24、The Legacy Senior Communities is proud to announce the latest innovation in senior living care is coming to its Dallas and Plano campuses, the TrueLoo® smart toilet by Toi Labs. “We’re consistently exploring new technologies to ensure that we are providing excellent care in the most effective and efficient ways,” says Legacy Senior Communities CEO Melissa Orth.
“The TrueLoo® smart toilet provides early detection of oncoming health complications before they become serious, and all in a dignnified and valuable manner. This improves our care response and can potentially avoid a potential health complication altogether,” says Orth. “The innovative toilet automates data collection and enables clinical team members to keep track of the residents around the clock without uncomfortable conversations with them about their toileting habits. Investing in TrueLoo® technology enables a higher standard of care with dignity,” says Vik Kashyap, Toi Labs’ founder and CEO.
In assisted living and memory support residences, where toileting activity is harder to collect, the TrueLoo® smart toilet provides effortless collection, enhancing current services as well as residents’ experience. The Legacy Senior Communities begins testing the units in early March. The pilot program will launch in Memory Support at the Kalman and Ida Wolens Foundation Healthcare Center at the Willow Bend community and at the Midtown Park community’s Andrea &Richard Skibell and Leslie Rudd Healthcare Center. The communities will continue manual monitoring to establish a control group during this trial period. The resulting data will enable The Legacy to benchmark the ability of the smart toilet.
“We decided to trial the smart toilet in two different service areas,” said Director of Strategic Development Bridgette Walshe. “We want to ensure that this technology is non- invasive (非侵入性的) while providing accurate and relevant data.” Walshe believes that artificial intelligence is one potential means to cost-effectively improve senior care services, freeing up valuable time for clinical team members to provide more person-centric care.
【1】How can the TrueLoo® smart toilet benefit seniors?
A.By improving their toileting habits.
B.By identifying their potential health issues.
C.By calling clinical team members for them at any time.
D.By informing care workers of their desire to use a toilet.
【2】What can best conclude Kashyap’s words about his company’s product?
A.It is quality-centered.
B.It is safety-guaranteed.
C.It is privacy-ensured.
D.It is comfort-focused.
【3】What does the underlined word “benchmark” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
