Patty, Roger, Welcome to the fifty five 20 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.359 Karasy Morning Show. I'm really happy you're able to come 21 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.719 in studio. I love having face to face conversations. 22 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.319 Thanks, Brian, You're. 23 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.040 More than welcome. You can feel free to talk. Roger 24 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.200 got shocked by the microphone. He grounded out. I think 25 00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.959 he's afraid of it now. He's just had some static 26 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:25.920 electricity built up. 27 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:26.359 Like Roger. 28 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.000 No one has ever been shocked by that thing. It 29 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.879 doesn't have current flowing through it. You're okay, But how long? 30 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.680 When did you start Hard for Seniors and more fundamentally, 31 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.760 what was your motivation behind starting this organization? 32 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.200 Well, I have to say, Brian, we started it actually 33 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.920 a few months ago when we actually became official and 34 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.000 did all the filings. But this has been ongoing for 35 00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.719 well over seven years. You know, there's a crisis that's 36 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.439 growing that nobody wants to talk about, and that's the 37 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.439 abuse and the neglect that's going on with our seniors, 38 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.359 our elder that are in these long term care facilities 39 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.680 and right you know, my parents are eighty seven years 40 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.879 old and I'm facing it every day. And it's like 41 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.400 when you look and see what's out there, from dehydration 42 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:21.080 to UTIs two skin breakdowns. It's something that is ugly 43 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.840 that nobody wants to talk about. And I really found 44 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.840 there was no technology around it. So HEART actually stands 45 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.479 for Healthcare Evolution, Alert Response Technology because at the end 46 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.039 of the day, it's all about quality, right, Like, what 47 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.159 is out there? If you have a loved one in 48 00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.400 a nursing home, how do you, as a daughter know 49 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:54.759 that there's not being taken care of. There's nothing that's 50 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.280 out there that can hold them accountable. So I actually 51 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.240 came to Roger, who's been in the healthcare industry forever, 52 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:07.240 and I knew this all started when my mom fell 53 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.080 and broke her hip, and at two am she called 54 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.240 me because she was very continent, even though she had 55 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.240 had the surgery, and she had been ringing the bell 56 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.919 and ringing the bell and nobody came in. 57 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.000 From a callite perspective, it was two am. 58 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:21.759 Oh my god. 59 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.919 So I drove thirty minutes to get to her and 60 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.840 I walked in. I have video that would just be 61 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.080 stunning that you just hear. It's like Christmas lights and 62 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.879 music going off, and I'm walking hall to hall to hall. 63 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.560 No one, no nurses, no a It's like no one. 64 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.240 I'm like, what is going on? 65 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.599 I can I ask you how long ago this occurred? 66 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:42.759 A year ago? 67 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.639 Okay, a year ago, a year ago. 68 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.680 Yeah. I was appalled. 69 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.199 The next day, I walked into the administrator's office and 70 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.560 I showed him the video and I said, really, what was. 71 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.240 The response you got to that? JA mumble? 72 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.479 I trayed a litigation attorney, so you know my litigation. 73 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.159 My bells are ringing and my and my wheels are spinning, 74 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.240 and I'm thinking this sounds actionable. I mean, this is 75 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.759 this is at minimum negligence. 76 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.039 Yeah. 77 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.639 Well, immediately he was embarrassed, you know, and of course, oh, well, 78 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.680 we're going to get you know, the don and all 79 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.279 these people because she was in rehab. And I'm and 80 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.079 at this point it was not just about my mom. 81 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.480 I was like, what about all these other people that 82 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.360 are sitting here as well, you know? And then and 83 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.160 then his thing was, well, you know, we hire these 84 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.720 agencies and people don't show up. 85 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.160 And I'm like, well, but I walked around. 86 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.279 I mean, the video is three to five minutes, no 87 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:38.439 one at two am. 88 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:39.800 I mean, where are they? 89 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.800 I was just going to ask you this. I mean, 90 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.439 That's why I asked where the timeframe was because my 91 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.319 father passed away just last week or week before two 92 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.000 years ago, and when he passed away, he was in 93 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.360 in Alzheimer's dementia care facility. And you know, thank God 94 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.879 for my mom. I mean, she you know, worked her 95 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.879 self to the point where she was almost in worse 96 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.040 shape than my father at home, until the point where 97 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.199 she really wasn't capable of caring for him twenty four 98 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.600 to seven, because you know, it's a twenty four to seven. 99 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:11.639 Thing, twenty four to seven. 