Senior living software collects extensive data on prospects and residents, providing a solid foundation for operators to make smarter, more informed decisions and enhance resident care.
By strategically integrating AI into this framework, communities can leverage these insights to minimize human errors, quickly pinpoint issues, and craft effective solutions, further optimizing both operations and care quality for a competitive edge in the market.
There are four components of AI applicable to senior living:
Adopting senior living AI into the day-to-day operations of your community benefits everyone, from owners and operators to investors, staff, and even residents. Some of the biggest benefits of using AI in your community include:
You can integrate AI into many different areas of your senior living community to optimize operations and stay ahead of senior living trends. Here are four potential applications.
AI is only as good as the people using it, and there are many ethical considerations every senior living owner or operator must consider.
Health care data is a common target for data breaches with 725 health care data breaches occurring in 2023, impacting more than 110 million records. Senior living is particularly vulnerable since it includes financial data, medical records, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive data for residents, so cybersecurity for senior living is of the utmost importance.
As the use of AI in senior living increases, providers must be hypervigilant about how they protect the data of their residents and employees.
AI learns from experience just like a human, which means it’s susceptible to misinformation. For example, if you teach a child to identify a dog but only show them images of brown dogs, they’ll assume all dogs are brown. That’s a bias.
If AI receives faulty data, it can develop a biased algorithm, leading to errors in analysis and recommendations. For example, if AI only analyzes data related to memory care and then you ask it to interpret data related to independent living, it might predict a different set of financial outcomes than if it had experience with both acuity levels.
In short, if you want to leverage data to embark on a path to better resident care and streamlined operations, you need to use AI wisely.
To prevent an algorithmic bias, senior living providers should follow these guidelines:
Just like a human might perceive elements that aren’t present, AI can generate incorrect or misleading information. This can occur with language generation, such as creating nonsensical statements; image generation, such as creating an unrealistic image; and recommendation systems, such as generating irrelevant or harmful suggestions.
These hallucinations occur when the AI model lacks sufficient training data or learns an algorithmic bias. Overfitting, or when AI relies too heavily on training data, can also cause AI hallucinations when AI receives too much new data.
To prevent AI hallucinations, senior living providers should do the following:
AI is developing rapidly, and you must monitor emerging trends and industry best practices to protect your residents and employees.
In senior living specifically, the future of AI is:
