Independa Launches Angela Express for Effortless Setup of Turnkey Social Connectivity

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (January 7, 2014) – Independa, Inc. (www.independa.com), the leader in integrated resident-facing technologies, today launched a streamlined Express setup version of its award-winning Angela solution for remote care.  Angela Express is specifically designed for the high-paced environment of short term rehab communities who are emerging as key players in transitional care delivery.

Angela Express offers care facilities and organizations a fast and convenient plug n’ play version of the integrated Independa Angela platform.  Express sets up in less than 2 minutes and offers turnkey social connectivity between rehab residents and their family and friends.  Video chat, photo-sharing, Gmail, Facebook and broadcast messaging produce instant, effortless yet powerful connectivity to an individual’s circle of care, and importantly expands the universe of social engagement available to care recipients during their short stay.  All of this is delivered through an Independa-embedded LG Electronics HD TV in a cost effective subscription model, branded for each Enterprise.

“As leaders in this explosive growth market, Independa is introducing yet another groundbreaking innovation that sets the standard for ease of deployment by enterprise users. The important social connectivity offered by Angela Express instantly empowers the family support machine that is so critical to the care of our residents,” said Michael Perry, Chief Operating Officer of The WellBridge Group, which offers state of the art post-acute rehabilitations and nursing care and communities that dramatically improve the hospital to the home experience and outcome. “Demonstrating keen market insight, Independa Angela Express syncs perfectly with the current trend in applying technology to better manage the costs of Hospital to Home transitions, and is playing a key role in our strategy of leveraging technology to help our patients have the utmost healing experience at WellBridge.”

When care recipients are discharged, Rehab facilities can effortlessly follow care recipients home with the full integrated Angela interface to support self-care, remote care, medication management, remote health and activity monitoring, wellness management and continued social engagement.  “This kind of visibility adds tremendous value to transitional care system with the potential to interrupt expensive hospital readmit patterns, and improve ongoing care for individuals in their residence,” said Dr. Richard D. Della Penna, Chief Medical Officer of Independa.

 “With Independa Angela Express, Rehab facilities can introduce a powerful yet simple solution to promote wellness, social connectivity and healing during the short term stay and pave the way for a facility-branded home care offering upon discharge,” said Independa CEO, Kian Saneii.  “As an enterprise-centric company, we have designed Angela Express to be an effortless and yet powerful and scalable solution for Rehab Facilities of any size and geographic reach to expand their offerings and competitive advantage, while exceed their key business objectives.”
