Phix Health’s approach to health care addresses critical aspects of senior care: access to care, and better management of multiple chronic conditions as seniors age.

Providing regular on-site care reduces the need for urgent care, ER visits, and on-site emergency medical attention, as well as the disruption this may cause for patients and their families.

Amba connects passive sensors in senior's rooms to a simple interface used by caregivers, so at a glance they can see who needs their attention.
It’s not just about immediate care either, Amba also enables earlier intervention, before problems even arise.

Caregivers love Amba as they’re made aware of problems before they even arise; often avoiding physical tasks that can lead to burn out.

Seniors benefit from Amba as they can remain independent and aren’t unnecessarily disturbed, but they know if a problem occurs their caregiver will be there for them.

Having been barred from practicing at many established law firms because of their religion, in 1946 Blank Rome’s founders opened a firm where people of diverse backgrounds could gather to practice law.

Its history began with an emphasis on transactional law, then quickly expanded to include a team of litigators. Today, Blank Rome continues to add top talent and expand in key markets, practices, and industries to meet our clients’ needs. And, just like day one, they are committed to fostering an environment where client service excellence; diversity, inclusion, and belonging; community investment; pro bono; well-being; and innovation drive everything we do.
