Messenger is a web-based communication platform for patient outreach that enables healthcare workers to create, disseminate, and manage patient-oriented telephone messages. The messages are designed to impart culturally and linguistically appropriate health information, promote chronic disease self-management and provide appointment and medication reminders.
“LanguageMate®’s partnership with Presbyterian Senior Living provides a unique opportunity to expand the use of health-enhancing technology to the older adult population,” said Amie Parikh, Director of Research and Partnership Development, LanguageMate®. “This beta evaluation is an important step for both organizations to streamline the outreach process so that health workers can spend more time with the residents they serve.”
“Presbyterian Senior Living is thrilled to work with LanguageMate® to explore the role of technology in helping residents age in place,” said Diane Burfeindt, Vice President of Operations/Residential and Community Services, Presbyterian Senior Living. “This partnership will provide additional support for our outreach staff in their efforts to help residents improve their health and meet their disease management goals.”
If your organization is interested in becoming a beta partner, please contact Amie Parikh (aparikh@languagemate.com) or Michael Krupnick (mkrupnick@languagemate.com).
