Following meaningful success with a telehealth pilot program this summer, Panasonic is going beyond using the television as a portal for healthcare services with a new tablet-based product launch it will soon make available for senior living communities.
On4Today is the newest telehealth service from the Osaka, Japan-based electronics company’s stateside subsidiary, Panasonic Corporation of North America. Though the product isn’t slated for a formal market release until November, Panasonic had been showcasing the new technology at last week’s LeadingAge Annual Conference & Expo in Nashville, Tenn.
For Panasonic, the anticipated launch of its On4Today product is a step forward in paying the way for cost-effective “care in place” practices, says Bob Dobbins, vice president of New Business Development at Panasonic, who also leads the company’s new Health and Wellness Solutions group.
