As the aging population rapidly shifts from working age to retirement age, senior care becomes more strained from the growing population of seniors needing care and the shortage of caregivers entering the labor market. In 2023, Dr. Wang discovered that his cousin owned an assisted living community. He then went and worked in this community, where he saw caregivers improperly charting due to overwhelming workload and absence of modern user-centered tools. Dr. Wang realized that modern electronic charting could generate actionable data to better care for seniors. This included algorithmic analysis of older persons drug prescriptions, decreasing medication lists by 30% and expensive hospitalizations by 25%, simply by eliminating dangerous and non-evidence-based drugs. This is just one exciting feature of WD-Home.
