We were very pleased to feature Hon Pak MD, SVP, Samsung Electronics.
The concept for this episode was to discuss the importance of establishing baselines of health numbers so that we will have them when there is an incident. The discussion migrated to how tech can help with monitoring health.
Dr. Pak detailed how wearables are evolving and how they can be part of “caregiving as a team sport”.
Benjamin Surmi suggested how to get senior care staff to support device use by residents.
Michael Skaff introduced the issue of privacy and how that might be addressed with remote monitoring.
Recorded on November 18, 2021, this episode is part of our Caregiver Friendly Products Series. Speakers are listed in their order of appearance.
