CARA

  1.                                                                             Medicine is first and foremost a service and service, by nature, necessitates the interaction between two parties; the servant and the served. In the case of medicine, it is essential that both parties not only maintain constant and positive interaction, but also that both is aware of the steps that the other is taking to benefit the issue at hand; namely, the health of the patient. Unless both parties are vigilant in doing their best to help improve the patient’s condition, the Physician-Patient relationship falls apart and both parties lose their fervor in trying to improve the ailed one’s health. To this day, many attempts at forging, maintaining, and making this relationship foolproof have fallen short of providing a convenient and effective conduit for continuously positive and active Physician-Patient relationships. Physicians are often too busy to provide individual patients – so much more so those with chronic ailments – the adequate amount of time to maintain this essential relationship. On the other hand, patients tend to lack the efforts and commitment to improving an ailment that seems to have no cure; thus, losing hope and slowly letting their vigor in maintaining their own health fade away. Improving this essential and potentially life-giving relationship, providing a convenient and mutually responsible method of interaction, helping to improve the lives of millions who suffer from chronic ailments, and easing the lives of the limited and busy physicians responsible for their care: This is where technology can change the world.   Bad  Connection?   Big  problem.  
  2.         + CARA +   THE CHRONIC AILMENT RELIEF Assistant     Introducing the world’s first comprehensive, secure, and personalized healthcare device to bridge the gap between patient and physician – home and hospital.   CARA is a revolutionary physician-patient health conduit that lives right in your own bedroom or home. CARA encompasses an array of cutting-edge biometric, artificial intelligence, and network connected technologies to provide a continuous and practically effortless means of interaction between physicians and their patients that suffer from a variety of chronic conditions. CARA addresses four of the main barriers to treating a chronic health condition by means of the revolutionary CARE system: How the CARE system works: Connection – A positive physician-patient relationship is the first and most essential factor that leads to successful treatment of a chronic health condition. By leveraging the most advanced - and secure - cloud and networking solutions available today, CARA continuously and effortlessly communicates vital and relevant information regarding a patient’s symptoms and biometric data to his/her physician. Likewise, CARA relays guidance and information from the physician back to the patient – always keeping the two in sync. Assistance – CARA; your resident medical expert - provides reminders, recommendations, and guidance that take the guesswork out of treating your chronic condition. Using cutting-edge AI software and an automatic medication organizing/dispensing unit, CARA effortlessly keeps you on track with proper medication dosing and timing while continuously learning how your body specifically responds to different types of treatment. Response – In any chronic condition, seeing improvement revitalizes one’s efforts. Equipped with a wide array of biometric data sensors, CARA collects information regarding a variety of vital signs and intelligently recognizes trends; highlighting improvements in your condition over time. This provides both patients and their physicians with essential information regarding progress – keeping them both motivated and on track. Encouragement – The worst feeling for any patient with a chronic condition is that they are alone in their struggle. By connecting patients with their network of family, friends, healthcare professionals, and support groups, CARA helps to encourage and inspire hope in patients suffering from chronic conditions – letting them know they are not alone and providing impactful and empathetic support throughout their treatment.

CARA also connects patients with fellow sufferers of the same condition, helping to let them know that they are not alone in their struggle and that help and support is always to be found. Physicians are left in the dark no more; CARA constantly communicates the entire wealth of your health data to your physician in real time. Physicians need to see effort on the part of the patient in treating a condition and CARA helps them do so effortlessly. Changes in your condition or biometric data that alarm CARA are immediately relayed to the physician through the mobile app. The Physician can then take the appropriate steps to solving the issue, right from the mobile app! The physician can tap into the CARA Base Station and have it recommend certain actions or guide the patient through any form of treatment. Connection encryption along with optional VPN setup keeps all of the data relayed by CARA both secure and only for your Physician’s use. A Physician has full access to the biometric data, health trends, and patient inputs collected by CARA so that he or she can both see a patient’s effort and make changes to treatment as deemed fit. CARA essentially brings the Physician into the patient’s home and keeps an open line of connection 24/7.
