Reducing Burden for Geriatric Patients & Caregivers

Reducing Burden for Geriatric Patients & Caregivers

Client: A nationwide home healthcare provider servicing elderly patients on blood thinners.
Challenge: Patients with dexterity or vision impairments, often assisted by untrained family caregivers, had difficulty with multi-step vial-and-syringe protocols, raising safety risks.
Solution: Roll-out of our "E-Z Dose" auto-injector featuring large fonts, a grip-friendly shape, an audible readiness signal, and automatic needle retraction after injection.
Result:

• Administration errors documented by visiting nurses dropped to near zero for patients using the E-Z Dose.

• Caregiver confidence scores improved by 80%.

• The home healthcare provider reported a measurable reduction in follow-up calls related to injection confusion.

• Contract solidified into a preferred vendor agreement for all the provider's injectable therapies, totaling 1,000+ units annually.
