GrandCare chosen as featured speaker at June 3 InControl Wisconsin event

GrandCare Systems’ Laura Mitchell has been selected to lead a discussion exploring how digital health technologies (activity, medication management, telehealth, socialization) can enable seniors to remain safer, happier and healthier wherever home is. It also engages multiple levels of caregivers, who can better and more efficiently care for an aging client or loved one.

Stop by GrandCare’s booth to experience why GrandCare is a leader and pioneer in the digital health and wellness industry.

 

Laura Mitchell, VP Business Development, GrandCare Systems Topic: Senior Cyborgs & Technology powered “digital caregivers”

This course is an exploration of how digital health technologies (video chat, activity, telehealth and medication monitoring) will empower the aging and chronic disease mgmt population while providing caregivers and health providers with BETTER information, eliminating the “noise” and enabling proactive, predictive and preventative care.  With the backdrop of the affordable care act, health providers are being penalized for cost of readmissions within 30 days.  Meanwhile, this society is faced with a huge disruptive demographic: the aging population. One can hardly discuss the aging tsunami without addressing the rising cost of healthcare, typically more is spent in the later years in life.  Everyone is looking to provide more cost-effective care where we turn caregivers into “zone players” vs. old school man on man.

Topic: But I Don’t Want ElderCare, Beware these
Aging Myths!

Speaker: Author & Aging Expert, Terry Lynch
specializes in helping older people remain as
self-reliant and involved in community life as
possible, and helping caregiving family members
maintain the quality of their own lives. Terry
has been advancing the independent living cause
since 1977, when he served as assistant to the
Director of the White House Conference on
individuals with disabilities. He then managed a
federal disability rights program and had a key
role in developing what is now the National
Disability Rights Network. Through this
illuminating personal experience and his work with
other families, Terry learned that we have more
control over the quality of our lives as we age
than we realize, and how we can maintain this
control.

These Aging and Technology Webinars are open to
anyone and everyone in the aging and technology
field and meant to educate, grow the industry and
learn from each other.
