Frequently Asked Questions.
Here are a few questions we hear most. If you have a specific question about your community or care setting, please reach out to the Amba product team for personalized advice.
No, Amba does not require any construction or new wiring. Installation can be performed by care team members and completed in as little as 10 minutes per suite.
No. Amba’s privacy-first approach uses sensors placed throughout the living space to establish a personalized baseline for each resident or client. From there, the platform tracks subtle changes in vital signs and daily patterns, helping care teams catch potential concerns before they become emergencies.
While Amba itself doesn’t prevent hospitalizations, it’s the prediction of a problem that empowers care teams to intervene to avoid hospitalizations.
Yes, Amba developers can add and implement a wide variety of devices to keep your data all in one place.
Amba is surprisingly affordable. For less than buying a cup of coffee per resident per day, Amba keeps people healthy.
Amba is a human-centered, passive health monitoring platform that leverages artificial intelligence to analyze health and behavioral patterns, identify meaningful changes and make information easier for care teams to understand and act upon. HeyAmba, Amba’s intelligent conversational assistant, also enables care teams to ask questions about resident or participant information and receive answers in real time.

Home care agencies can differentiate themselves by extending their value beyond scheduled caregiver hours. Amba allows agencies to add passive health intelligence to their service, giving care teams greater visibility into how clients are doing between visits and, with appropriate permissions, giving family members greater insight into how their loved one is doing. This can provide a meaningful competitive advantage when families are choosing among home care providers.
Passive predictive health monitoring can be particularly valuable for PACE because participants spend much of their time at home rather than at the PACE center. Amba gives interdisciplinary care teams continuous visibility into changes in participants’ health and daily living patterns between visits. Earlier intervention may help prevent avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations, benefiting participants while also helping PACE organizations manage healthcare costs under their capitated, full-risk model.
Amba is designed to empower caregivers with better information, not replace them. It provides another source of continuous insight so care teams can focus their attention on the people who may need it most.
Organizations using Amba have reported measurable improvements beginning in the first month, including reductions in falls, hospitalizations and serious infections. Results vary by organization, population, implementation and use.
Yes. In independent living, Amba can provide residents with personalized health insights while helping communities support wellness, healthspan and independence. Residents can control how their information is shared and communities can offer Amba as an included service, premium wellness offering or optional amenity. Independent living residents that elect to live in a home equipped with Amba live independently 2.5 years longer on average.
Yes. Amba gives PACE interdisciplinary care teams visibility into how participants are doing in their homes between visits to the PACE center. Continuous passive monitoring can help teams recognize changes earlier, determine who may need attention and intervene before an emerging health concern becomes more serious.
Amba can help PACE teams identify changes earlier and intervene before some health concerns turn into ER visits or hospitalizations. This is especially relevant to the PACE model because PACE organizations generally receive capitated payments and assume financial responsibility for participants’ covered healthcare. Avoiding preventable hospitalizations can benefit both participant outcomes and program economics.
Yes. Amba is designed to integrate with leading EHR and EMR platforms so health insights can become part of the systems and workflows care teams already use.
