Introducing Care Bloom Health Monitoring for Senior Loved Ones

Lindsay Friedman and Shannon Lyons from Care Bloom join Suzanne to talk about an innovative new home-monitoring tool to assist senior loved ones with aging in place, living independently in their later years. Through the use of a watch and app, Care Bloom provides health monitoring services for caregivers.

Lindsay explained how Care Bloom came about: while caring for her grandmother in Florida, a nighttime fall led to a broken femur and ultimately ended her time at home. That experience — a common one for many families — inspired Lindsay to create a solution so that seniors can remain safely at home.

Shannon describes how Care Bloom works: your loved one wears a watch that looks similar to a Fitbit, each room has an anchor connected to an outlet, and a gateway sends all the information to the Care Bloom app. Caregivers get a snapshot of daily activities and health status, can send reminders, and track care plan compliance.
