Landscape & Problem
A Multi-sided Problem
SENIORS Seniors want to feel independent, but in reality, the majority need assistance with their activities of daily living (“ADL”).
H E A LT H C A R E PROVIDERS Long-term health care facilities (“LTHC”) are known for being understaffed. Many doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers struggle to manage a broad scope of tasks, including completing ADLs.
FA M I L I E S Families of seniors want them to receive the most thorough care possible, but often lack resources, time, proximity, etc.
The senior population is growing at an increasing rate in the US: approximately 63% of the population is comprised of people over the age of 65 (6.3 million). Families are having fewer children today. Additionally, over 8 million people receive support from long-term care services each year. Whether professional or family, the number of caregivers is declining. For example, in 2002, the minimum ratio of patient to caregiver in a Florida nursing home was 1:40 -- this gap continues to widen. https://www.cga.ct.gov/2002/rpt/2002-R-0091.htm https://www.caregiver.org/selected-long-term-care-statistics https://www.caregiver.org/selected-long-term-care-statistics

How might we...
...Improve and optimize senior care in LTHC facilities in a seamless way (understanding that the vast majority have cognitive decline), without robbing seniors of their sense of independence? ...lessen the load for healthcare providers such that they can focus on each individual patient’s needs and provide/ complete ADL assistance efficiently? ...reduce anxiety and stress for families of seniors, to make room for peace of mind?

The Technology
Sleep Index
Heart rate, blood flow and pressure
Alcohol and medication levels
Biosensors According to Stanford Medicine magazine in its third issue of the year 2015, the term “biosensor” is short for “biological sensor” and indicates a high technology device that is made up of a transducer and a biological element that may be an enzyme, an antibody or a nucleic acid. In his article, “Understanding the Science of Biosensors”, Dr. Harold Buickerdon explains that the basic function of this technology is expressed when the bioelement interacts with the analyte being tested and the biological response is converted into an electrical signal by the transducer. Parts of a biosensor
Blood glucose, oxygen and lactate (determines physical exhaustion) levels
Electromagnetic frequency sensitivity (determines liver, kidney and heart function)
Nutrients: proteins, vitamins, electrolytes, metabolites, amino acids
Every biosensor comprises - A biological component that acts as the sensor - An electronic component that detects and transmits the signal Biosensor probes are becoming increasingly sophisticated, mainly owing to a combination of advances in two technological fields: microelectronics and biotechnology. Biosensors are highly valuable devices for measuring a wide spectrum of analytes. Biosensors are devices comprising a biological element and a physiochemical detector that are used to detect analytes. Biosensors can provide cost-effective, easy-to-use, sensitive and highly accurate detection devices in a variety of research and commercial applications.
Breathing index
Body Temperature, dehydration, heat stress
14_
Heart rate, blood flow and pressure
Concussion impact
Movement: gait, steps, distance, calories burned
Early warning signs of some diseases, including influenza, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
Quantum Magnetic Resonances Based on the Oxford Medical Dictionary “Quantum Resonant Magnetic Analyzer Technology” is a high-tech innovation, which is related to medical, bioinformatics, and electronic engineering. It is based on quantum medicine, and scientifically analyzes the human cell’s weak magnetic field through the use of an advanced electronic device. The quantum resonant magnetic technology is an individualized guide that provides a comprehensive health analysis, and its characteristics and advantages are non-invasive, practical, and simple. Tracking data Merging this both technologies into the development of a tracking insole the data that this would be able to collect would be: - Electromagnetic frequency sensitivity (determines liver, kidney and liver function)

