The SageMinder© System:

Better Outcomes and Peace of Mind

SageMinder© is a preventative tool that prompts loved ones to follow their medication and health management plan. It tracks their self-reported responses, and alerts caregivers if and when they need to intervene. Monitoring and reminder systems, like the SageMinder©, directly improve health outcomes. SageMinder© extends benefits to family caregivers, by performing the important, yet tedious, task of providing reminder calls throughout the day to a loved one.

Instead of just treating health problems episodically, the SageMinder© is a proactive system allowing for three levels of intervention: 1) Providing structure for the patient to consistently follow their home-care regimen, 2) Engage the family caregiver to oversee care and intervene as necessary, and 3) Escalate to professional care when needed.

SMS provides family caregivers a simple and convenient way to set reminders for a loved one. Reminders can be one-time or recurring. The reminder messages can provide interactive information and will automatically deliver the care recipient’s responses to the caregivers in the manor they select.

For example, a family caregiver can receive regular updates regarding a loved one on a cell phone or computer at work. This provides peace of mind and critical information so the caregiver can more effectively manage caring for an independent loved one with chronic needs.
