Medication safety for home health

Catch medication problems before they become hospital visits.

Amivo Health helps home health agencies keep older adults on many medicines safe at home. It connects every medicine change, every dose and a 30-second daily check-in, and brings the patterns that matter to a nurse’s attention early.

More medicines, more chances for something to go wrong.

Older adults take more medicines than anyone, and most of the risk plays out at home, between visits, where nobody is watching closely.

43%

of adults 65 and older take five or more prescription medicines.1

600K+

emergency room visits each year by adults 65 and older are caused by harm from medicines.2

~50%

of medicines for long-term conditions are not taken as prescribed.3

What Amivo Health does

One calm place for clients, families and nurses, built for people who take many medicines.

Tracks every medicine

Each start, stop and dose change, plus every scheduled dose and who confirmed it.

Asks how they feel

A 30-second daily check-in, tailored to the medicines each person actually takes.

Flags what matters

Notices when a new symptom follows a medicine change and explains why, for a nurse to review.

Coming next

Meeting people where they already are.

The best safety check is the one that actually gets done. Next, we are bringing check-ins to the phone in everyone’s pocket and the watch on their wrist.

Check-ins by text message

No app and no password. A friendly text arrives at dose time, one tap logs it, and symptom check-ins work the same way, on the cellphone 95% of adults 65 and older already carry.4

Wearable device data

Smartwatches and fitness trackers add heart rate, sleep and activity to the same timeline as medicine changes, giving nurses more to go on without asking anyone to do more.

Our goal

Safer days at home, and fewer trips back to the hospital.

Side effects from medicines are a common reason older adults end up back in the hospital. We want home health teams to see the warning signs days sooner, without adding work.
