Enabling Independence at Home: How PacSana Empowers Senior Well-Being Through Technology

At Thrivera, we believe in supporting older adults in living not just longer but better, on their own terms. For many seniors, that means staying in their own homes, maintaining independence, and living with confidence. But how can families and caregivers ensure safety and well-being without intruding on that independence?

That’s where technology comes in.

One of our trusted partners, PacSana, offers an elegant solution to this challenge. Through a smart and unobtrusive wearable device paired with intelligent software, PacSana is redefining how we support aging in place.

The PacSana Bracelet

PacSana’s bracelet isn’t just another fitness tracker. It’s a thoughtfully designed, senior-friendly wearable that offers peace of mind without interfering with everyday life. Made from waterproof, hypoallergenic silicone and built to last with a 300-day battery life, it combines simplicity with reliability.

Key features include:

  • Rapid alerting functions that notify caregivers of changes or emergencies

  • Movement, activity, and gait tracking that help detect shifts in wellness over time

  • A privacy-first approach to data collection, with no GPS tracking or health diagnostics—just meaningful activity insights, gathered securely and in compliance with HIPAA standards

Designed for Seamless Living

What makes PacSana stand out is how easy it is to use. Installation involves just three steps:

  1. Place two or more gateways in a wall outlet in key areas such as the bedroom and living room.

  2. Use the setup app to connect the device to Wi-Fi.

  3. Put the bracelet on and begin tracking activities automatically.

With real-time insights into daily habits, sleep, gait speed, and in-home movement, our Thrivera atHome team receives a complete picture of a senior's routine without requiring any extra effort from the user.

Insight That Empowers

The PacSana app and desktop dashboard give our caregivers and wellness teams access to configurable alerts and detailed reports. Whether it’s detecting a fall, noting unusual bed departures, or spotting changes in walking patterns, the system equips caregivers to respond proactively.

Thanks to powerful insights and customizable dashboards, our Thrivera care team can:

  • Identify early signs of health decline

  • Respond quickly to incidents

  • Personalize wellness plans based on actual behavior patterns

The system also integrates easily with existing technologies, protocols, and care team workflows.

Independence with Dignity

Technology like PacSana is not meant to replace human care. Instead, it enhances support by providing timely and objective information. This empowers older adults to live independently while offering peace of mind to their loved ones.

At Thrivera, our mission is to promote proactive, holistic well-being for seniors both within and beyond our communities. With partners like PacSana, we’re proud to offer tools that help people stay safe, maintain their independence, and continue living life to the fullest wherever they call home.
