Realityworks' Age Simulation Suit Wins Caregiver Award

    EAU CLAIRE, WI, August 04, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Realityworks' newest RealCare product, the RealCare Geriatric Simulator sensitivity suit, has received the 2016 Caregiver Friendly Award by Today's Caregiver magazine. The Caregiver Friendly Awards are designed to celebrate products, services, books and media created with the needs of caregivers in mind. This award recognizes Realityworks' understanding of the importance of supporting caregivers and their creation of a product that not only helps caregivers do their job, but helps improve the quality of elderly patients' lives.

Realityworks created the Geriatric Simulator to help prepare health care workers for careers in the rapidly growing geriatric healthcare field. The Geriatric Simulator is a wearable sensitivity suit that helps educate on topics related to aging and care for the elderly by enabling users to experience age-related physical challenges. It includes curriculum that can be incorporated into secondary and post-secondary education, nursing and health occupations programs to help users prepare for geriatric health care careers and to gain an understanding of what patients could endure.

"The Geriatric Sensitivity suit helps users develop empathy toward the elderly, a trait that studies show is key for success in elder care careers," said Timm Boettcher, President and CEO of Realityworks. "We are proud to be recognized for the assistance our product can give caregivers and educators."

Realityworks' award will be announced in the September/October 2016 issue of Today's Caregiver and on the magazine's website, caregiver.com.
