Wearable healthcare intelligence platform that helps hospitals continuously monitor elderly and post-discharge patients and identify meaningful changes in recovery earlier. It is an elderly or post-discharge patient leaves a hospital, clinicians have limited visibility into what happens between visits. Families rely on manual check-ins, while care teams often receive information only after a patient's condition has worsened. It combines a phone-independent wearable with a healthcare intelligence platform to continuously capture physiological, movement and behavioural signals. Instead of presenting isolated measurements, the system builds a patient-specific baseline and analyses longitudinal changes to surface meaningful recovery trends, anomalies and risk indications for care teams. Our technical differentiation is a multimodal sensing architecture that combines physiological and motion signals through a sensor-fusion layer rather than relying only on individual threshold alerts. The goal is not to generate more data, but to turn continuous data into actionable healthcare visibility.
