Do you feel your company is the strongest player in the market? If so, why?
Independa addresses the technology-enabled independent-living market. Others refer to this space as aging in place, remote patient monitoring, or independent living. Independa stands out in providing a comprehensive, integrated and easy-to-use suite of solutions to help family members and professionals care remotely for aging adults. We offer a growing array of health and safety reminders and monitors, along with social engagement tools. Designed specifically for older adults, our solutions are simple and user-friendly, as well as customizable and scalable. The person being cared for need not be computer-savvy, while the caregiver can access a central dashboard from any Web-based device.

Do you have new products/services? If so, please elaborate on their features.
At CONNECTIONS, we will be announcing the launch of a powerful solution that will make it easy and inviting for aging adults living alone to engage in fun social activities – from video chats to email to Facebook – without being computer-savvy. This latest addition to our integrated telecare suite will reduce social isolation and provide new ways for relatives and professionals caring for the elderly to keep in touch.

What is your company’s mission?
We are dedicated to providing integrated telecare solutions to enable elderly people needing virtual care to continue living longer, more safely and more comfortably in their own homes. Our Independa platform makes it easy for family and professional caregivers to support and monitor recipients’ health and safety, as well as encourage social interaction. For baby boomers looking after their parents, we provide a cost-effective, real-time answer to the key question: “How is my loved one doing?”
