Electronic Caregiver and Samsung Electronics America Join Forces to Reveal Transformational Chronic and Aging Care Solutions at HLTH 2024

Addressing the Challenge of Chronic Conditions with Addison Care and Samsung Electronics America

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, one in three people worldwide live with multiple chronic conditions, impacting 2.7 billion global citizens. In America, the situation is even more severe, with an estimated 42% of citizens affected. Common conditions include hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, and respiratory illnesses. These chronic illnesses often lead to depression and behavioral health challenges, placing a significant physical, psychological, and emotional toll on patients. Alarmingly, 50% of treatment failures are due to non-adherence to care plans, such as medication management, lifestyle changes, and vitals monitoring. This non-adherence predominantly occurs at home, away from clinical oversight. Until now, there has been no scalable way to identify and address this issue.

Electronic Caregiver introduces Addison Care, an AI-driven 3D Virtual Caregiver that operates 24/7 in the patient’s home. Addison monitors and improves treatment adherence, performs automated wellness checks and vitals monitoring, provides companionship, manages medication schedules, and assists with daily tasks and routines. Addison is now available on Samsung tablets, mobile devices, and other Samsung smart home devices. At HLTH 2024 in Las Vegas, Addison will be showcased on Samsung tablets and integrated with Samsung’s newest Galaxy Watch7, which features FDA-approved vitals monitoring.

Revolutionizing Digital Health and Connected Care

Together, Electronic Caregiver and Samsung are transforming digital health and connected care, not only at home but throughout the entire patient journey—from clinic to hospital to home. With the increasing number of chronically ill patients, 55 million aging adults in the U.S., and 53 million family caregivers, the combination of Electronic Caregiver’s Addison Care solution with Samsung’s hardware, software, and security is a groundbreaking innovation.

Comprehensive Care Solutions

The combined solutions improve care outcomes, reduce social isolation, support mental health, extend functional independence, and enhance the quality of life. Addison, powered by Samsung, applies a three-phase strategy:

1. Engagement and Assistance: Addison protects, serves, educates, and entertains with interactive engagements for daily care and tasks, including gamification.
2. Continuous Health Monitoring: Addison provides continuous health monitoring, early identification of health changes, facilitates timely interventions, and optimizes care coordination.
3. Companionship and Connectivity: Addison offers companionship, on-demand virtual primary care, 24/7 emergency response, auto fall detection, and features to improve memory, concentration, and motor skills. It integrates with a centralized TeleCare operation where care coaches and nurses provide additional support.

Addison is designed to be reliable, easy to use, and highly effective, tailored to personal choices, ethnicities, cultural preferences, languages, and health circumstances.
