How Remote Care Management helps seniors feel less lonely and healthier
Loneliness is not just emotional, it is a public health challenge. In the United States, more than half of adults report feeling lonely regularly1. For older adults, this sense of isolation can lead to serious consequences for both emotional well-being and physical health. Remote care management offers a compassionate and effective solution that brings support, consistency, and better health directly to people’s homes.
What is Remote Care Management and why is it so effective?
Remote care management is a model of healthcare that connects patients with care teams through technology. At Medsien, each patient is matched with a dedicated Care Partner who communicates regularly, monitors the patient’s condition, and offers day-to-day support in managing chronic illnesses from home.
This approach goes beyond traditional care. It creates meaningful human connection, which plays a key role in improving both emotional and clinical outcomes.
Loneliness in older adults Is rising
Studies show that 43 percent of adults over the age of 60 report feeling lonely2. This loneliness is linked to higher rates of heart disease, depression, cognitive decline, and hospital readmissions3. The U.S. Surgeon General reports that loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day.4
The good news is that consistent care and conversation can help change this.
Personalized Remote Care supports connection and improves outcomes
Medsien’s remote care management services are designed to create real relationships. Patients are not only monitored for their health, but they are also supported as individuals.
Here is what makes Medsien’s approach unique:
