CarePredict Selects Lacuna Health for AI-powered Wellness Platform Collaboration

Carepredict to Leverage Lacuna Health’s Call Center Solutions to Offer AI-Powered Wellness Platform to Providers

CarePredict, a leading AI-driven digital health company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Menlo Park, California, has selected Lacuna Health, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kindred Healthcare, LLC for an AI-powered Wellness Platform Collaboration.

The partnership enables CarePredict to leverage Lacuna Health’s highly trained registered nurse (RN) led clinical staff to offer providers a suite of care management enabled predictive health technology products to engage and support seniors and their caregivers.

CarePredict, an AI-driven digital health company, develops proprietary connected remote sensing technologies, wearables, and deep learning platforms that continuously observe, learn, and trigger just-in-time care for seniors. CarePredict employs lightweight sensors and wearables, designed for seniors, to unobtrusively and autonomously collect rich data sets on the senior’s activity and behaviors. Machine learning and unique kinematics algorithms are used to quantify activities performed by the senior, such as drinking, eating, sleeping, walking, grooming, etc. CarePredict uses these unique data sets to train its deep learning neural nets to surface insights such as signs and symptoms of self-neglect indicative of depression, unusual toileting patterns indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI), or increased fall risk due to malnutrition, gait changes, lack of rest, and dehydration.  All of these insights are generated without any self-reporting by the senior and without the need for an in-person observation.
