AUGi: Enhancing Memory Care Safety With Science and Technology
At The Heritage at Fox Run, we’ve incorporated cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology into our care process. We use an artificial intelligence-enabled memory care monitoring system, AUGi, that provides comfort and security to residents and their families. AUGi carefully tracks residents’ movements and promptly notifies our team and loved ones of any activity that may necessitate assistance. We anticipate that this groundbreaking technology will help prevent falls and hospitalizations for our residents. AUGi is not just reactive, it provides predictive intelligence by identifying changes in behavior and conditions so our caregivers can address potential concerns and intervene earlier, resulting in even better care for your loved one.
