The Future of Home Care: Key Insights from AGILE 2026

On May 7, 2026, AGILE 2026, the much-anticipated Axxess Growth, Innovation, and Leadership Experience, took place, attracting over 800 leaders from the home health, hospice, and home care sectors. Under the spotlight were crucial discussions surrounding the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI), data utilization, and the imperative of leadership judgment in redefining home care practices. Axxess' Founder and CEO, John Olajide, delivered a compelling opening address emphasizing the synergy of technology and human insight as essential to shaping the future of care at home.

The event served as a prominent platform to showcase new AI tools developed by Axxess aimed at alleviating some of the administrative burdens faced by practitioners in the field. Notably, the introduction of AI-powered agents, including an Ambient Agent, Intake Agent, and Billing Agent, alongside enhancements to the Axxess intelligence ecosystem, genuinely captured the audience's attention. These innovations are designed to foster integrated workflows, enhance interoperability, and generate valuable insights in home care operations.

Olajide reiterated, "Our approach leverages Axxess intelligence® to empower providers to make informed decisions and refine their operations, aligning with the goal of elevating care standards in the industry." The three-day conference not only featured 13 educational sessions but also provided immersive workshops led by a diverse group of over 60 faculty members. The involvement of various sponsors emphasized the commitment to collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing care continuity across the sector.

The programming focused on actionable strategies and governance, which are vital as providers navigate rapid technological advancements and escalating operational complexities. Participants engaged in thought-provoking dialogues surrounding data-driven clinical decision-making, emphasizing how real-time data insights can help organizations foresee risks and optimize resource allocation.

In addition, AGILE 2026 celebrated excellence within the industry through the AGILE Distinction Awards, which recognized 11 exemplary organizations for their outstanding leadership and innovation in home care.
