Olera's Innovation in Senior Care Recognized by National Institute on Aging (NIA)

Introduction

We are excited to announce that the National Institute on Aging (NIA) recently highlighted Olera for our innovative work in the senior care space. We are deeply honored to be acknowledged by such a respected organization.

Olera, as the NIA article noted, is a digital platform designed to connect family caregivers of elders in need of long-term care with eldercare professionals. Our mission is to provide comprehensive support, guiding caregivers on their journey through long-term senior care.

Key Insights

The article highlighted some key aspects of our work:

Increasing Senior Care Affordability & Accessibility Using AI: We aim to apply Large Language Models (LLMs), a novel class of AI, to improve elder care accessibility & affordability by helping individuals 1) find affordable care solutions and 2) better utilize resources and aid programs.

Tailored Care Recommendations: Using advanced artificial intelligence and a proprietary personalization algorithm, Olera delivers customized recommendations to guide caregivers in assisting their loved ones.

Significant Milestones Achieved: Olera's accomplishments span across various fields, including scientific and clinical research, business strategy, and financial growth. These milestones validate both our approach and our ongoing dedication to revolutionizing senior care.

Overall Thoughts

Being featured by the NIA is a milestone we are deeply proud of. Yet, our work doesn't stop here. We will continue our research, development, and commitment with the ultimate goal of making senior care more accessible, manageable, and individualized.

Keep an eye on Olera. We are continually evolving, and we're excited about the journey ahead. You can read the NIA feature here.
