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.

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.
