Artificial intelligence (AI) takes center stage, with the report delving into the potential of AI doctors, robotics assisting seniors, and remote patient monitoring (RPM) systems to deliver personalized, data-driven care right in patients' homes.

The blurring of boundaries between hospital and the home are also explored, as the report examines the growing trend of in-home, high-acuity care and hospital-at-home programs, rethinking traditional models of care delivery. 

Alongside these innovations, the report highlights the invaluable and necessary role of family caregivers and how empowering them with the right skills and support could help bridge gaps in care provision.

In the realm of hospice care, the report looks at how AI-powered patient stratification and RPM tools are set to transform this crucial service.

Confronting today's challenges, the report tackles the industry's transition to value-based care models, the need for coordinated advocacy, and the looming shortage of nurses. Potential solutions explored include onshoring nursing talent, subsidizing education, and harnessing automation to ease the burden on nurses.

Additionally, the report looks toward a future where in-home care takes inspiration from the convenience of delivery apps like DoorDash – with proximity-based caregiver dispatch, GPS-enabled software, and a seamless experience rivaling the ease of ordering a meal.
