Mis en ligne le 21/01/2008 4HM unveiled its home health solution, a for-fee monthly service enabling independent living (IL) for seniors via remote monitoring from their care-givers. This innovative solution consists of ControlPoint (TM) software running in a Home HealthPoint gateway with various sensors in the home. By creating a passive monitoring network around a senior in their normal home setting, both family members and professional care-givers can log into a personalized Web page and get historical trend data, real-time status updates, and proactive alerts about the health and well-being for that monitored elder.
"An estimate 16 million seniors in the US could benefit from home health monitoring technology by 2012 and this addressable market will expand even faster beyond that point due to an aging baby boomer population", said Harry Wang, Senior Analyst of digital health research at Dallas-based digital home technology consultancy Parks Associates. The recommended starter kit for the IL (independent living) service includes the Home HealthPoint, three motion detectors, and an emergency pendant. The motion detectors are strategically placed around the home during the professional installation in the bedroom, at the entrance to the primary bathroom, and in the main trafficked area such as a foyer or living room. ControlPoint in-home software is able to support a wide variety of medical diagnostic devices to further supplement the health and well-being information for the senior, including a digital weight scale, a blood-pressure cuff, a glucose meter, or a pulse oximeter, depending on the needs of that particular monitored senior. Lastly, to battle psychological duress and the frequent isolation of a senior living alone - a common difficulty among the elder population that has proven negative health repercussions - 4HM has integrated into the solution set friends-and-family photo sharing, interactive health surveys, and health and wellness video education. "4HM, a sponsor and contributor to the Red Cross for the last two years, has a track-record in health services and is building a powerful coalition in the home health ecosystem, including broadband service providers looking to offer an IL or home health service." The 4HM-powered IL service will be available in the second half of 2008 through select broadband service providers, both in North America and internationally. While pricing is subject to a variety of factors, the monthly service will range from $30/month to $100/month, a bargain in comparison to the on average $72,000 annual fee for transitioning a senior into an assisted living facility, or the $40,000 to $70,000 annually for in-home nursing. This is a good news for seniors who long for independence.
