CMS Chief Dr. Oz's AI Avatar Vision for U.S. Healthcare comes to life through Addison Care
Electronic Caregiver's Addison Care Delivers AI Avatar For U.S Healthcare. LAS CRUCES, NM / ACCESS Newswire / April 10, 2025 / Electronic Caregiver Inc., a nationally recognized innovator in virtual care, proudly announces that its flagship solution, Addison Care, is already fulfilling the bold future envisioned by Dr. Mehmet Oz, newly appointed Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In his inaugural meeting, Dr. Oz called for the widespread use of AI avatars in healthcare, citing them as a transformative, cost-effective way to expand access and alleviate workforce strain. 'AI costs $2 an hour. Doctors cost $100 an hour. Some people like talking to AI better than their doctor,' Dr. Oz stated, as reported by Becker's Hospital Review. Addison Care delivers far more. Developed with over $150 million in R&D, Addison Care is the world's most advanced 24/7 virtual caregiving solution-driven by a compassionate 3D AI avatar and integrated with a complete chronic care and remote patient monitoring (RPM) system. Addison is already being distributed to Medicare and Medicaid patients, with deployments beginning this month. Electronic Caregiver Inc., has been designing and providing innovative care solutions and services for over a decade, providing RPM and CCM services to tens of thousands of chronically ill patients, and managing hundreds of millions of points of priority data each year. 24/7 chronic care support and vitals monitoring. Medication reminders and management. Interactive wellness checks to identify symptoms, side effects, or adverse reactions. AI-powered WiFi activity monitoring to track kitchen and restroom visits, sleep/wake cycles, inactivity, failure to rise, and more-all without wearables or cameras. TeleCare integration for continuous monitoring, escalation handling, and sentiment analysis for quality oversight. 24/7 access to primary care physicians on demand. Emergency response via wearable devices with GPS and auto fall detection. Support for ADLs, caregiver guidance, physical therapy, and fitness routines. Cognitive support features for memory, focus, and motor skills, with interactive games that track reaction time, decision-making, and performance. All of this is delivered for just $8 a day, significantly under the affordability threshold Dr. Oz referenced, while offering dramatically more capability. 'We saw this future coming a decade ago,' said Anthony Dohrmann, CEO of Electronic Caregiver. 'We built Addison Care to become the standard of care, solving the very challenges Dr. Oz has just brought into the national spotlight.' As Dr. Oz calls for innovation to address the 30% of physicians and nurses expected to retire by 2030, Addison Care stands ready to scale supporting millions of aging, chronically ill, and disabled patients-while empowering family caregivers and relieving medical staff. Electronic Caregiver has already been identified as a top-tier innovator by Amazon, Google, Samsung, and Intel, recognized from a pool of 450 digital health solutions for its advanced architecture, HIPAA-compliant design, and impact.

The Virtual Home Care Revolution: How Addison Care is Transforming Private Duty Home Care
The future of home care is here, and it's virtual. LAS CRUCES, NM / / March 3, 2025 / Electronic Caregiver (ECG) is leading the charge in reshaping private duty home care with Addison Care, an AI-powered virtual caregiver that delivers 24/7 client oversight, maximizes revenue, opens new market opportunities, and addresses caregiver and client retention challenges-all for the low consumer cost of an $8-a-day service. Bridging the Gaps in Home Care with Virtual Support Home care providers continually battle competitors, new client adoption rates, clients lost due to events that occur between visits, and other financial roadblocks that impair growth and stability. Addison Care delivers not only 24/7 support for clients and caregiver management but provides a very important, cost-effective, 640 hours of additional client support per month. These hours represent a safety net between visits so home care providers have a client to come back to. This fills the gaps between the typical 80 hours of monthly contracted services for part-time live care. Addison Care helps ensure home care providers retain their hard-earned clients while offering continuous, value-enhancing care, with an added competitive edge that delivers peace of mind for clients and their families. Unleashing New Revenue Streams with Virtual Care Unlock a New Pipeline of Clients - Clinics, home care agencies, insurers, senior living communities, and other referral sources typically have 10x- 20x the number of virtual care leads, than those clients who need live care, leading to immediate new services and revenue, while also capturing the relationships with tomorrow's live-care customers. Convert More Leads from Advertising - Traditional home care leads who want and can afford 80 hours of live care each month, are limited, sometimes representing only 6% of call in inquiries. Virtual care opens a floodgate of new potential to convert more leads from paid advertising efforts. Addison Care provides an affordable entry point, turning those lost leads into active clients. Tap into an Underserved $53M+ Market - The number of Family Caregivers who are often juggling careers, multiple obligations and residences, and burdened with the overwhelm and high stress of caregiving, has increased by 10 million in just five years, up from 43M to 53M. Once seen as a competitor or "no-go" marketplace, family caregivers need virtual care support. Virtual care is their answer, providing relief, oversight, organization, and around-the-clock assistance to help both the caregiver and loved one live more safely, with more support, and greater emphasis and focus on self-care for both. AI Caregiving: Scaling Home Care Services Without Hiring More Staff With Addison Care, home care providers can deploy AI virtual carers to far more residential environments than they can serve with live caregivers alone, without investment or increased expenses, expanding reach, clientele, and rapidly growing new lines of revenue and their brand within their communities. Virtual care empowers home care providers with a 24/7 workforce of AI-driven digital care agents. It's like deploying thousands of income generating caregivers overnight-without payroll costs. Resolves caregiver turnover and recruitment headaches - Annual caregiver turnover can reach 77%. Virtual care revenue empowers home care providers