SRAM-D Card
Quantum Magnetic Biosensor Electro-optimal Amplifier
Piesoelectric Transmitter
- Heart rate, blood flow and pressure - Blood glucose, oxygen and lactate (determines physical exhaustion) levels - Breathing index - Nutrient levels such as proteins, vitamins, electrolytes, metabolites, amino acids - Body temperature, dehydration, heat stress - Movement (gait, steps, distance, calories burned) - Concussion impact - Medication levels - Early warning signs of some diseases, including pneumonia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Technology implementation - SRAM-D card - Piesoelectic transmisor - Electro-optimal amplifier - Quantum Magnetic Biosensor How it’s achieved - The first step would be that one of our in-house professional orthotic doctors would visit the long-term health care facility to scan (with Solescan Rubra is a three-dimensional scanner based on laser light, which enables the acquisition of precise and reliable digital data of the foot) in order to detect the main pressure point of the patient’s step. With this examination the podiatrist would determinate the specifications the othodic and ergonomical specifications the insoles would have to have.
SCAN
3-D PRINT
SMART INSOLE
Scanning the anatomy of the patients feet detects major pressure points.
3-D printing the insoles makes them customized, medical, and ergonomically correct
Tracking the health of patients through the sensors translates to data in the software
- Once the specifications from our senior podiatrist are registered the subortholen base shell would be 3-D printed (in a uPrint SE Plus with FDM Technology industrial printer) with the entire requirement for the patient and the preparations needed to support the sensor technology. - The biosensors are pleased in the adequate pressure points dictamine by the patients step within the rest of the components needed for the data to be tracked and transmitted to the software. - The micro neoprene and polyethylene foams are placed in the top part of the insole to give a comfortable and smooth feeling to the product without enabling the registration of the data collection. Thanks to the high sensitive technology of the biosensors the usage of socks will not conflict with the data collection either.
16_
17_
- The SRAM-D card is in charge to decode and collect the data tracked from the sensors meanwhile the piezoelectric transmitter is the key piece to transfer this information in a wireless form to the software. - Once the insole is assembled and passes quality control as well as the inspected to cover technology regulations the insole would be fitted on the patient. - As part of the service the software technicians would install and train caregivers. This software will allow them to customize parameters and alerts for each patient and caregiver.
Stabilizing heel with molded silicon pad
Micro neoprene cushioning sheet
Polyethylene foams Anti-slip tread with maximum grip
3D printed subortholen base shell
Construction Mollies would be contracted with adequate materials approved by the consumer product safety committee taking into consideration potential users with sensitive skill as well as allergic problems. This insole would be constructed with - Anti-slip tread with maximum grip on the inferior part of the insole - 3-D printed subortholen base shall - Stabilizing heel with molded silicon pad - Micro neoprene cushion sheet - Polyethylene foams

Mollies The Software Data-driven Technology Tools that empower healthcare providers to analyze data The software is a platform that aggregates data from the smart insole through bluetooth and wifi, which then gets saved into the database in the back-end of the software. Subscribers of this service (doctors, caregivers, and administrators) will have downloaded it and by creating profile pages, they are able to add profilesofe senior residents to track them on a daily basis. Through a user-friendly, visual interface, the healthcare provider can navigate and analyze the data according to the case of the senior patient, therefore providing their residents with the care they need. Customization The healthcare provider is empowered to use the tols so that they can best track specific cases and monitor upclose teh health of their senior residents, allowing them to prioritize their time and workload to meet everyone’s needs. Notifications In Cases of Emergency The healthcare provider can set the software to send alerts and notifications to their phones and pagers so they attend to cases of emergency and optimize their use of the aggregated data. Data Analysis The healthcase facility can access all the recrds of the senior patients and get full analysis of the health vitals of the whole residence and learn what to focus their treatments and attention on.

Communicating Integraide’s Core Values Branding is a basic and fundamental piece that solidifies our company’s values: TRUST | EASE | PEACE OF MIND
INTEGRAIDE Our company branding was designed to communicate the company’s values. “Integraide” is a portmanteau of “integrate” and “aide”, alluding to the fact that our healthcare solutions are unobtrusive yet always ready to assist; it also brings “integrity” and “grade” (quality) to mind. The logo’s typeface is BlairMdITC TT-Medium, a serious, all-caps san serif font that, in its soft charcoal grey color, exudes gravitas, calm authority and modern technology. By signing our solutions (products and services) with “by Integraide”, our company leaves opportunity for future brand extensions. For example, “Mollies by Integraide” is our data tracking ergonomic orthotic insole; “Foodies by Integraide” might be a nutrition-based solution, “Sleepies by Integraide” might be an insomnia or nighttime incontinence care solution, etc.
Trust
-Reliable healthcare solutions composed of dependable product, software and customer service experiences
Ease
-Seamlessly integrated into senior life and the LTHC facility experience; any installations are taken care of by our team.
Peace of Mind
-The ultimate objective of our suite of trustworthy and easy-to-implement healthcare solutions is to provide peace of mind to all participants: seniors, families and healthcare providers alike.
MOLLIES BY INTEGRAIDE Mollies was developed as the first of Integraide’s healthcare solutions. “Mollies” is inspired by the word “mollify”, which means to soothe, pacify, comfort and ease. It also plays off the idea that our custom ergonomic orthotics are a mold of the user’s foot. By shortening the root word with “-ies” (read: ease), we make an otherwise tech-heavy concept into a friendly, low-barriers brand experience: Grandma can simply slip on her Mollies and forget about the data tracked by Integraide. The logo’s typeface is Rockwell, a clean semi-serif font that finds balance between classic elegance and contemporary simplicity. The royal blue color communicates joie de vivre while exuding composure and an overall state of calm.

