Insight Gained from Wearable Technologies for Family
Beginning the 11th paragraph down, Life Backup Plan is discussed and how, while technically not a wearable, it leverages the power of something many/most of us “wear” every day – our cell phone. Why incur the expense of production of a wearable device, which gets passed down to consumers, when the power of the cell phone can provide greater data points in a low cost app? No extra devices to worry about losing or charging – its all-in-one with your mobile phone.
Life Backup Plan’s digital health solution offers safety, emergency detection and response, digital health and multi-faceted care benefits once reserved for costly devices—now accessible to anyone with a cell phone – at a substantial savings over wearable devices.
“Our app collects a wide array of health data points, sharable on a line by line basis, and in a HIPAA compliant manner, to emergency contacts, first responders and healthcare workers,” states Sandy Eulitt, CEO and Founder of Life Backup Plan by Galacxia, Inc. “During routine visits, or emergencies, the data is right there for a first responder or healthcare worker to access, reducing tests, and providing a vastly fuller picture of the user’s health than is normally available, thereby lowering both the cost of care and the time to deliver it, while improving the patient experience, since they will no longer have to fill out forms, with the risk of forgetting something important, and having to duplicate effort from one provider to another.”
Cost of care delivery and the mechanisms for it have become flashpoints in the US Healthcare system. With an aging population requiring more care, fewer healthcare workers due to departures from the field during and post COVID-19, and increasing budget demands, every speaker at the 10th anniversary Pepperdine University Future of Healthcare Symposium stressed the need for technology just like that which Life Backup Plan offers.
Working in combination with the patented LifeLog(TM) functionality, Life Backup Plan captures the user’s lifestyle and medical conditions all in one app, and then analyzes the information for personal health risk prediction and digital triage, to help eliminate costly ER visits. Sadly, not all medical emergencies have positive outcomes, and no one lives forever, either. To that end, Life Backup Plan stores end-of-life wishes and attendant legal documents accessibility information (with actual document storage coming in a future version), No wearable does all that.