100 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.639 So we got him into this facility. I'm not going 101 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.839 to name, I'm not going to detract from them, but 102 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:19.720 you know there were times when you walk through and 103 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.480 you're scratching your head, You're going hmmm. And when you 104 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.120 talk with the folks that work there, you really wonder 105 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.519 the caliber and quality of the person. These didn't seem 106 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.839 to be trained medical professionals. Like my expectation was the 107 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.199 place to be filled with nurses, you know, you know, 108 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.079 skilled nurses or just first books of a nursing degree 109 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.399 or something like that. Now, these were you know, lower wage, 110 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.920 sort of hourly employees, capable of maybe doing the cleanup 111 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.319 work and doing the meal prep, but beyond that that 112 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.360 was it. And Mom practically lived there next to them 113 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.600 making sure that he was well taken care of, because 114 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.319 quite often you felt like he wasn't. 115 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.160 Yeah, and this isn't. This is a crisis that isn't 116 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:01.759 going away. 117 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.120 I mean, you look at the aging population, right and 118 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:12.279 the biggest issues dehydration. UTIs so UTI's lead to say, right, yeah, 119 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.839 you know, and it's just it. Why is it right? 120 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.360 Why is it right that our loved ones are sitting 121 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.800 in urine and feces for more than twenty four hours? 122 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.839 Why? I mean, I know, it's well, it isn't. 123 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.600 That's I guess the question is everybody's like, well, what's 124 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.879 the answer to this? 125 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:31.439 You know? 126 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.920 And this is why I guess you formed the Heartforce 127 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.000 Seniors dot Org. 128 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:35.639 Yeah. 129 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.680 So I called Roger, who's been in this industry forever. 130 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:44.120 He had actually had created through with the help of 131 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.199 the University of Louisville and some other things. The technology 132 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.560 was there. The question was how do I get it 133 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.680 down to where my mom is right? And more importantly, 134 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.360 like how can we get this out to everyone? Because 135 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.839 more R and D needs to be done and again 136 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.600 it needs to be alert response technology. And so I 137 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.800 was very fortunate, I mean, with his trade association background 138 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.480 and just all the expertise that he's had in all 139 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.360 of his various companies. I knew that we could come 140 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:14.600 up with the technology. 141 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:15.680 Well, Roger, what is. 142 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.560 Your background and how is it you know you ended 143 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.000 up in this position to help out so many people. 144 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.920 Well, I began my career working in nursing homes as 145 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:30.240 a speech pathologist. Actually I worked with swallowing disorders and 146 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.759 patients who had trades or were events and things like that. 147 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.600 Became a nursing home administrator, ultimately managed over thirty nursing 148 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.160 homes in Ohio for about twenty five years. So I 149 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.800 was able to, you know, in that job, really see 150 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.560 where the weak spots were, where we struggled to really 151 00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.439 give the quality care I wanted. So that was extremely 152 00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.279 helpful for me to have gone through all that because 153 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.439 today when I look at it, what I realized over 154 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.279 time is ultimately we as a society, as a culture, 155 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:16.199 we've failed our elderly people. Big Tech America has failed 156 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.600 our elderly. Corporate America has failed our elderly people. We 157 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.519 cannot rely on government regulations punishment to modify this behavior. 158 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.720 To improve care. We have to in the private sector. 159 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.519 We have to get innovative. We have to solve the 160 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:39.080 problems and technology can do that. We've seen it here 161 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:44.679 locally at Batavia a nursing Home. Batavia Nursing Home, they 162 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.360 have done a wonderful job with some new technology. We're 163 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:53.200 literally seeing on the patients who wear that technology zero UTIs, 164 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:58.759 zero skin breakdown, very fast response times from the staff 165 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.639 to deal with inc continance care issues, how hydration, things 166 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:10.720 like that. The concepts are being proven and I'm just 167 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:13.799 amazed and very very pleased with what I'm seeing. 168 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.080 Okay, and since it is time for a break, you 169 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.600 have set the stage wonderfully for me to ask the 170 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.600 question how does this technology work? So we'll pause and 171 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:27.039 we'll bring them back. It's Heart number four Seniors dot Org. 172 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:27.639 Check them out. 173 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.080 We're going to continue the conversation with Patty and Roger 174 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.000 after a quick word here from my good buddies at 175 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.600 Foreign Exchange. You fix cars for less money now, and 176 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.279 you're not going to sacrifice anything by way of the 177 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.320 quality the expertise of the mechanics.