Competition
Wearables Competitors by Category Medical tracking using the latest technology is growing stronger every day. Several tracking and monitoring devices exist for medical, health, and lifestyle considerations unique to aging individuals. These include medication management, fall detection, medical alerts, and GPS tracking for individuals with Alzheimer’s. Several broader technology markets (including traditional fitness trackers and “smart home” products) offer promising applications to enhance senior living and perhaps even extend senior independence. Many of the devices on the “senior wearables” market are designed to help maintain seniors’ freedom and independence while providing peace of mind to loved ones and caregivers. Skin Contact (patch)
Clothing (shirt, socks, shorts)
44_
Accessories (watch, belt, ankle grip, jewelry)
Insole/Shoe
There are numerous direct and indirect competitors (because there are different ways of tracking quantitative physical data), and many different conditions that can be tracked. Data can also be tracked and relayed to different recipients, and the medium for transmission within the wearables category varies. We believe the simplest way of viewing our competitors is through two visualizations: On the left-side page, competitors are listed by on medium within the wearable health trackers category. We have found 4 main types of wearables: skin patches, accessories, clothing, and insole/shoes. Of these 4 types of wearables, the ideal medium for seniors and residents in long term health care facilities are the skin patches and insole/shoes because these can be worn and forgotten -- they are less intrusive and require little effort to implement. However, the skin patch market is highly saturated, and individuals often express fear or apprehension over the idea of a semi-permanently attached microchip. Additionally, we’ve mapped out competitors by necessity of tracking against recipient of data (please see next page). The market for private data to individual and non-critical tracking is highly saturated; there is opportunity in the shared data space as well as tracking for vital statistics. This is where Mollies will begin our journey in the marketplace; we will slowly move rightward toward individual/ private usage at about 5 years.

Revenue Stream The revenue stream of Mollies is the sales from the smart insoles to the LTHC facilities, the software subscription fee per month, in addition to the premium subscription model. Unit Costs and Profit Each unit is composed of a pair of smart insoles, which will sell at $600 per unit. The cost of manufacturing each is $160 which consists of the cost of material, 3-D printing, and all production costs. The profit from each uni is therefore $440 per unit. This is a flat number that does not change in relation to number of acquired customers. To be scalable, Mollies software will be sold in a subscription-based model. Small LTHC facilities with up to 50 residents may subscribe to it at $20 a month. Medium LTHC facilities with up to 100 residents may subscribe to it at $40 a month, and large LTHC facilities with up to 150 residents may subscribe to it at $60 a month. This helps Integraide scale up easily and maintain a sustainable revenue stream to support the costs and expenses of running the business. Fixed Expenses Integraide is located in Florida with office space that costs $3,000 a year in a co-working space that allows dfor maximum networking and exposure of the business. This low fee allows for high quality manufacturing of the product and focus on customer service. The machinery will continue to be maintained at a low fee per year, and the web advertisign expenses will consist of the bulk of the yearly expenses that will support the growht of the business.

Breaking even at Year 3 In order to break even at year 3, Mollies will need to acquire an average of 3 LTHC per month. For year 1, 1363 packages are expected to be sold with a strong marketing and advertising strategy. In year 2, 2727 units are expected to be sold as well with a solid base and market presence. In year 3, 4090 units are expected to be sold with emphasis on the premium services to attract LTHC facilities with the offers of data, partnerships, and premium quality customer service.

Geographic Expansion With the strategy of expanding nationwide during year 2 and 3, travel expenses increase which balance out all one time costs of year 1 which include software development, manufacturing equipment and legal matters. Employee Hires To achieve that, Integraide will hire 5 employees that will complement the skills of the 5 main cofounders. Experts in the field will support our hard work and a team of 10 can achieve the required success measures to run the business. These experts are highly qualified software engineers who will make sure Mollies software keeps developing with technological updates. A senior podiatrist will make sure the insoles are 100% ergonomic and orthopedic, and 3 junior wupport employees will be the backbone of daily operations of the business.

