Linked Senior and CareWorx Sign Deal to Offer Advanced Engagement Solutions to Combat Dementia

Posted on July 21, 2014

Engaging Seniors With Technology Designed To Help Support Person Centered Care

CareWorx announced today that Linked Senior has requested it’s first large order of interactive touch screen devices for use with it’s cloud based dementia and therapy engagement software for the senior housing market. The touch screens, supplied by CareWorx, will be used by residents of senior care facilities and their families to engage with and “play” interactive software designed to nurture and stimulate memory care for all levels of dementia.

“Being able to provide seniors with the tools they need to help improve their lives is a top priority for our organization,” said Mark Tomzak, CEO of CareWorx. “Linked Senior is enormously important in that respect, and having them choose our touch screens for their durability, user friendliness and reliability in uncertain environments helps us make a difference.”

Shared clients by both companies are now leveraging the best combination of software and hardware designed specifically to suit the needs of a senior care environment. The initial roll out of screens to Linked Senior customers piloted the newest hardware from CareWorx that showcased not only the potential behind the interactive component of the Linked Senior software, but the ability for flexible expansion of the technology platform for the near future. The key benefit CareWorx screens offer over traditional “consumer available” products stems from their durability. More than 10 years of experience in senior care facilities has provided ample front-line exposure to help CareWorx design hardware rugged enough to withstand the 24/7/365 environment that is senior care.

“After careful consideration, we are very excited to partner with such a reputable company as Careworx“, said Charles de Vilmorin, Linked Senior CEO. “The quality, durability and user friendliness they offer aligns with the level of service we expect for each of our clients. Careworx is the type of partner that helps our clients focus on care, deliver outcomes and enhance the lives of people living with dementia by lowering their technology concerns and maximizing their operational availability.”

Linked Senior provides custom, person centered experiences in retirement communities through touchscreen interfaces and a 100% web based platform.  Residents, staff and families have access to meaningful engagement and stimulation no matter the background of the person or their physical or cognitive journey.
