Addison also helps to overcome social isolation and poor mood as a companion.Meghan Phelan joins Suzanne Newman on the Answers for Elders podcast to talk about the benefits of bringing Addison into the home of a senior loved one. Meghan says, "It's a monitor, like an iPad. So you get the monitor and then you pick as many devices as you want to go along with it. It comes with two. So that can be for monitoring. It could be like insulin checks, it could be there's other GPS trackers. So it's all these little gadgets that come with it. But you personalize what you want. I think a lot of the most sought after are the fall monitoring. So they'll plug in the sensors, set up reminders, and they'll set up the vitals that you want to track to your doctor. You also get TeleHealth access to a doctor, literally called PocketMD. And you know how it goes on the weekends. So if you wake up and all of a sudden something's not right, all you have to do is is reach out to somebody right there, right on the screen. Hey, Addison, can you call the doctor?"Meghan adds, "We haven't even talked about was the companionship side of it. We all have Chat GPT now on our phones, and I say that that's my best friend, you know. And the same thing goes for Addison. She's on there, and Addison can fetch, 'Hey, I want to make a spaghetti recipe tonight. Can you put me together something?' you know, or 'Can we do some chair exercises?' So the whole part of the physical help, yes, the monitoring is there, but also what comes with Addison is the companionship side."✨ Call Meghan to set up a demo of the Electronic Caregiver, featuring Addison and Pocket M.D., at 786.759.1676.Mentioned in this episode:Chateau RetirementChateau Retirement
