Supporting Diabetes Management in Senior Living: Harnessing Technology for Better Health Outcomes

November marks American Diabetes Month, a time to raise awareness and support for the millions affected by diabetes. Within senior living communities, diabetes management is particularly vital, as older adults are more likely to experience complications from the disease. At Amba Health, we are dedicated to empowering senior living operators with technology that supports effective diabetes management, enhances resident well-being, and minimizes the burden on care teams.

The Challenge of Managing Diabetes in Senior Living

Diabetes in senior living is multifaceted, impacting residents' overall health and increasing the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, and visual impairment. Effective management requires regular monitoring, medication adherence, and personalized lifestyle adjustments. For operators, balancing proactive care with resident autonomy is crucial—and challenging.

Technology's Role in Improving Diabetes Care

Amba Health's innovative, non-intrusive monitoring solutions offer a streamlined approach to diabetes management, enabling operators to:

• Track Health Metrics in Real-Time: This data-driven approach allows for timely interventions, reducing the likelihood of diabetic complications.

• Support Medication Adherence: Automated medication reminders and tracking ensure residents adhere to prescribed regimens, reducing the risk complications.

• Enable Early Intervention with AI-Driven Insights: Amba’s AI analyzes trends over time, identifying early warning signs of deteriorating health, such as fluctuating glucose levels or changes in activity patterns, allowing care teams to address concerns before they escalate.

Benefits for Senior Living Operators

By integrating advanced monitoring and AI, senior living operators can enhance their care management by improving efficiency and outcomes:

• Reduce Hospital Readmissions and ED Visits: Proactive monitoring enables early intervention, reducing avoidable hospitalizations and emergency department visits associated with uncontrolled diabetes.

• Optimize Care Resources: Automated alerts and data visualization enable caregivers to focus on high-priority residents, enhancing workflow efficiency and care quality.

• Support Resident Independence and Dignity: Discreet sensors and automated features empower residents to manage their condition with minimal disruptions, fostering a sense of autonomy, improving overall quality of life.

This American Diabetes Month, let’s recognize the impact of diabetes on our senior populations and explore how technology can elevate the standard of care. With Amba Health and Care, senior living communities can prioritize proactive, personalized care that meets residents’ unique health needs while enhancing operational efficiency.
