![]() As we build out these next generation solutions, it'll be incredibly important that a provider is the key stakeholder in what we build and what we design.ĭANIEL KRAFT: The future of health care may look very different. On top of that, the app acts like a 360 degree view of what's going on in the home. I can even push buttons that call out proactively a caregiver through the caregiver app, and have a two-way voice communication anywhere in the world through the Smart Hub with Symphony. Would you like me to call 911? And can recognize the voice commands and prompts. If I say emergency, emergency, emergency, the Symphony unit will automatically turn on and say, would you like me to call your caregivers? Unlike other types of technologies that do this today, Symphony can recognize voice. And with the product that we just launched, CVS Health Symphony, as you could see, it's a really well-designed next generation-looking orchestrator of health and safety in the home. We've been really looking at how do we just seamlessly interact with health care providers and health care services from CVS. Let's take a look at some of the new devices making a home a safer place for seniors.ĪDAM PELLEGRINI: The health hubs are a fantastic place for seniors that want to get educated on new technologies, that want to get educated on what are the next things to help them based upon their personal needs. So I think that there's going to have to be a kind of reinvention with huge financial considerations there.ĭANIEL KRAFT: Technologies like telemedicine are more important than ever. So the last 10 years of our lives, many Americans- most Americans- are living with some kind of chronic degenerative disease, and maybe even some kind of physical ailment that's holding them back from just living a vital active life. MADDY DYCHTWALD: We have average life expectancy about 79. And so who wants to spend the last 7, 8, 10, 15 years of their life in pain or not able to be independent or with loss of cognitive functions? There's many countries around the world that have a much higher health span and life expectancy lifespan than we do. KEN DYCHTWALD: There's life span and then there's health span. But I think that if you instill the message early enough that young people will catch on and start taking action.ĭANIEL KRAFT: Can you maybe explain the difference about just life span versus health span? MADDY DYCHTWALD: People are going to have to be able to reconcile the fact that they have to plan for their present and for their future self at the same time. Let's smarten ourselves up about how to deal with aging bodies. And so you're going to see everything from the way we design our automobiles to the size of the typeface and our printing materials to the skills needed to be a health care practitioner to the role models we're going to see in movies and TV shows are going to increasingly become older men and women. And so on top of this longevity revolution, most of the growth in American demography is taking place in maturity. ![]() And they average just under four kids each.Īnd so that baby boom is now becoming and age wave. ![]() In 92% of all women who could have kids did. ![]() And the Depression and the war was such a dark period, there was so much exuberance that followed it. ![]() KEN DYCHTWALD: We had birth rates declining for about 150 years in America. Can you help summarize kind of what's here and what's coming, because I don't think many of the folks listening, health care practitioners included, really realize what's ahead of us in the next couple of decades? Let's begin by defining who we're talking about. New technologies are making it possible for more seniors to continue living independent lives by receiving care at home.īut as they say, in many ways, the future is already here.
