Protecting Loved Ones in the Nursing Home or Senior Living Facility under Coronavirus Pandemic

May 27 16:42 2020

AnyCARE Corp is a nimble and innovative health and safety solutions provider for seniors and senior care business partners worldwide. AnyCARE is introducing a health protection solution for seniors in the nursing homes and senior living facilities from coronavirus. 

The AnyCARE Health Protection Solution consists of a Tap health monitor, AnyCARE apps and Family Connect service that connect the senior with their family and caregiver.

The Tap health monitor is a unique smartwatch innovation, which combines fitness tracker, pulse oximeter and medical alert function into one package. The Tap monitors blood oxygen saturation and heart rate regularly and sends a warning message to the user in case the blood oxygen level drops below safety limit. AnyCARE Family Connect service connects the senior with family and caregiver using AnyCARE apps, which share the current and historical trends of vital signs including the blood oxygen level and send out a medical alert message to help the senior in case of emergency. 

It is very important to identifying and treating the initial phase of Covid pneumonia earlier by screening for silent hypoxia as described by Dr. Richard Levitan in the following NY Times articles. He observed many patients did not report breathing problems, even though their chest X-rays showed diffuse pneumonia and their oxygen was below normal. Normal oxygen saturation for most persons is 94 to 100 percent; Covid pneumonia patients he saw had oxygen saturations as low as 50 percent.  

“AnyCARE Tap can detect a possible problem with oxygenation when the oxygen saturation drops below safety level, which could be an indication of Covid pneumonia.  Thanks to its continuous blood oxygen monitoring capability, the user can detect the downward trend of their blood oxygen level and seek medical attention for possible Covid pneumonia at the initial phase,” noted Dr. Soon B Shin, Co-Founder of AnyCARE. “The purpose of the AnyCARE Health Protection Solution is to provide an easy to use health monitoring tool for seniors to protect themselves proactively under coronavirus pandemic. We expedited the development of this safety solution as we could not sit idle at home while watching innocent seniors dying in the nursing homes every day. We hope to make some contribution on protecting seniors from coronavirus with AnyCARE health solutions.” 

Since there is no vaccine available to fight the coronavirus effectively, all we can do is to protect ourselves passively by reducing the chance of exposure to the virus with social distancing and frequent hands washing until the vaccines are available. Even under the lockdown situation, the family can monitor the vital signs including the blood oxygen level and assure the safety of their loved one in the senior living facility using AnyCARE Family Connect service.

The AnyCARE Health Protection package, which includes one Tap health monitor, AnyCARE app and Family Connect service including medical alert for one year can be ordered at $79 from the Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1539898329/anycare?ref=7q1jt1
