CarePredict™ Wearable Sensor Helps Sandwich Generation Catch Health Decline in Seniors from a Distance
Mon, 01/27/2014 - 16:43 - Laurie Orlov
Davie, FL — January 27, 2014 — Satish Movva, inventor of the world’s largest SaaS Homecare & Hospice platform and Founder of ContinuLink, is at it again with his new wearable invention that helps adult children keep track of their aging parents’ health from afar.
Adults living in the sandwich generation often struggle to keep up with the demands of working, taking care of their parents, and raising family of their own — among others.
Satish Movva created his new system with his own parents in mind, both of whom are over the age of 75 and aging in their own home. As a husband and father of three children, two of whom are infants, Movva is familiar with the challenge faced by approximately 10 million Americans.
“During my weekly visits to my parents,” says Movva, “they had changes in behavior or activity levels which, if I had I been aware of them, I would have intervened to get them help before it became an emergency.”
CarePredict™ Tempo™ is a sensor worn by seniors which tracks not just activity, but also location within the home, learning normal patterns of living of an individual, and, finally, alerting loved ones when there is a potentially concerning change in the pattern. Although the sensor is predicted to be used for seniors aging independently at home, Movva envisions Tempo™ also being used in group living facilities.
Tempo™ lets you spot health decline — sometimes before anyone senses something’s wrong — by tracking small daily changes and comparing that to normal patterns. The device senses not only activities such as sitting, standing, and walking, but also location in the house, combining them to provide sophisticated readings on a loved one’s changes in tempo. The readings are sent to caregivers via text or email with Tempo’s™ mobile app.
“We try to find a balance between competing demands on our time,” says Movva. “Any undue time spent on one reduces time available for the others. When taking care of our parents, if we can spend a little bit of time upfront to forestall a larger problem… it is well worth the investment.”
CarePredict™ Tempo™ will be available on the market this fall, and pre-orders are available immediately. For more information, visit http://carepredict.com/.

CarePredict™ is an organization based in Davie, Florida. Founded by Satish Movva, the company’s team also includes Krishna Vedala, who led the construction of the sophisticated Tempo™ system, and a board of advisors that includes doctors, specialists, and healthcare entrepreneurs.
