This provides us with in-depth insights that help to significantly improve the overall well-being of our clients, accurately assessing each senior’s changing physical and mental state, and optimizing his/her care plan to perfectly support these evolving needs.
When off shift, Sensi can serve as a 24/7 silent support layer, creating a perfect combination between quality on-premise physical care, and remote virtual care support.