I save more than two hundred dollars 190 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.320 when I have my oil change there over the dealer. 191 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:10.080 That's right. 192 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.000 Save don't get a German car if you don't want 193 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.600 to deal with that headache. But you know, hey, that's 194 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.240 what I got. So that's what the cost it is. 195 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.919 So but I love saving that kind of money. And 196 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.440 over the years, I know I've saved thousands of dollars 197 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.240 with the Honda that we got to keep up and 198 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.960 my wife's German car in mind, So whether your car 199 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:28.000 is from a traditional European or Asian manufacturer, you're in 200 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.679 the best hands. And let me point out, they're all 201 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:35.159 trained on repairing and maintaining Tesla's now as well.

Got a 216 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.360 cloudy the inner hands DAGG going up to forty degrees 217 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.639 tonight overcasts with the possibility of a wintery mix thirty 218 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.519 for the overnight low. They say, we may start out 219 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.200 with that same wintery mix and it could change the 220 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.080 snow thirty five for the hei Tomorrow overnight low a 221 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.320 twenty five with clouds and a partly cloudy Saturday with 222 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.440 a higher thirty four it is thirty four right now 223 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.480 in time for traffic update. 224 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.320 Chuck Ingram from the UC how Tramphics Center for Unmatched 225 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.440 Cancer Care choose the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center, the 226 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:44.159 only regional program offering proton therapy called five one three 227 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.600 five eighty four beam inbound seventy four cruiser working with 228 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:50.879 an accident left lane before you got the seventy five 229 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.840 traffic starting to back up past Montana northbound seventy five, 230 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.799 A few break lights, butttermill towards Kyle's in southbound two 231 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.919 seventy five, and slow go between the Lawrence furg Ramp 232 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.799 and the Carol Cropper due to the roadwork. 233 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.720 Chat Ingram on fifty five KRSC the talk station. 234 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.120 Fifty five KRC the talk station. 235 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.960 Talking about the state of senior care and senior living 236 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.080 facilities and it's not very good. Patty Scott relayed her 237 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.919 own personal experience dealing with her mom and wandering around 238 00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.200 in the middle of the night, wondering where evernyone was 239 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.879 to help her with her g broken hip, bells, ringing 240 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.399 lights going off, knowing around to help out. Roger King 241 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.919 has is now working with Patty and they have formed 242 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.320 this five oh one to three ceed nonprofit. It's called 243 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.639 Heart four Seniors, the number four Heart Number four Seniors. 244 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.720 You can find the on line of heartfo Seniors dot org. 245 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.960 And Rogers set the stage given his long history of 246 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.000 dealing with these facilities and helping out folks living in them, 247 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.279 dealing with the breathing issues as he started out with, 248 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.519 and he's got a long career, so he was the 249 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.480 right man to tap for the job. We're talking technology, 250 00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.960 and how do we address the senior laying in a 251 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.840 bed having soiled themselves with no one around apparently to 252 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.799 help them out. You were getting ready to explain this technology, Rogers, 253 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.039 so let us learn from you. 254 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.879 So the technology involves especially made adult brief. It's disposable, 255 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:22.480 it's cost effective, and attached to that brief is a 256 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:27.840 very small module which communicates Bluetooth the Wi Fi and 257 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.159 talks to the staff on smartphones and alerts them when 258 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.679 the person soiled. And then the software creates a record 259 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:38.440 of when the event occurred, how long it took the 260 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:43.480 staff to get there, and further than indicates which staff 261 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:50.159 member responded for which resident, and then applies a reward 262 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.840 system for that staff so they get extra bonus points 263 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.480 and ultimately money for moving faster. Oh, that is awesome 264 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.200 in the form of gift cards and things like that. 265 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.360 So what we're seeing with that system the way it's 266 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:10.879 employed is average response times of about an hour, which 267 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.080 is far better than what we get using protocols. When 268 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.840 you look at nursing home protocols, they're doomed to failure. 