Abstract

To lower health care costs, it is necessary to improve the care of patients who suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease to help them remain in good health, out of emergency rooms and out of hospitals where patients often contract infections. Due to the trend of aging Americans, health care costs are rising due to aging adults experiencing changes in chronic health conditions which often limit activities. Yet, despite physical limitations, elderly Americans prefer to live in their own homes, which could reverse increasing health care costs. As a result, many elders may require a home system to monitor their safety and their health. To effectively care for patients across a range of settings, remote monitoring of people with chronic diseases, and more, is a promising technology. DynoSense Corporation, a medical device company and creator of the world's first fully integrated multi-scan health scanner, has developed a product called “Dyno,” a device that fits well within the new paradigm of preventive healthcare delivery.
