Solution Spotlight | Connect Your Senior Care Community | Healthcare

Healthcare facilities face a workforce shortage coupled with a booming senior population whose disease prevalence grows as they age. Senior care communities, in particular, grapple with managing resident care while trying to attract qualified doctors, nurses and caregivers.

Modern technology — particularly secure mobile technology — can serve as the bridge to help communities do more with less while at the same time enriching the lives of residents, attracting a new generation of workers and setting the stage for the adoption of future IT innovations.

Innovative technology that modern mobility can support:

Digital assistants
Virtual reality/augmented reality
Internet of Things (IoT)
Wearables and remote monitoring
Data analytics
Telehealth
Smart living space
Robotics

Questions to ask when considering a mobility implementation:

Have I already completed a thorough security assessment?
If I intend to apply IoT applications, have I investigated the ramifications IoT will have on my network?
Do I have sufficient Wi-Fi bandwidth to support resident, visitor and staff use of mobile devices?
Am I upgrading any other parts of my infrastructure at the same time?
How do I know which mobile devices are right for my facility?
