How to Teach an Old Dog New Tricks - The Care sector
The care industry, encompassing carers, care homes, assisted living, daycare centres, and domiciliary care, has traditionally been slow to adopt new technology. This reluctance stems from several factors:
1. Workforce Demographics: Many care workers are from older generations, have lower levels of education, or are foreign nationals, making them less tech-savvy.
2. Cost and Fear of Failure: The high cost of technology and the fear of its potential failure also contribute to the slow adoption
However, the landscape is changing with the introduction of several key technologies:
AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize the care sector by providing personalized support. AI systems can learn about the individuals they care for, engaging with them in meaningful ways and offering tailored assistance.
Robots
Robots are being developed to personalize the interaction process in caregiving. They can assist with physical tasks, provide companionship, and even help manage cognitive decline.
Data Collection and Management
Effective data collection through advances in wearables and data management will enable the monetization of the personal data captured daily in care settings. This data can be used to improve care delivery, predict health outcomes, and streamline operations
Blockchain and Crypto
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies will enhance security, ensure self-ownership of data, and provide rewards for care activities. This technology offers a transparent and secure way to manage and share health data.
ReMeLife and RemindMecare Leading the Way
ReMeLife and RemindMecare are well known for being at the forefront of integrating tech into the care sector, from home care to care homes.
Their metaverse ecosystem may be on temporary hold, but their Care2Earn blockchain-based rewarded care model, will launch in early 2025.
The ReMeChain blockchain provides a means for anyone involved in care to earn a passive income through a Care-to-Earn token system, that fosters a community ecosystem that enhances person-centred care.
Equally as exciting is their 'in the works; integration into the ReMeLife ecosystem, of 'AI4U', an AI LLM-based personal care agent with an avatar guide, Blui, that looks like bringing a transformation as to how care is delivered. https://remelife.com/ https://remindmecare.com/.
These developments are here or coming soon.
You can view the ReMeLife ecosystem, download the RemindMecare app, and join the AI4U community to be part of the beta today. Or do you want to be the last to know?