269 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.720 They basically tell staff check on everybody every two hours. 270 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.799 Like Epstein, you're supposed to check on people. Yeah, sure, Hony. 271 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.240 In order to do that, the staff have to go 272 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:32.519 into the room reposition that resident either peek or smell 273 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.960 or touch. We're avoiding all that. We're not waking people 274 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.919 up in the middle of the night to do that. Now, 275 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.080 when you look at the numbers, it's interesting. I just 276 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.000 looked at a facility that had about one hundred patients 277 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.879 in it. Seventy of them were incontinent. When I do 278 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.320 the mouth on that, I say, well, if you're going 279 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.399 to check everybody every two hours, that's twelve times a day. 280 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:58.840 That's over eight hundred times a day for fifteen nurse aides. 281 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.480 That a'st going to happen. It's not ever going to happen. 282 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:06.919 So the protocol itself is basically a falsehood. You know, 283 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.440 everybody knows we can't get there. They're not going to 284 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:14.159 get there. It's it's just a mirage. I think there 285 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.759 are some really bad nursing homes where you may say 286 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.679 you may see people get changed once a shift. Now 287 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:25.200 when this happens, the outcomes, the potential outcomes, they are 288 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.399 really bad. You're going to get skin break down, You're 289 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.960 going to get incontinence related dermatitis. It may go deeper 290 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.240 into the tissue. It may ultimately create a pressure ulcer 291 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.600 which goes to the bone. You'll see urinary tract infections. 292 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.120 You're getting into your getting into potential sepsis, and I 293 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.519 see use stays and things like that. So this technology though, 294 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.200 think about skin and urinary tract infections. Is an example, 295 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.559 when you lay and you're a n feces for hours, 296 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.759 especially the female page, since that he coalies going into 297 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.639 the urinary track and we've got big problems. 298 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:06.679 Oh God. 299 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.559 What we saw recently in a study in this facility 300 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.159 involving about three hundred people is that biolink system is 301 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:20.639 what it's called, actually had zero skin breakdown, zero UTIs 302 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.159 when compared to the rest of the population which had 303 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.799 incidents over about a three or four month period of 304 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:29.919 about fifteen sixteen percent for both of those issues. 305 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:32.679 So it essentially. 306 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.320 Took the problem areas out problem outcomes to zero. 307 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:42.360 I see, the concept is so awesome, and it just 308 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:44.679 blows my mind that nobody thought of this before, has 309 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.600 rolled it out before, because this technology seems in modern 310 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.360 times to be fairly simple. We've got smartphone, smart devices, 311 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.720 we got sensors and gadgets literally everywhere. But I was 312 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:01.039 immediately thinking that the response's time it was going to 313 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.920 sort of be this threat of penalty if you didn't 314 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.640 get there. So you know, we're keeping track of how 315 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:09.039 long it takes, you know, and it's going to be 316 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.599 a marker on your record if you let this person 317 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.400 lay in there for a couple hours after you learm goes. 318 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:15.240 But the idea that it has a reward system built 319 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.000 into it it does is great. I don't know, man, 320 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.960 And the record is there. You can show the patient's family, 321 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:24.480 look how quickly we were able to deal with this 322 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.960 and how often it happens, and it just is awesome. 323 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:34.640 Well, interestingly, that same module monitors body temperature and it 324 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:39.480 will also indicate if somebody hasn't urinated in a certain 325 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:43.240 number of hours that they need fluids. So there's there's 326 00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.400 a lot that goes into it beyond just the incontinence. 