Life365 CEO, Kent Dicks, authored a new article in MedCity News: “Home Sweet Healthcare: Why the Best Care Setting Is Outside the Clinic.” In it, Kent explores how innovations in virtual care and connected health technology are enabling people to receive high-quality care in the comfort of their own homes - a shift that is transforming healthcare delivery as we know it.
In the MedCity News piece, Kent makes the case that the traditional clinic isn’t always the best - or most convenient - place for care. With 90% of seniors preferring to age at home and younger generations embracing on-demand, digital-first experiences, healthcare must evolve to meet patients where they are.
Kent highlights how advancements in remote patient monitoring, digital therapeutics, and AI-driven insights are not only keeping people healthier outside the hospital but also addressing critical challenges like clinician shortages, rising costs, and patient access barriers. He stresses that by extending care into the home, providers can deliver more personalized, proactive, and preventive care, while giving patients the independence and dignity they want as they manage chronic conditions or recover from acute episodes.
This shift toward home-based healthcare represents one of the most important transformations in modern medicine - reshaping the patient experience and redefining the future of care.
