The day’s discussions will be punctuated by two prominent figures who will keynote the event– Carolyn Clancy, MD, Director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), opens the Summit with key insights on the delivery of healthcare today, including how to improve care coordination through the factors of implementation, dissemination and patient engagement. The second keynote speaker, Chad Boult MD, Senior Advisor, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation shares the groundbreaking work taking place throughout the U.S that’s leading the movement toward high-quality care at reduced costs. The CMS Innovation Center is at the forefront of change, providing an opportunity for members of the care coordination to submit projects and to build upon successes of others to deliver better care to consumers at a reduced cost.

Additional sessions deliver powerful insight into the impact of the future of nursing on the care coordination workforce, innovative efforts to reduce healthcare disparities, opportunities for entrepreneurs in a rapidly changing healthcare system, strategies to reduce avoidable readmissions, fresh approaches for patient engagement and new views on end-of-life care.

This smart watch by Vesag also acts as a GPS, fall detector and health monitor. This device is perfect for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s or Dementia.

The VESAG Watch is a comprehensive remote health monitoring and tracking device. It comes with a built-in GPS, Fall Detection, microphone and a button for emergency SOS, making it ideal to monitor patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s. It also comes with a built-in wireless communication system to monitor key health parameters, medication reminders and 60 to 72 hours standby time, so that you can keep a check on your dependents 24/7. It proves to be cost-effective, since it does away with the need to employ caregivers round the clock for each individual. Since alerts are automatically sent out when any of your dependent adults reach or cross their threshold for 17 different health parameters like blood pressure, heart rate etc, you may choose to actively check the same less frequently.

Along with the VESAG watch and alerts, you also get access to the full medical profile of the elderly inclusive of information such as blood group, allergies, previous ailments, current medication, etc. This will not only help you provide prompt services, but also be more involved in the care giving process. Other devices on offer from VESAG include the blood pressure monitor, heart rate monitor, portable ECG monitor, body fat monitor (for all ages) and pulse oximeter. Each of the devices come with a guarantee period and are user-friendly, so that even untrained caregivers can use them with ease.
