At the outset, let me start by saying that I am a biased
reader of this report and that in no manner has AARP or the report’s authors endorsed
the claims I make below. The report’s developers did a first rate job at synthesizing
the data, the findings and surfacing the issues and trends. This report will be
must read and an oft quoted source of statistics for anyone involved in home based
care and care giving. My appreciation also extends to the sponsors of the
report.
Why am I a biased reviewer? Over the last two years as an innovator
in this market place I have become deeply involved with the technologies available.
I can confidently state that the survey’s response statistics accurately reflects
my real world experience interacting with end users.
Based upon that experience, and now substantiated by this report,
our MyHomeReach product, a tablet
based system for care givers and care recipients, could accurately have been
included as the ‘poster child’ for a recommended solution. Point by point, MyHomeReach surpasses the stated expectations
and requirements recommended for consideration by technology providers by the
report’s authors. We have done more that consider them we have done it.
To state it another way, this report could easily serve as a
blueprint for why MyHomeReach was
created.
If you want to read the just published report it is, as of
this writing, currently available at:

So, thank you AARP and the report’s Sponsors. At ChartaCares
we are profoundly encouraged and will innovate on!
