Why Proactive Home Care

Many COVID-19 symptoms will not be severe enough to warrant a hospital bed, but it's not enough to simply wash our hands and pray for the best at home. We have an opportunity to use our collective experience to care for ourselves and loved ones at home.

  3. Contribute to lessening the strain on hospital staff by using smart home care and monitoring