with new resources not available with current profit margins, to create incentives to attract and retain caregivers. An AI workforce without the liabilities - No risk of no-shows, theft, mistreatment, or background check failures. Addison Care delivers consistent, high-quality service every time. Addison Aware: Discreet Activity Monitoring Delivers Added Value As part of the Addison Care system, Addison Aware powered by Cognitive Systems, enables discreet activity monitoring through Wi-Fi sensing technology. This innovative feature provides real-time insights into the activities of those receiving care, ensuring continuous monitoring without the need for wearable devices or intrusive technologies. With Addison Aware, families and caregivers can have peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are being closely monitored, with 24/7 on-demand insights to check on a loved one's overall activity levels and patterns. Family and Carers can get iOS or Android alerts if a family member rises from bed, fails to rise from bed, can view weekly trends for sleep patterns, and significant changes in activity levels in the bedroom, main living area, kitchen, and bath. A Public Relations Powerhouse AI-driven virtual care is not just a revenue engine-it's a media magnet. As 10,000 people turn 65 daily and demand for home care surges, agencies embracing AI will dominate headlines, local news, and industry discussions. The visibility and credibility gained from offering an innovative care solution can generate millions in equivalent advertising exposure. The Future is Here: Adapt or Be Left Behind Virtual care is becoming the new industry standard. Traditional home care providers that fail to integrate AI and digital solutions, risk market erosion and eventual consolidation. It's not about just scheduling or billing, it's about leveraging AI and digital technologies for quality of service, and income. The choice is clear: Go Addison Care or lose relevancy.

CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: AI to Transform Independent and Assisted Living With Addison Virtual Caregiver
The Competitive Edge in AI-Powered Senior Living Correction: The 'About...' Section needed to be updated to reflect both Electronic Caregiver and Addison Care. As well as some grammar/spelling corrections. LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO / ACCESS Newswire / March 1, 2025 / As the market demands excellence in resident care, Addison Care is revolutionizing independent and assisted living with its AI-powered virtual care solution. Offering unmatched support, safety, retention, and profitability, Addison Care empowers senior living communities to improve resident outcomes while reducing operational risks at just $8 per day. In a landscape where nearly all residents manage multiple chronic conditions and anywhere from 7 to 14 medications, treatment non-adherence accounts for 50% of health setbacks. Addison Care's 24/7 care management tackles this head-on, monitoring medication schedules and daily routines to extend functional lifespan and quality of life. 'Our goal is to help residents live longer, happier, and more comfortably,' says Erika Ruiz, COO at Electronic Caregiver, Inc., 'We're closing the backdoor of resident turnover-saving operators $12,000 to $15,000 per lost resident.' Post-COVID-19, infectious disease remains a top concern, with influenza and other illnesses historically plaguing communal living. Addison Care's advanced monitoring identifies early signs of infection, enabling swift isolation to prevent outbreaks in dining rooms and common areas. This proactive approach protects communities and restores family confidence shaken by past pandemics. 'The senior living industry has a great responsibility to ensure their residents are safe, secure, and supported, especially with consideration to the high number of those living with multiple chronic illnesses, complex treatment regimens, and at higher risk of falls, accidents, and infectious disease exposure,' said Anthony Dohrmann, CEO of Electronic Caregiver, Inc., and inventor of Addison Care. Loneliness, often called the silent killer, compounds these challenges as aging residents hesitate to report falls, symptoms, or side effects that'll burden loved ones or reveal declining abilities. Addison Care counters this with 24/7 companionship, delivering games, entertainment, and cognitive stimulation. Noninvasive AI Wi-Fi tracks sleep and movement, while family apps provide real-time updates, fostering engagement and transparency. Safety leaps forward with Addison's four-way emergency response system, on-screen touch, wrist wearables, and mobile GPS-replacing outdated pull cords and glitch-prone pendants that contribute to preventable mortalities and escalations. Early detection of health anomalies ensures rapid response to accidents and emergencies, keeping residents secure across the property. Negative chatter, a byproduct of resident deaths or departures, erodes trust as families question negligence and safety. Addison Care's proactive oversight minimizes these events, reducing liabilities and preserving the community's reputation. 'When residents thrive, families notice,' adds Dohrmann. 'We're not just enhancing care-we're strengthening bonds.' At $8/day (.34/hour) with a small one-time equipment fee, Addison Care delivers affordable excellence without extra staff or infrastructure. Managed by Addison's 3D Virtual Caregiver and telecare team, it integrates seamlessly with property staff, doctors, and families - freeing operators to focus on community, not healthcare logistics. Optional resident-pay programs even turn care into a revenue stream. Implementation is effortless: Addison provisions all technology conducts resident classes, provides ongoing support, and coordinates launch PR events to boost brand visibility. 'Traditional communities excel at filling units but lose revenue due to inadequate safety and health oversight,' says Dohrmann. 'Addison Care fixes that, keeping residents healthier, happier, and in place longer.' With Addison Care, senior living operators gain a competitive edge by elevating care, engagement, and trust while stabilizing income. The future of senior living starts today. About Electronic Caregiver Electronic Caregiver, the leader in innovative virtual care solutions, proudly offers Addison Care - an AI-developed platform designed to revolutionize senior living. With 24/7 support, enhanced safety features, and cost-effective care management, Addison Care empowers independent and assisted living communities to meet the growing demand for excellence.
