Health and Wellness technologies include health promotion technologies, behavioral and health status monitoring systems, telehealth and telemedicine systems, and medication management technologies, which focus on the physical health and wellness of seniors. In addition, cognitive assessment technologies, reminders systems and cognitive stimulation technologies, which focus on the mental health and wellness of seniors, are also classified under this category. Some of the computer-based cognitive stimulation technologies have an entertainment value and some provide physical stimulation as well as sensory and cognitive stimulation.
The anticipated value propositions these technologies offer may include better health outcomes for seniors and reduced health care bills for payers. These technologies may provide coordination of care, reduced professional caregiver workloads, increased caregiver efficiency, longitudinal data, peace of mind for informal/family caregivers and reduced informal caregiver burdens and strains.
