Some of VRI’s innovative service offerings include: VOIP Enabled PERS GPS/Cellular Enabled PERS Fall Detection Medication Compliance Glucose Monitoring Blood Pressure Monitoring Peak Flow Monitoring

  2. PERS OVERVIEW Why PERS? • As healthcare costs continue to rise and seniors become a larger percentage of the population, the importance of enabling seniors to maintain their independence and live in the comfort of their own home continues to increase. PERS (personal emergency response) systems are imperative when seniors are living alone. These systems give seniors peace of mind that someone will be there when they need help, and reassure caretakers and family that seniors will be safe when they are not around. VRI has recently introduced a mobile Cellular/GPS product targeted at the independent senior. Now whether at the grocery store, taking a walk, or playing golf, seniors will always have someone to help and locate them at a simple press of a button. • Falls are the leading accident affecting the elderly population. • 30% of people over the age of 65 and 50% of seniors over the age of 85 will fall this year. The vast majority of these falls will happen in the home. • As the time that seniors are left without help after a fall increases, the chance they will survive that fall declines significantly.

  3. MEDICATION COMPLIANCE OVERVIEW Why Medication Compliance? • Prescription monitoring ensures that seniors remember to take the correct dosage at the right time. Often as a result of dementia, adverse affects of prescription drugs, or loss of memory, elderly patients misuse their medication. If the member does not take their medication with 30 minutes of their scheduled dose, VRI equipment will contact the Care Center at which point a customer care representative will call the member to remind them to take their medication. The Care Center will also notify the member’s care taker or doctor of any non compliance events. • “The average person over 65 now uses seven different [medications] per day, four prescribed and three over-the-counter”. • Almost 30% of hospital admissions for people over the age of 65 are directly attributable to medication non-compliance. • Approximately 40% of people entering nursing homes do so because of their inability to self medicate. • Nearly $48 billion in annual costs result from unnecessary medication non compliance induced hospitalizations.
