Elara Caring Partners with Constant Therapy to Deliver First AI-Driven Speech-Language and Cognitive Therapy at Scale
April 17 2024 - 7:05AM
Elara Caring, a leading national home health provider offering
high-quality clinical and personal care services across the patient
continuum, has partnered with Constant Therapy Health – a next
generation digital health company – to be the first in the home
health industry to bring AI-driven, evidence-based speech-language
and cognitive therapy to home health clinicians and patients at
scale.
Insights available through Constant Therapy’s enterprise
platform complement Elara Caring’s use of population health data,
improving care plans for patients with neurological disorders. With
the partnership, Elara clinicians can now deliver a
highly-personalized course of therapeutic exercises – and measure
patient progress – to best meet the needs of patients recovering
from conditions such as stroke, brain injury or dementia.
Simultaneously, Elara patients are given unlimited access to the
Constant Therapy mobile app – allowing them to maintain
engagement with their therapy program outside of their scheduled
clinical visits.
“Elara Caring is well recognized for its use of advanced
technology and data insights that help proactively treat and
monitor patients,” said Mark Salley, VP of Innovations and Rehab
Solutions, Elara Caring. “We are wholeheartedly dedicated to
delivering compassionate, cost-effective care to our patients by
leveraging the latest and most innovative tools available. With the
integration of Constant Therapy’s digital program, we’ve improved
therapeutic outcomes and look forward to building on our
momentum.”
Added Salley, “We employ 26,000 caregivers across 17 states. By
streamlining the design of personalized therapy programs – and
efficiently documenting patient progress – we aim to alleviate
clinician burnout, promote workplace wellness, and solidify Elara
Caring’s position as an employer of choice.”
“Elara Caring, a trailblazer in the home health industry, is
revolutionizing patient care through cutting-edge technology and
data-driven solutions,” said Veera Anantha, Founder and CEO,
Constant Therapy Health. “As we collaborate with Elara Caring,
we’re excited to contribute to their mission of delivering
exceptional, personalized care to every patient they serve who is
diagnosed with a neurological disorder or brain injury.”
