I.L.S.A. for Healthcare Professionals

You are a doctor, nurse, social worker, home health aide, or occupational, physical, or speech therapist who provides in-home care to an elder. The Independent LifeStyle Assistant TM monitoring system (I.L.S.A.) can help you better serve your patients by monitoring their activities in your absence and making their needs clearer. It could help you concentrate efforts where and when they are most needed—making it possible to stretch your resources without compromising the quality of care.

I.L.S.A. will be customized to the specific needs of the elder and any agreement between you to protect the elder's safety AND privacy. Some features that would ease your workload and help assure you of your elders' safety in their own homes, include:

• Remote monitoring of vital signs and chronic disease measures such as glucose levels.
• Remotely monitor medication use and eating, mobility, and toileting patterns.
• Remind you of appointments and help keep a list of things to do for your elder.
• Help you keep in touch with your elder, healthcare providers, community services, and support groups through email and a shared website.
• Provide alerts when your elder is in danger, has fallen, or is behaving in an unusual way (not taking medication, wandering, not moving).
