Chronic Illness

Chronic conditions like Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and respiratory diseases like COPD affect millions of older adults in the U.S. and can significantly limit physical activity.

​These conditions often lead to frequent hospital visits and increased caregiver reliance. Effective management requires regular monitoring of vital signs like heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure to prevent complications.

How PingCares Helps

The PingCares watch tracks vital signs, detects falls, and monitors activity, ensuring timely interventions and better care for those managing chronic conditions.

Jennifer shares how checking her mom's vitals, especially important blood oxygen levels, gives her peace of mind while caring from a distance.

Walt, who has congestive heart failure, shares how the watch makes it easy to monitor his vitals and stay connected with his daughter, who uses the app to track his health.
