New York (April 15, 2022)—Emerest Connect announced that it has launched the first-of-its-kind interactive television studio for homebound elderly clients within New York and New Jersey. The Emerest Connect Studio has been launched in collaboration with Samsung. Based in Brooklyn, Emerest Connect is a remote technology healthcare company founded by Josh Klein and Jack Bernath. It is dedicated to keeping senior patients healthy and happy within the comfort of their homes.
The Emerest Connect Studio is an all-encompassing studio that focuses on creating happier and healthier patients through interactive gamification efforts (games such as trivia and bingo), social work, group sessions, and guest appearances to educate/engage patients in classes such as embroidery, cooking, and more. The company is looking forward to expanding the Emerest Connect studio services across the nation.
“Original programming is the next step in keeping homebound patients happy, healthy, and engaged,” said Josh Klein, CEO of Emerest. “The studio will offer patients an amazing opportunity to take part in fun interactive games, social work, group sessions, and much more. At Emerest, we are not only focused on the physical well-being of patients but also the mental and emotional well-being.
“Emerest Connect Studio is our effort to ensure that our elderly community do not have to miss out on joy and fun even when they are homebound. Since it’s interactive, they will have something new and unique to experience with the studio. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to Samsung for believing in our mission and for collaborating with us.”
Located within the heart of Brooklyn, Emerest Connect is an initiative created by a dedicated team of home healthcare professionals that offers remote patient monitoring services. Emerest Connect services are delivered via an easy-to-use Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 tablet that can be operated by both caregivers and patients.
“By utilizing the Samsung TAB A Series Tablets, we are providing the nurses and personal caregivers speed and accuracy, all the while leveraging Samsung’s healthcare technology expertise to increase the efficiency and data accessibility for the mobile home care workforce of Emerest Connect,” said Trevor Smith, head of business development with Samsung Healthcare, Mobile B2B.
The remote tech-based healthcare platform supports patients with a comprehensive range of services, ranging from medication management to assistance from licensed social workers to remote vital sign tracking to on-call doctor visits and more. “We assist patients with diverse medication management services, including but not limited to medication refills, maintenance of medication schedules, change of medication when needed, and more. Our team works to create a customized medication schedule as per the patient’s specific needs,” said Chief Operating Officer Jack Bernath.
The Samsung tablet will provide access to live and on-demand content as part of Emerest Connect's telehealth program.
Emerest Connect also supports patients with 24/7 on-call nursing assistance, nutrition programs by certified nutritionists, and 24/7 ambulance service. The facility encourages the homebound elderly community to engage in an active social life through various social networking activities.
