Epoca
The most impactful telehealth solution in Europe to help 20+ million medically at risk seniors stay home.
Epoca is a telehealth company specialising in remote monitoring of complex, multi-condition patients—primarily seniors—through an IoT-enabled tech platform and a 24/7 care management service comprising geriatric physicians and nurses.
The challenge they want to solve
Against the backdrop of a French medical system in crisis, seniors with multiple pathologies (>75 years old, suffering from at least 2 pathologies) represent a heavy burden on the healthcare system. This problem is set to worsen as France's population ages massively, generating high costs for society's healthcare system and adverse effects for the elderly and caregivers.
The impact they have
The social and societal impact of Epoca is massive and has been demonstrated to date, via studies carried out for French Health Regional Agencies (ARS): a proven 80% reduction in emergency room visits, an 80% reduction in hospitalisations, and a 90% reduction in hospitalisation time, generating a lower societal cost and an improvement in the quality of life of patients and carers.
The way we measure it
We measure the number of patients' hospital stays during the year as well as the percentage of reduction in hospital admissions in days spent.
