Thanks to revolutionary technological advances we are living longer, and perhaps as an outcome of those same advances, are having less children. The math is simple - more older adults and less working hands. Those in long term care have heard the alarm bells for decades, and with 9 out of 10 seniors preferring to age at home, this trend is not likely to reverse or slow down.

Thanks to an Israeli startup that is rapidly growing in the US homecare space, those who are aging in place now have access to an extra layer of comfort and care, even during hours when the human caregiver is not present. This new model puts forward a hybrid, holistic solution which blends targeted in-person care hours with 24/7 remote virtual support. Sensi’s Head of Clinical Develop
