admin The universal language of love is – to care. When someone is sick, their desired destination is HOME. When illness occurs, individuals’ first instinct is to instantly check it with healthcare professionals for proper diagnosis and medical assistance.
For various reasons, going to a healthcare or medical care centre is not always a viable option. In such a situation, a digital healthcare solution can prove to be a huge relief for a lot of individuals.
Ōmcare provides the needed service for those who are down with illness and under various circumstances cannot go to a healthcare or medical centre.
Based in Minneapolis, Ōmcare is a digital health company that aims to change the way the world cares by extending the reach of caregivers, increasing medication adherence and improving treatment outcomes through the power of remote care and two-way video technology. By partnering with pharmacies, payers, providers and family caregivers, Ōmcare strives to help people live healthier, more vibrant, independent lives and reduce healthcare costs.
The Trailblazer CEO
Lisa Lavin is a serial entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience building new businesses from the ground up within the healthcare and high-tech sectors. Lisa is active in local and national organizations that support entrepreneurialism and women in business.
Lisa Lavin founded Ōmcare to provide a customizable home health platform that enables one-touch access to telehealth services, aggregated RPM, and medication dispensing with visual confirmation of medication adherence.
Her inspiration came from her grandmother, Mildred, who during a difficult period in Lisa’s childhood took care of her. After growing old, Mildred developed dementia and was eventually placed at a nursing home. Through this experience, Lisa became impassioned not only for her grandmother but for all aging adults. Lisa vowed that she would do everything she could to promote independence and dignity for older adults. “This generation deserves much more than a nursing home, they deserve connectedness, love, and a full, healthy, liberated life.” says Lisa.
“Ōmcare allows people to age in place, bringing humanity and liberation to the aging process.”
The One-of-a-kind Healthcare
Ōmcare opens up the home as a legitimate site of care by creating a single, all-in-one solution that addresses consumer expectations while ensuring the comprehensive suite of capabilities required for the home is together in an easy-to-use, one-touch interface. It brings everything together—down to the data.
It is difficult for older adults to visit doctors regularly. The chances of worsening their health cannot be neglected if they have to go to hospitals on a regular basis. Ōmcare provides such people with the go-to option for getting one stop assistance for their healthcare needs.
“Ōmcare allows people to age in place, bringing humanity and liberation to the aging process. It also provides greater access to care to more people since it’s less expensive and can reach rural areas,” says Lisa.
“This generation deserves connectedness, love, and a full, healthy, liberated life.”
Enlightening the path for entrepreneurs
Offering her years of entrepreneurial wisdom to the individuals who wish to come up with their own technological venture, Lisa tells them to “Design something you know will help so many people and get a good team around you. Both of those will make the bright days seem brighter and the hard days not as bad.”
Achievements & Dreams
Moreover, Lisa is a Minnesota Cup Division winner and Eureka Award winner for Innovation. She was recognized by Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal as one of 25 Women to Watch, Minnesota Business’ Real Power 50, and The New York Observer’s 2020 List of the Hottest “Flyover Tech” Companies in Digital Health.
The company plans to keep on improving its existing solutions and bring out more technology products to best assist the needs of patients remotely.
Speaking about plans for the company in the near future, Lisa says, “By the end of 2023, we will be fully commercialized by rolling out the Ōmcare Home Health Hub® with senior care providers, pharmacy partners, and Medicare Advantage providers.”
