Building Connected Care for Hawaii
John Day and I started Maui AgeWave LLC because we’re concerned about the ability of people to age in place in Hawaii and elsewhere. As social entrepreneurs, we’re using a for-profit company to try and expedite the application of digital telehealth technologies to aging in place issues.
We have a vision of a “connected care system” -initially on Maui- which will aggregate and integrate a continuum of helpful telehealth tools.
People in their homes, caregivers/relatives, and healthcare providers will be better connected under the system we envision. Healthcare outcomes will improve. Costs will be lowered.
We recognize that there are many diverse telehealth tools and “connection” systems already in place around the world. Our mission is to stay in touch with what’s going in this domain and begin building a Maui Connected Care System as soon as possible.
We’re aware of many of the resistances to change that will hamper our efforts; however, we’re determined to work diligently as change agents to fulfill our vision.
We invite any companies and individuals with technologies and expertise in telemedicine to collaborate with us to build a connected care model on Maui which can -once proven for its cost/benefits- be replicated elsewhere.
