CurrentAble Care is on a mission to keep aging seniors at home and Able for as long as possible, working with at-risk providers to decrease readmissions and hospitalizations, while improving quality and risk adjustment scores. A tsunami of aging is about to hit our health systems. In the US alone there are 10,000 new seniors (65+) everyday. These seniors all suffer from Functional Decline, quite literally a decline in their ability to function independently at home. Outcomes of Functional Decline are already the leading drivers of hospital admissions and utilization. Providers have not been able to monitor the leading indicators for functional decline, the outcomes are only seen post event when they show up in claims data. Our Able Monitoring platform captures a combination of the leading indicators of decline over time in the community, through objective data such as grip strength, gait speed, balance; and PROMs like mood and cognitive state, allowing us to identify those in decline and at risk, and direct resources and correct care pathways to those most in need.One of our key data points alone, grip strength, is now being positioned as a new vital sign, known to be a biomarker for individual's overall health. https://resources.able-care.co/docs/
