Technology helps keep formerly homeless veterans in Somerville monitored during pandemic
Marlborough-based Health eVillages is funding the operations and some of the technology for the Somerville project
Founded in 2011, Health eVillages aims to address the fact that within our lifetimes, one billion people will go to their graves without ever having access to health care workers, medication, clean water or affordable health facilities.

A Somerville, MA facility that houses formerly homeless veterans is now getting some help in keeping its residents safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cherish Health, a new Cambridge-based medical technology firm, is teaming with the nonprofit Health eVillages to offer residents of the Massachusetts Bay Veterans Center specialized sensor patches to monitor their respiration, oxygen levels, temperature, heart rate, and other vital functions.
