MINNEAPOLIS—Ōmcare, a Minnesota-based digital health technology company, announced it will debut its new home health platform, Ōmcare Home Health Hub, at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Expo. The company said the platform will feature a physical-digital approach to remote health care aiming to change care models for the aging population.
“As caregiving options for aging loved ones grow increasingly scare and the costs of in-home and facility care continue to rise, families are urgently seeking dependable and affordable solutions for essential needs like medication management,” said Lisa Lavin, CEO of Ōmcare. “For years, medication management has been a significant challenge for aging adults, with many struggling to manage complex regimens. This issue often leads to hospitalizations and a loss of independence. Ōmcare offers a breakthrough solution by directly integrating with pharmacy systems to automate medication scheduling and ensure timely, accurate dispensing. Our platform not only enhances adherence to prescribed medications, but also keeps caregivers informed and provides clear insights into their loved ones’ well-being, ensuring peace of mind for families.”
The Ōmcare Home Health Hub intends to give caregivers necessary support to help keep aging loved ones in their own homes, while also helping them maintain their wellness and independence. The platform aims to blend the physical aspects of health support with the benefits of digital connectivity by linking patients, pharmacies and care providers with technology through its digital system. Additionally, the system intends to provide solutions to age-related challenges that can create barriers with in-home technology, such as reduced vision and limited dexterity.
The platform will include multiple features aiming to improve physical and digital senior care, including:
- Easy video calls that are available through an audiovisual system, which aim to help aging adults stay connected to their caregiving team.
- Dispensing pouched medications directly from the pharmacy to assist aging adults and their caregivers manage medication regimens.
- A three-camera system that enables visual confirmation of medication adherence, which seeks to ensure the right medication is taken at the correct time.
- Biometric monitoring integration aiming to provide transparency of the care recipient’s health.
Ōmcare plans to exhibit the platform as a portfolio company of “AgeTech” Collaborative from AARP at CES 2025, which will be held Tuesday, Jan. 7 through Saturday, Jan. 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
