hot spell that struck Chicago in July 1995, 371 of the 522 deaths reported involved people age 65 or older. This summer, the National Weather Service attributed as many as 64 deaths to the heat wave in late July as Midwestern, Eastern and Southern states experienced temperatures in the 90s and 100s.

During the small study, researchers asked 8 residents of a continuing care retirement community to spend 10 days wearing waist-mounted, wireless devices that continuously measured the amount of time they spent walking, sitting and speaking with 1 or more other people. Researchers concluded that the electronically collected data correlated strongly with the results of four written questionnaires completed by study participants. In addition, researchers suggested that having objective sensor-generated information could eliminate the bias and recall problems people can display when answering surveys or submitting self-reports about their activities. Study participants reported that the monitoring devices were easy to wear but said they found the surveys inconvenient and difficult to complete.

Medication Compliance is one of the leading drivers to assisted living. Any months that we can save of supervised care can save thousands of dollars. We must, as a country, embrace enabling remote monitoring technologies to save money, encourage independence and prompt health/wellness and good decision making. We use technologies every day (I certainly use an alarm clock to get up in the morning) and my google calendar sends me text message reminders about my appointments so I don't miss them. All we need to do is provide this information to the seniors and individuals that need these prompts/reminders in an effective and user-friendly format. It sounds like Memotext has hit the nail on the head! GrandCare Systems is also working towards this common goal, to help individuals help themselves. To maintain independence, encourage healthy choices and keep them socially connected to family (video chat, emails, reminders, calendar appts, pictures, videos, music, games, etc.) in a user-friendly format (no computer skills necessary). GrandCare can prompt a Loved One (via their TV screen or telephone) to take meds, eat, take vitals (BP, Weight, Pulseox, glucose), perform activities, etc. and also alerts family members if certain parameters were met (meds not accessed, door opened during the night, excessive motion, wandering motion, someone didn't return to bed during the night, vitals were not taken, etc.).

Now is the time to make the technology affordable, easy to understand and easy to use for all of us," said Leslie Ann, owner of LA Home Care. "The GrandCare System, I believe, has done just that." This technology, which is currently in five homes, serves three main purposes: Assists seniors to stay in their homes longer. Client's are more productive and able to remain connected to community and family through favorite websites set up by the client and caregiver as well as SKYPE, a scrolling alert/message system, brain bending exercises and more. Enables caregivers to assess a client’s abilities and helps monitor activities of daily living to keep them safe. They are able to accommodate a client’s needs and coordinate with doctors. This technology provides a number of wellness devices to fill the need of many different health issues including a blood pressure device, a weight scale, and a pill dispenser which all use a wireless bluetooth device to record results in the computer and route them directly to a nurse or other care provider. Gives family members peace of mind. Family members and caregivers are able to remotely upload pictures and send messages in real time, post daily reminders, create calendar appointments and events for the client. Family members are able to monitor their loved ones health concerns and stay in touch with caregivers.

- [Beating Gravity: Avoiding Falls in Elders - reposted from ECare Diary](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/04/08/beating-gravity-avoiding-falls-in-elders-reposted-from-ecare-diary/) - Reposted from ECare Diary - I wanted to post this for GrandCare Dealers to take a look at. Dr. Rein mentions some very important points, things that we do not think about when examining falls and why they occur. There are certain things that technologies can do to help mitigate falls and other home modifications that can be made to help someone stay at home for longer. GrandCare Systems can be a helpful tool in this, things as simple as automatically turning on a light if/when a person gets out of bed during the night, GrandCare's Rx Tender Med dispenser can help to dispense the correct dosage at the correct time, remind the Loved one by phone or TV and alert family/caregivers if medications were not accessed. GrandCare also tries to aid in social connectivity between family members and loved ones. GrandCare is the bridge between the generations, allowing children and grandchildren to communicate the way they would like and the love one to receive communications the way he/she would like to. Family can send pictures, messages, emails, youtube videos, webchat via SKYPE, send calendar reminders and more. This can help to relieve feelings of loneliness and disconnect. The enhanced communications with GrandCare bring families closer together! The goal for all of us is to use a combination of personal touch, enabling technologies, home modifications and common sense to help prevent falls and accidents before they happen!! Thanks Dr. Rein for another great post!

While many off-the-shelf home health tech products can serve this population well, it takes a focused business plan to succeed and be profitable in the aging-at-home marketplace.Until now, integrators have shied away from jumping into the home health tech market for several reasons including fear of liability and the inability to make a convincing case for selling pricey systems to consumers. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this highly informative session, CE Pro offers 10 entry-level home health tech solutions to get you jump started in this up and coming new market space.

- [Smart Money Magazine asks us - can aging be stylish?](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/03/11/smart-money-magazine-asks-us-can-aging-be-stylish/) - I think this is a very important topic to address. People don't want to use systems/devices that make them "feel" geriatric, old or disabled. That is the reason that the systems need to be viewed more like we view every day conveniences..think of railings on stairs, alarm clocks, smart phones, online calendar/reminders, appointment books, etc. All of these we use every day because they are helpful and they assist EVERYONE. Systems that enable a person to stay independent and at home should be viewed in a similar fashion. Nobody wants to have the scarlet pendant of aging, instead they want to be able to self-enable with gadgets, technologies, design, etc. If we design systems like GrandCare Systems that has many features that ANYBODY would enjoy, it is much more likely that a person will accept. I use GrandCare Systems in my home every day and my two toddler boys do too. We use it for different reasons, using the same alerts, cognitive assists, reminders, family calendar, etc that the system provides. Everyone benefits from convenience, safety, communication, etc. (Think of the iPad). I would NEVER be able to keep track of my schedule without my iPhone reminding me of EVERYTHING. Why should it be so different with non tech-savvy individuals? Check out my entry on why I believe Gen X-ers should also be adopting these technologies as early adopters: http://wp.me/pyOLA-dx Thanks for the article - short answer: YES, aging can and SHOULD be stylish and graceful!

