Customer Quotes from Alive Medicare, inc CEO, Mr. Yasuda.

How Voxela is Benefitting Alive Medicare’s Management:

“Voxela VCare addresses the core issue of managing a care business by enabling true productivity improvement. This single-camera solution from Voxela is comparable to having a care manager and a dedicated 24-hour monitoring staff in every room. It watches over the rooms and effectively identifies multiple care needs, providing clear suggestions for each. As a result, we have been able to reclaim the ‘time’ we once believed was only attainable through labor-intensive methods. This reclaimed time is reinvested in direct interactions between our staff, residents, and their families, creating higher satisfaction, improving occupancy and retention rates, and transforming our revenue structure into a ‘win-win-win’ model that fosters overall well-being.”

How It Supports On-Site Operations:

“Thanks to Voxela VCare, we can now understand the state of each room in advance, prioritize our responses to nurse calls, and greatly enhance our ability to predict, detect, address, and prevent incidents like falls. We expect it to contribute to resolving many care challenges. For issues such as dementia-related BPSD and other care challenges, having data-driven insight into 'timing,' 'frequency,' 'location,' and 'observed behaviors' gives us a powerful advantages in providing effective care. This allows us to deliver appropriate care at an early stage, which can lead to potential improvements in residents’ conditions. Moreover, this information is anticipated to be instrumental in supporting the learning and growth of our staff.”

Future Outlook

The number of facilities using the product has steadily increased in the two years since its release. With the funds raised in this round, the company aims to further enhance its features and accelerate domestic and international adoption. By combining innovative technology with a deep understanding of the industry, the company will continue to update and expand its caregiving solutions, ensuring that elderly people worldwide can live with dignity and their families can live with peace of mind.
