Lantern LLC was created by three individuals motivated by compassion to use clever applications of new technology to save lives and prevent injury.
Lantern is currently developing machine learning algorithms using Deep Neural Networks to support medical screening in underserved communities and developing countries.
We are also developing our own innovative technologies in-house and collaborating with partners on theirs. More to come soon!
A long-term illness can have devastating effects on patients and their families. Extended periods of care can leave families both emotionally and financially drained. Nursing home expenses can exceed $72,000 per year with many
patients requiring multiple years of care. Until recently, families had to “spend down” (use their savings) before they could qualify for financial assistance. A long-term illness requiring extended nursing home care could wipe out a ifetime of savings. Most nursing home patients begin by paying for the long-term care expenses themselves but end up on Medicaid* after their own savings have been spent down.
