One of the greatest challenges facing family members is juggling the competing demands of a fulltime job, managing their household and children, and providing quality care to an elderly parent living with a chronic condition. A new service provided, by iCare Health Monitoring, can help caregivers provide care for their elderly family members.

Located in nearby Golden, iCare delivers daily, personalized health monitoring through a convenient, easy-to-use device. The iCare System links the user to a nurse-based call center through a telephone line. All that is needed to use the iCare System is a phone connection and a power outlet. It's that easy! The user has an initial consultation with an iCare healthcare professional to evaluate his or her condition. The information provided helps iCare determine the types of questions that will be best for each user.

Each day, users are asked a series of simple questions about their health status, whether they've taken their medications, and about problems they may be having. When the question and answer session is completed, the user's responses are sent automatically to the iCare call center through the phone connection.

Daily sessions take only a few minutes to complete and quickly become part of the daily routine. iCare's trained professionals monitor the user's answers each day, looking for responses that indicate a health problem may be developing. Notification of potential health issues is sent to users and caregivers enabling early intervention, which may help prevent a serious health crisis.

Another exciting feature of iCare Health Monitoring is the iCaredaily.com website. Here, the user, authorized caregivers and healthcare professionals can review the answers entered into the iCare System. Information is presented in an easy-to-understand format, and is a great way for caregivers who may live miles away to check on their loved ones' health! The website also offers a library of health-related information.

For the very first time, a home health monitoring device is being offered directly to consumers. Now, seniors can manage their health. And both the senior and family caregivers can have peace of mind, knowing that iCare is there.
