Over the next 10 years, the number of elderly aged 85 and over will grow 38% doubling the number of seniors requiring healthcare support. Already today, there are over 400,000 unfilled nursing positions causing hospitals across the country to close wings or risk negative outcomes. As the baby boomers age, the declining ratio of working age adults to elderly will further exacerbate the shortage. Technology solutions which dramatically increase the effectiveness of healthcare professionals.

InTouch Health is addressing this challenge by pioneering the use of Remote Presence in healthcare. Through our proprietary communications and mobile robotic platform, caregivers can be projected to another location where a patient or caregiver is located to provide care, coach and train staff, or monitor healthcare services. The InTouch Health solution leverages the time and expertise of healthcare professionals across many care facilities improving the efficiency and effectiveness of care delivery.

InTouch Health’s Remote Presence Robot, RP-6, enables physicians to more easily and frequently consult and round on hospital based patients thereby improving hospital throughput, physician efficiency, and quality of care.

RP-6 is a wireless, mobile, remote presence robot that lets you "be in two places at once." Remote presence is the ability to project yourself to another location (without leaving your current location) and to move, see, hear and talk as though you were actually there.
