Addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Support Health Equity
by Closing the Gaps in Care
Enabling Seniors to Live Well at Home
Sadly, many seniors lack basic access to transportation, proper nutrition, and quality care. These non-medical factors, also known as social determinants of health (SDOH), account for 80% of health outcomes and can have a serious impact on the health and well-being of individuals.
With a growing aging population, it’s more critical than ever to close these gaps in care by addressing the physical, emotional, and social factors that affect seniors living at home. From access to transportation and nutritious meals to social support and care, we help connect seniors to the essential services they need–when and where they need them.
By breaking down the barriers to care, we can better support health equity so that everyone has the opportunity to realize their full health potential.

Deliver Access to Essential Services
More than 1 in 5 seniors lack reliable transportation, and 1 in 10 are considered food insecure. Barriers to proper nutrition and transportation impact all factors of an individual’s health and can be a strong predictor of chronic disease. At Connect America, we deliver access to essential services through the simple push of a button on a connective care device, including:
- Nutritious food delivery: With the simple push of a button, seniors can connect to our food service partners to receive healthy meals and groceries delivered directly to their homes.
- Transportation: Whether going to the doctor or picking up a prescription at the pharmacy, seniors can easily connect to a safe ride with our reputable partners in transportation, such as Uber Health.
- 24/7 nurse line: Deliver quick and easy access to a nurse line for 24/7 medical support and peace of mind.
Reduce Loneliness and Social Isolation
More than 40 percent of seniors regularly experience loneliness, and 20 percent are considered socially isolated. Both of which are associated with a greater risk for serious medical conditions. From companionship to social engagement, our connective health devices and tech-enabled services provide much-needed support for seniors to help reduce feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

Access Population Health and SDOH Data
The home is often considered the “black box” of healthcare because it offers limited visibility for payers, providers, and caregivers into an individual’s health status. With health data insights and CareSage analytics from Connect America, healthcare organizations can better understand the needs of high-risk individuals through insights on activity and mobility levels that enable more informed interventions, which is key for prevention and cost containment.
- CareSage analytics: Receive actionable data that enhances decision-making and results in better care at lower costs.
- Activity and mobility monitoring: Stay informed with powerful insights from inside the home that help drive earlier interventions to avoid falls and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations.