Legal Matters
Integraide is the parent company of what we hope will one day be a number of well- recognized products. We are aware of the importance of laying a strong legal foundation for our future, and have done extensive research in order to ensure that we have performed our due diligence in these steps. Patents As you saw in the Product Development section of this report, our patent filing is dependent on referencing existing patents in both utility and design. We will be filing a design patent for our embedded insole and a separate business software patent in order to protect the system through which our data is delivered from the wearable tech to the databank of the recipient (whether it be the healthcare worker at a LTHC facility or later on, a family member or patient herself).
Regulatory & Ethics -Liability CPA Bylaw Agreements
Trademarks Our company name “Integraide” is a Class 9 (Computers, Software, Electronic instruments, & Scientific appliances) suggestive trademark that is not currently in active use by any other entity. Although there are three “live” trademarks for similarly named companies calling themselves “Integrade”, we believe that these existing trademarks do not conflict with our application as they are in the areas of lighting controls, drilling fluid, and educational software, respectively. For our first product, we have chosen to use the name Mollies to describe our wearable technology slipper and its corresponding alert system. The “Mollies” name will fall under Class 10 Trademarks, for Medical, Dental Instruments and Apparatus. Unlike the name of our parent company, “Mollies” is a trademark that finds itself in a broad field of similar sounding names. The U.S. Patent and
56_
57_
Trademark Office’s Trademark and Electronic Search System reflects 459 existing trademarks under names related to or sounding like “Mollies”. In reviewing all 459 of these listings, we noted that many or most were entities with a double word name, such as “Mermaid Molly”. Of those remaining and more similar to the name of our product, only “Molie” jewelry reflected any crossover with our product, in that the trademark for the jewelry does reference “notification to the wearer of any pending related medical task”. Our final conclusion, however, was that this was not similar enough to our own product, and insole for the feet, for there to be any confusion between the products or the use of their trademarks. In addition to “Molie” jewelry, our research turned up the following goods and services with similarly trademarked name to “Mollies”: e-cigarettes, plush toys, dietary beverage supplements, a chain of bars and restaurants, energy drinks, online ordering services for pet supplies, sewing machines, monitoring software for semiconductors, American History magazines, and children’s books. We do not expect conflict or confusion with any of these. Further, in line with health, disease, or medical products, we found a Mollie’s Fund which focuses on the prevention of skin cancers, a product for bipolar coagulating forceps, and a company that creates injection devices for administering drugs. Again, we felt that these were not similar enough to our own product to create any conflict. In addition to our company name and first product, we also intend to trademark our Mollies logo, including the tagline of “Step Into Peace of Mind” and the broader Integraide logo and tagline that reads “For Peace of Mind”. Copyrights Both the Integraide and Mollies logos, as well as their taglines, will be copyrighted in order to protect the product and any of Integraide’s future products. Copyright filings will also include the original design of the Mollies’ insole, which differs from other existing products (specialty orthotics, commercially distributed insoles such as those made by Dr. Scholl’s) because of the pattern of embedded sensors into the bottom layer of the product. Company Registration Integraide will be registered as a C Corp in the state of Delaware. We have chosen Delaware in order to capture maximum tax incentives for our five company
58_
founders, but also in order to create favorable regulatory conditions for our future investors. Our registration documents (including federal registration) will include Company By-laws, to be drawn up by an attorney at the time we file the rest of our preliminary paperwork. Our By-laws will outline procedures for a myriad of possible contingencies, including dissolution of the company, and/or the death, disability, or divorce of any of the five original founders. Regulatory & Ethics As a company devoted to providing its customers with “Peace of Mind”, we similarly intend to provide our staff members, investors, partners, and vendors with the conviction that ours is a company to believe in, worthy of trust. When it comes to the environment and sustainability, we believe that our use of 3-D modeling allows us to significantly control waste in our manufacturing practices. Each product is custom made only when a confirmed offer has been received. Further, by locating our headquarters directly amongst the population we intend to serve, we are able to vastly reduce the carbon footprint created by travel associated with our business services, and also due to long distance shipping of our product. We aim to be a local company, with representation in each of the major markets we eventually serve. Our insole recycling program, modeled after Apple’s computer takeback program, allows us to “un-embed” our technology from the used insoles, in order to recycle not only the metal components of the sensors, but also the high quality plastic forming the lower part of the insole itself. Again, this process will be performed locally to our company headquarters. Recovered materials will be utilized in the production of new products, to the greatest extent realistically possible. Within the US, each state has a unique set of employment laws that govern the necessary policies and procedures governing responsible corporate citizens. Integraide commits to familiarizing itself with and following all of the employment laws of the state of Florida, and any other state in which it conducts business. Additionally, we will remain cognizant of the federal laws of the United States and the fact that they may sometimes differ from state law, particularly in the areas of wage and hour law. Beyond legal compliance is the idea of ethical corporate
59_
behavior, to which we will also adhere. Toward this end, we will hire all of our full-time staff members within the US, and at US market rates. One particular area that commands significant attention from Integraide’s decision makers and all partners and employees is the use of digital personal medical information. HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a complex collection of required practices surrounding patient privacy and electronic health care transactions for all entities operating within the US. Rather than “winging it” and attempting to interpret and apply this extensive legal framework to our business in the hope that we get it right, we will make diligent use of legal counsel to review our practices for compliance with HIPAA from day one.

