Caregivers are supported with easy-to-use, fully customizable, two-way voice templates such as medication reminders, periodic check-ins, prompted access to streaming content, enhanced fall detection and more.

Patterson, CEO of LifePod. “It is a strong validation of our mission to transform the $279 billion caregiving market by enabling over 40 million family members and professional caregivers in the United States to monitor and support their loved ones with proactive, voice-first services, and to simultaneously mitigate the social isolation felt by millions of Americans.”
