Staff Hours Saved Per Week On Caregiving and Coordination
Within just two weeks of using the system, staff reported significant improvements in communication, efficiency, and confidence at shift start.
Perceived information availability increased by 27 percent, while communication quality improved by 47 percent compared to prior tools like binders, EHR documentation, and verbal huddles. Staff also reported a 73 percent reduction in the feeling of “walking in blind” at the start of a shift.
Operational efficiency gains were most pronounced during handoffs. Average handoff time dropped from 45.6 minutes to 12.9 minutes, a 72 percent reduction, saving approximately 33 minutes per shift per staff member. Onboarding workload also decreased substantially, with staff reporting a 62 percent reduction in effort required to bring new or rotating caregivers up to speed.
Care staff noted that the difference was especially clear when moving between assisted living and memory care. As one RMA explained, “Handoffs are faster, critical information is right there, and the care recommendations have been extremely helpful.”
Beyond efficiency gains, Sync Labs supported earlier and more consistent care interventions. 94% of recommended care interventions were implemented. These care interventions are supported by Sync Labs' proprietary LLM and Clinical Layer. By synthesizing observations across shifts, the platform highlights emerging behavioral and clinical trends such as changes in agitation, sleep, or supervision needs. This allows staff to recognize changes sooner and adjust care plans before issues escalate.
Personalization is reinforced through easy access to resident preferences, routines, and background information. This has been especially valuable for new staff, who can learn about residents more quickly and deliver more consistent care from day one. As one caregiver shared, “Learning about new residents is much better now. Seeing what they like, any recent changes, keeps us giving consistent, well-informed care."
Sync Labs is a Penn Medicine and University of Pennsylvania backed technology company building a copilot for caregiving. In-Sync replaces binders, shift reports, and long handoffs with a real time digital status board that keeps care teams aligned across residents and shifts. By transforming existing data into clear, actionable insight, Sync Labs helps senior care teams reduce burnout, improve communication, and spend more time caring for people.