Starting Up Starting Up: A Five-Year Snapshot Six-Month Startup Period Given that Integraide is a new company with no initial name recognition or product pipeline, we feel that it is critically important to the success of the company that we begin by establishing company headquarters and building relationships within the community that Integraide intends to serve. We want to know our community, and we want them to know us. We have identified Florida as our target location, and will spend up to six months prior to official launch in visiting communities within that state. We will further use this time to develop a network of local physicians, long-term health care facilities, and seniors living in the area, as well as their families. During our six-month setup period, all efforts to lay the foundation for our business will be bootstrapped by the five company co-founders. Expenses incurred by travel, relocation, and day to day incidentals will come out of our own pockets, and no outside funding from investors will be sought for these initial start up costs. However, during this time, seed funding will be sought in order to create a bridge between the official launch (six months in) and pursuit of Series A funding, which will begin as early as possible after securing office and storage space, necessary equipment, and completing tentative hiring for key non-founder positions. We aim to have indications of interest and preliminary orders from multiple LTHC facilities in hand by the time we launch, in order to facilitate the quick transition between absorbing costs personally to obtaining the level of investment necessary to ensure Integraide’s early success. Seed Round – Convertible notes no, Crowdfunding no, Angels yes In developing our company’s five-year business plan, we considered a number of possible funding sources. In particular, we weighed heavily the pros and cons of early stage convertible notes. Ultimately, our decision to forego this popular funding source came down to three main factors: We did not want to give away more of our equity than necessary, given that we are already five co-founders and further considering that our Series A round is expected to come early and be quite high. Given these conditions, as well as the knowledge that we may need to use an equity stake in the company as a financial
61_
incentive for expensive key hires, such as our senior medical advisor (podiatrist), we preferred to leave all equity in the company during the setup and initial launch periods. We are aware that convertible notes may be issued without the exchange of equity, but nevertheless they must then be attached to an attractive valuation of the company, which is similarly not something we want to risk at this stage of building our business, should it impact future investment rounds. Again, our Series A round is expected to come early and be based on a relatively high valuation. The success of this round is vitally important to our proposed business development, and we are aware that previously issued convertible notes can sometimes muddy the waters in a Series A round. We decided not to risk it. Upon the advice of several VC mentors, we felt that it was best to keep our start-up funding process as simple as possible. As a technology company dealing in healthcare, ours is not a simple one to launch or to operate and the legal and financial obligations by necessity will be complex. In order to best serve our clients, investors, and ourselves, we aspire to business processes that are as straightforward as realistically possible. Our final decision regarding convertible notes was that relative simplicity in our bookkeeping and fundraising efforts was preferable to this particular funding source. All this is to say that while we will pursue seed funding for our “transition” from the pre-launch bootstrapping phase to our Series A round, we will do so through the use of traditional Angel investors. To further qualify this, it is our intention to solicit investments only from well-established sources with prior history of funding start-ups in either the tech or healthcare spaces. At this time, we do not anticipate launching any crowdfunding campaigns, since our emphasis is to build intellectual capital at the same time that we are building financial capital. We believe that traditional crowdfunding vehicles require substantial effort in order to achieve successful campaigns, and that our own effort is better spent on preparing for our Series A. We expect greater success from a highly targeted outreach effort to known funders with expertise in our market, and who may also then lead us to our prospective Series A investors. Year One Series A – Starting Early and Aiming High We at Integraide believe that it is important to make forward-looking tactical decisions at every point of the fundraising process. Therefore, we have chosen to set aside 25% of our company’s equity to be used to secure investors. Our
62_
target is to secure necessary funding to see us through “breaking even” in year three, in exchange for 15% equity and voting seats on our Board of Advisors. After successful completion of a Series A round, any remaining equity will be set aside in a pool that can be accessed for hiring incentives, recruitment of outside Board members, or at a later time for additional investment capital. The remaining 75% of our company equity will be shared equally among the five co-founders of our company, providing us with 15% each. This means that any major company decision may be made through a four/fifths vote, and that four or more co-founders may make final decisions on company matters, even when the decision is contrary to the recommendation of an outside investor. However, we realize that personal politics may necessitate a different result, and our goal is to avoid this sort of internal conflict in the first place. Hence, we plan to begin our targeted search for “qualified” VCs immediately, beginning with health tech VC and RockHealth founder Halle Tecco, and expanding our search from there. We expect high success in our search for and solicitation of “smart money”, given that our research indicates venture funding of wearable technology has increased 5x since 2011. Year 3 – Bigger is Better As our product gains traction in the Florida market, we are looking ahead to ways in which we may accelerate our growth. Initially, we plan to offer the same Mollies product and to target additional geographic regions within the US, such as Pennsylvania and Ohio. Our research has indicated that these locations have the highest number of senior citizens outside of Florida (not simply based on percentage but by actual population count), while also holding the added benefit of lower cost of operations as compared with other locations such as California and New York. Year 5 – Expanding Nationwide By year five, we believe that the Integraide brand and the Mollies product will have achieved substantial name recognition within our target market. We plan to leverage this success by partnering with shoe companies known to be popular in the senior market, such as Naturalizer and Clarks. We are additionally exploring a possible future partnership with Birkenstock, and separately investigating the viability of working with Dr. Scholls, which is officially seen as one of our initial competitors.
63_
Beyond continued expansion to new US markets, our fifth year will be an exciting one for Integraide and Mollies alike, as we look to new product launches for both the parent company and the brand. These initiatives include 1) an expansion of the original Mollies product market to include others who may benefit from regular health monitoring outside of the senior citizen demographic, 2) a modified version of the original Mollies product being created and launched for private and at-home use, and 3) the early-stage development of new products under the Integraide umbrella.