327 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.279 It monitors positioning, so if it looks like somebody is 328 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.240 going to fall and they're in a bad positional, alert 329 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.920 on that. There's also a risk wearable device that's going 330 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.680 with it that monitors blood oxygen levels, It'll monitor heart 331 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.000 rate for techocardia bradycardia. It'll alert phones to the staff 332 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:13.119 on that as well as temperature device there. So you 333 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.200 can imagine in some facilities somebody could have a fever 334 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.039 for a long time before it's detected. We could have 335 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:25.119 pneumonia developing or some other viral infection things like that. 336 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.160 There's work being done on some dressings with chips embedded 337 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.000 that would alert staff to when a wound dressing needs 338 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.160 to be changed because it's saturated with exedate with blood. 339 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:46.920 There's neglect there. It's basically the idea is use technology 340 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:53.720 to identify potential needs, alert staff carrying smart devices to 341 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.599 go check that resident and assess and deal with that need, 342 00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:03.000 and then document with the software how well everybody did 343 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.680 an alert went out, did they respond and how fast. 344 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.839 I tell you, Roger, that's mind blowing. That is so cool, 345 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:16.519 and I can't imagine a facility not wanting to adopt that. 346 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.880 And again, going back to my litigation mindset, I mean, 347 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:23.680 this would avoid so many problems, so many potential lawsuits, 348 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.720 would avoid so much heartbreak, It would avoid so much 349 00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.359 death and struggles and pain that goes along with all 350 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:35.440 these conditions that manifest themselves because of neglect. Boom problem solved, 351 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:40.200 Roger King, Patty Scott, it's again heart the Number four 352 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:45.240 Seniors dot Org. Amazing stuff, wonderful developments technologically speaking, and 353 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.240 a brilliant concept. I applaud both of you for this. 354 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:48.640 Again. 355 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.720 I keep thinking of my dad and what a wonderful 356 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.759 thing that would have been if had they had this technology. 357 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.279 Where he was and he was in again, I'm saying 358 00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:59.519 he was in really pretty good hands, at least in 359 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.759 so far these institutions are concerned. 360 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.960 Real quick, go ahead, yeah right now, Just for everybody's information. 361 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.160 This technology is in four nursing homes in Ohio. We're 362 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.039 expanding to six more in January. Our goal is to 363 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:16.839 get into fifty next year. We need funding, you know. 364 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:20.920 That's the whole purpose of Heart for Seniors to get 365 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:26.960 donations to help expand these concepts.

Wow, 371 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.319 as soon as I got enough time to fill out 372 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.079 the form here, which shouldn't take more than a couple 373 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:50.920 of minutes. But I God bless you for the work 374 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.960 you're doing, and I'll make the donation of my excuse 375 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:59.279 me having an allergy attack thinking of my dad, So 376 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.920 thanks for what you're doing. Good evening in studio too, 377 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.359 and we'll get to I guess we're going to take 378 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.640 a break here and we'll be talking to the Disabled 379 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:13.640 American Veterans Dan Clare, chief Communications Officer about the Disabled 380 00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:17.880 American Veterans Patriot boot Camp coming up. Stick around, folks, 381 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:22.039 be right back after I mentioned affordable medical imaging where 382 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.119 you can get you know, CT scans, MRIs and all 383 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.400 that stuff for a very very low prices, save yourself 384 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.359 thousands of dollars over the hospital imaging department where they 385 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.839 will literally charge you thousands of dollars to get a 386 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.480 CT scan. You get a separate bill for the board 387 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.279 certified radiologists. Ye, how much a CT scan is without 388 00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.160 a contrast, it's four hundred and fifty bucks. At Affordable 389 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.119 Imaging Services, you get a contrast at six hundred. You know, 390 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.759 it's like ten percent of what you probably pay at 391 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.599 the hospital. Just one illustration of the massive savings you 392 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:52.480 can achieve. You have a choice when it comes to 393 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.519 your medical care. It's really low overhead. I got a 394 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.519 CT scan and affordable, and so don't expect all kinds 395 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:00.720 of bells and whistles. But they got the same equipment 396 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.240 the hospital has. Through what you're paying for is a 397 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.119 bunch of bells and whistles, and of course you're helping 398 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:07.519 the hospital pay for all that overhead that they have. 399 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.160 Don't do it, call them up, schedule the appointment at 400 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.400 five one three, seven, five three eight thousand, five one 401 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.839