- [Gen X-ers Show the Way in Aging/Technology Services? Perhaps we are looking to the wrong generation to lead the way...](https://www.grandcare.com/2011/01/28/perhaps-we-are-looking-to-the-wrong-generation-to-lead-the-way/) - So let's think about these products. They are not designed to be geriatric, but instead hip, cool and the "IT" thing to do. People are trying them out and saying, wow - my kids could do this. Now, I am not sure that my 87 year old grandfather could navigate through my IPAD...probably not. But, I do know from first-hand experience that he has had ZERO trouble with the GrandCare Touch Interface...If we design it for anyone to use -it becomes less of a "this works well only if you're old" mentality. Take my two kids...once again - I have a GrandCare TouchScreen mounted in our kitchen. It reminds us (loudly) to take our vitamins at night. In fact, my husband grabbed the audio file from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and Nurse Ratched says "Medication Time" if the med cabinet has not been opened by 7pm. We enjoy little things like that and the boys think it's hilarious. We also use it to put our schedules on there - so everyone is aware of the calendar events (replacing the big calendar we had on the wall when I was a kid where we had to (Gasp) WRITE on it). The GrandCare System updates us with the weather, shows pictures (the boys love the animal stock photos) - think of it as a huge digital photo frame when it's not being actively used. Another thing I (as a parent) really enjoy is that I can remotely program which YouTube and Streaming Videos/Music can be accessible through the touchscreen for my kids to access. I don't know if you've seen some of the stuff on YouTube, but even seemingly appropriate "I love Waffles" songs turns into a dirty sexual act between waffles...hard to believe...but I have to be very careful what the boys are selecting. This is a very nice feature for kids! I also put notes on there for the babysitters and our contact information is on there at all times, easily editable from a remote location (should she need to contact someone). Our GrandCare System also does some basic home automation stuff (turns on the hallway light if anyone gets out of bed during the night to use the bathroom, calls my cell phone if someone opened the front door during the night - I'm worried about my 2 year old here, turns off lights after periods of inactivity, etc.)

We at GrandCare couldn't agree more and it's exciting that all of these new technologies are coming out, providing enabling solutions for our aging population to stay at home. January 2011 was a very monumental month, as it was the first month that our boomers could qualify for Social Security. As we all know, the aging tsunami is coming - and our boomers want to stay home and independent for as long as possible. In fact, the Aging Technology Alliance (AGETEK) was formed to help all of these aging/technology vendors to come together and build up this brand new category of aging/technology solutions. There are many more solutions out there - check www.agetek.org - GrandCare Systems is another aging/technology solution that that combines aspects of Social Networking, Digital Photo Frame technology, Activity of Daily Living & Telehealth Monitoring along with basic smart home features to assure a network of caregivers that all is well in a Loved One's residence. Caregivers can be alerted by phone, email, text if something seems amiss (meds were not accessed, door opened during the night, or abnormal vitals). The Loved One doesn't need to have any computer experience to enjoy two way interactive web chat (via skype), play trivia and card games and see incoming family communications (pictures, messages, emails, videos, music, calendar appts, etc) right on an interactive TouchPad. It's entertainment and independence all in one! This article is very timely, in the fact that we need to start seeking technology solutions to save money and maintain our own independence. Studies have shown Seniors fear Nursing Homes worse than death. Fortunately, there are solutions out there that can help (and save money). Grateful to USA Today for keeping this ever-present topic alive! Laura Mitchell from GrandCare

She doesn’t use a computer, but GrandCare enables her relatives to fire off messages and photographs which come up on its large monitor (some versions of the system also plug into the TV.) The system not only lights the way to the bathroom when Howe gets up in the middle of night, it alerts her daughter if, as happened recently, there was unusual activity in the house: A visiting relative was pacing late at night.

- [The New Wave of Home Healthcare](https://www.grandcare.com/2010/08/02/the-new-wave-of-home-healthcare/) - According to healthcare statistics, the timing couldn’t be better. In a June 2009 report from the AARP Policy Institute, the population of people 65 or older is projected to grow by 89 percent between 2007 and 2030, more than four times faster than the population overall. The aging population will skyrocket by another 118 percent between the years 2030 and 2050. “The silver tsunami is coming,” says Laura Mitchell, director of business relations at Grand Care Systems, a manufacturer of monitoring systems for seniors. “As the generation of baby boomers grows older, we simply won’t have the resources—facilities or manpower—to adequately take care of our aging population, unless we invest in the development of digital home healthcare technology.” Factor in the astronomical costs of long-term care, and it’s easy to see why some healthcare analysts believe the digital home healthcare industry will grow from a $2 billion business to a $20 billion industry by 2020.

BCS (once known as the British Computer Society) published an interesting report this month called "The Information Dividend: Can IT Make You Happier?" This study of 35,000 examines the relationship between access to information and the means of getting it with responders' life satisfaction. It concludes that IT has a positive impact on life satisfaction for all levels of income and other factors that are typically used to determine well-being. And the study, according to the authors, demonstrates that access to information and technology "extends the sense of freedom/control which improves well-being." Most intriguing, it found that correlation with life-satisfaction as it relates to information technology was greatest among the most disadvantaged -- that is, those with lower incomes and the least amount of education."
