For Occupational Therapists (OTs)
You help people live on their own. Then you have to walk out the door.
OTs live in a reactive world, with little help on the tech side. NestCara is built to carry that load.
What we heard
Occupational therapists, rehab teams and assistive technology leaders told us what gets in the way.2
Your hair is on fire.
Labor is short and time is shorter. Every day is reactive: the next fall, the next assessment, the next discharge, and keeping someone out of the hospital.1
Nobody helps you adopt tech.
You're not afraid of technology. But there's no education, no training and no support, so clinicians stay tech-light in practice. Not by choice.2
Falls hide from the record.
More than 1 in 4 older people fall each year, but less than half tell their doctor. Falling once doubles the chance of falling again.3
Too many people get no OT at all.
One home safety founder told us he estimates about 15 million people in value-based care are at high fall risk and getting nothing, because an in-person OT is hard to get and nothing makes it back to the health record.2
Demand keeps growing.
OT jobs are projected to grow 15% from 2025 to 2035, with about 10,000 openings each year, as the older population grows.4
If it isn't simple, it won't happen.
Therapists need simple tools for quality of life, compliance, nudging, fall detection and behavioral support. If a tool adds work, a busy team can't take it on.1
How NestCara helps
NestCara keeps the plan of care going between visits.
- Nudges between visitsReminders on the TV for exercises, medicines and visits, plus a friendly daily check-in. Follow-through gets easier when the reminder is on the screen they use every day.
- Fall and fire safety built inFall Call for falls inside and outside the home. FireAvert for the stove.
- Check in without the driveVideo check-ins on the TV. Changes from the person's own normal get flagged, so you hear about them sooner.
- Built for remote therapeutic monitoringNestCara is built to support remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) for the work that happens between visits.
