Changing Lives, One Breath at a Time: How Predictive AI Is Transforming Home Respiratory Care
At Team Select Home Care, we believe the best place for healing is home. For children and adults with complex medical needs, staying out of the hospital isn't just a preference, it's essential for their safety, comfort, and quality of life.
That belief drives our mission: to keep patients safe, healthy, and thriving where they belong – at home.
Now, through the power of predictive analytics, that mission is taking a groundbreaking step forward with CareSightAI, Team Select's new, purpose-built technology designed to detect early respiratory changes before they become emergencies.
A First-of-Its-Kind Tool for Private Duty Nursing
For over 16 years, Team Select Home Care has supported medically complex children and adults through Private Duty Nursing (PDN) — a model built on compassion, skill, and one-on-one care. But even the most experienced nurses face limits: human observation can only see what happens during one shift.
CareSightAI changes that.
Built internally by Team Select, CareSight AI is the result of a true cross-functional collaboration between our Data Analytics, Information Technology, and Clinical Operations teams — with direct clinical oversight from our Chief Clinical Officer and clinical leaders across the nation. Partnering with Cuesta Partners for strategic technology consulting, Team Select developed a platform that continuously analyzes patient data from our electronic medical record (EMR) system, transforming it into actionable insights that help identify early signs of respiratory change.
The tool identifies subtle changes in breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and heart rate trends that could indicate early signs of respiratory decline. For patients with a documented respiratory diagnosis, it's like adding a 24-hour safety net to their care.
Seeing Ahead: Predictive Accuracy That Saves Lives
During extensive testing on historical patient data, CareSightAI identified early signs of respiratory decline 3 to 5 days before acute symptoms appeared.
That kind of precision gives our care teams, physicians, and families valuable lead time to act, preventing avoidable hospitalizations and reducing the severity of those that can't be avoided.
Unlike traditional monitoring, which depends on shift-to-shift notes and observation, CareSightAI continuously learns from weeks and months of patient data. It detects subtle changes that might otherwise go unnoticed, adding another layer of vigilance to the care our nurses already provide.

Respiratory Care at Home: Proactive, Predictive, and Personal
Respiratory conditions remain one of the leading causes of hospitalizations for medically complex patients; both pediatric and adult. With CareSightAI, Team Select is redefining what respiratory care looks like in the home setting:
- Earlier Intervention: Can detect warning signs days before they escalate.
- Fewer Hospitalizations: Helps keep patients home, where they heal best.
- Empowered Care Teams: Enhances, never replaces, clinical decision-making.
- Shorter Hospital Stays: When hospitalization is unavoidable, earlier detection can help reduce severity and length of stay.
Built by Clinicians, Empowering Clinicians
CareSightAI isn't a third-party product or tech experiment; it's an in-house innovation built by Team Select, for Team Select patients.
Under the direct leadership of our Chief Clinical Officer, CareSightAI was developed to seamlessly fit into nursing workflows and support clinical judgment, not replace it. Every insight, every alert, every feature is designed to help care teams do what they do best: protect patients and keep them home.
The Future of Predictive Home Health Care
Today, CareSightAI focuses on patients with respiratory diagnoses – one of the most critical populations in home health care. But this is only the beginning.
As we continue to learn from CareSightAI success, Team Select will explore future opportunities to expand predictive technology across additional areas of care; always with the same goal in mind: helping patients thrive at home. Each step forward brings us closer to a future where predictive AI and clinical expertise work hand-in-hand to keep families together and patients safe at home.
At Team Select, we're not just investing in technology; we're investing in better outcomes, stronger families, and the belief that home is where our patients thrive.
