MedNest welcomes KODRO from ALTERA as a New Client.

A SOLUTION TO ENSURE A HIGHER QUALITY OF LIFE WHILE GROWING OLDER

KODRO is a revolutionary, subscription-based Care Manager solution to prevent and delay neurodegenera-tive disease symptoms. The KODRO solution offers a digital framework for the Alzheimer’s Disease care team of Seniors and their families, combining a Healthcare IT platform and a Call Center to activate positive reinforcement and reward mechanisms.


Overview
Since 2008, ALTERA has grown to be a recognized Consulting and Advisory services provider to drive Sales Force effectiveness with the integration of innovative Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions. ALTERA serves medium to large international corporations in several industry Sectors.
The KODRO System is based on:
· A network of specialized assistance providers
· A web technology allowing for interactivity and constant adaptation to the user.
· A continuous stimulation of cognitive abilities by way of highly specialized exercises.

The Challenge
Currently, there are relatively few services for the prevention of Alzheimer’s or, more broadly, for the management of cognitive impairment and isolation:
· Existing Solutions for cognitive exercising do not adapt the user’s situation and evolution
· Help from the hospital is limited in time and range
· In-home care-giving companies are not equipped to deal with AD
ALTERA is the first to offer a comprehensive solution based on medical and scientific approach and largely built on an ICT operational system.
The Solution
KODRO is a comprehensive solution offering daily positive Cognitive Exercising and Social Interaction.
KODRO solves in a new way several main issues related to the care and quality of life management for Seniors:
· Fight the growing isolation of the elderly, a well known risk factor for cognitive and memory impairment
· Prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and improve in-home caregiving for people with early symptoms
· Extend stay-at-home capabilities for the elderly
· Propose a day to day structure-inducing tool for the care-giving relatives or personnel
