Using Technology to Spot Health Declines Before They Escalate

Major health emergencies among older adults rarely happen “out of nowhere.” Most are preceded by days, weeks or even months of subtle but important changes: reduced mobility, changes in sleep, skipped medications or withdrawal from social activity. When these early warning signs go unnoticed, the result is often hospitalization, loss of independence and escalating healthcare costs. This webinar explores how professionals can use technology to identify and respond to small changes before they escalate, making early detection part of an equitable, proactive aging-in-place model.

Watch this webinar to learn:

  • Integrate early detection technology into care management frameworks to improve outcomes at scale.
  • Recognize the most common early health changes that signal a risk of decline.
  • Analyze the role of monitoring technologies in preventing crises and hospitalizations.
  • Identify barriers to adoption and strategies to build confidence among older adults and caregivers.