Appendix
Personas Senior: Louisa Louisa is an 87 year old mother of two and grandmother of five, living in a nursing home in Fort Lauderdale, FL. In terms of mental capacity, she has mild dementia; Health: osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure; mobility: she is healthy and can still walk, but spends most of her day seated, in front of the television. This is because she is afraid something will happen to her while she is up and about.
Family Member: Jennifer Jennifer is Louisa’s daughter, a 53 year old single mother. She is a lawyer in Vancouver, BC. Because of the large distance and her demanding schedule, she can only visit Louisa four times per year. Jennifer is worried that as Louisa’s dementia worsens, she will forget to take her medications. She also worries that the nursing home might not be paying close attention to her mother, and wishes there was a way to increase around-the-clock surveillance of Louisa.

His main responsibility is to assist her with her activities of daily life, such as eating (feeding), changing clothes and bathroom duties. He knows that her deteriorating bones are what brings her the most discomfort; as such, prefers to check her calcium and vitamin D levels daily. However, as Lance is in charge of 16 other residents, he is only able to check her blood twice a week.
Competition Insoles With Sensors
Doctor: Juan Juan is Louisa’s doctor at the nursing home. With her history of heart disease, Juan is most concerned with tracking her blood pressure. He worries that she’ll forget her medications, and see a major spike in her heart rate, which may lead to heart attack or stroke.
Dietitian: Kim
Orthopedic Insoles
Kim is the nursing home’s dietitian, and is in charge of all meal planning at the nursing home. She keeps track of the patients’ individual nutritional needs, but struggles to manage the various combinations of requirements, since most patients have an array of diseases, disabilities and medications that must be taken into consideration and that may evolve overnight. Understanding Louisa is diabetic, she is most concerned with ensuring that meals served do not spike Louisa’s insulin levels after consumption.
