Media fact sheet
Islamic Center for Research and Business Incubator Inc. (ICRBI) is developing a nonprofit senior connected care model in California — helping older adults and families become ready for telehealth, RPM, chronic-care support, and community-based health navigation.
Not another device company or RPM software platform. ICRBI is the trusted community layer connecting seniors, families, faith/community sites, clinical partners, and technology vendors into a practical care-readiness model.
Seniors face device access, digital literacy, caregiver, trust, transportation, language, and navigation barriers that limit the value of telehealth and RPM even when the technology exists.
A 6-month San Diego County pilot for roughly 50–150 seniors across two faith/community sites, focused on hypertension, diabetes, heart health, respiratory risk, fall risk, and social isolation.
Licensed clinical partners manage medical decisions, treatment, escalation, and any clinical RPM billing. Community sites build trust and access; vendors support devices; payers advise on care gaps and reporting.
A blended model exploring Medi-Cal CBO/CHW pathways, managed care contracts, clinic/FQHC partnerships, grants, sponsorships, vendor pilots, and donations — planned pathways, not current approvals.
Boilerplate
100-word version. Islamic Center for Research and Business Incubator Inc. (ICRBI) is developing a nonprofit senior connected care model for California. ICRBI focuses on the community layer that is often missing from digital health: trust, education, navigation, caregiver engagement, device-readiness support, and connections to licensed clinical partners. The initiative is designed to help older adults with chronic-disease risks use telehealth and remote patient monitoring more effectively while allowing clinics, managed care partners, and technology vendors to reach seniors in community settings. ICRBI is preparing partnership pathways for a San Diego County senior connected care pilot.
25-word version. ICRBI helps seniors and families access telehealth, remote patient monitoring readiness, and community health navigation through trusted community and clinical partnerships.
Suggested quote
“ICRBI is developing a practical community-centered model that connects seniors, caregivers, healthcare partners, technology providers, and trusted local organizations. Older adults often face chronic disease, technology barriers, social isolation, and difficulty navigating care. We believe community-based education and responsible digital health tools can help bridge those gaps.”

FAQ preview
A senior connected care hub model that helps older adults and caregivers become ready for telehealth, RPM, and chronic-care support through trusted community and clinical partnerships.
No. ICRBI is a nonprofit community implementation and navigation initiative. Medical decisions, treatment, escalation, and clinical RPM billing remain with licensed clinical partners.
Most programs focus on devices, platforms, or apps. ICRBI focuses on the human and community layer: trusted access points, education, caregiver support, navigation, and referral coordination.
ICRBI is exploring planned pathways such as CBO enrollment, CHW services, managed care contracts, and Community Care Hub-style functions. These are preparation pathways, not current approvals.
