About – Aging in Place Monitoring

Home Health Systems, a division of RoweBots Research Inc, was started to address the issues associated with human frailty. Rapid or gradual degradation in health is often not noticed until it is too late. Home Health Systems has developed SafetyPatch in response to this challenge. It is intended for monitoring the health of seniors aging in place including fall detection, impact detection, activity and vital signs monitoring. Other applications include monitoring those with chronic conditions such those with opiod use disorder, sepsis risks and other associated conditions.

The challenge of travel for older patients to get treatment in winter or even in the summer was noted by 1980 with potential electronic solutions impractical at that time. As early as 1995, burgeoning healthcare costs threatened the level of care and dominated the spending of the province of Ontario, and by then the technology was available. Studies showed that using home care as opposed to hospital care could reduce the costs of care by approximately 10X while improving quality of life for patients; however, the industry was not ready for this.

Since 2007, RoweBots has delivered various healthcare solutions to assist other people. From glasses to help the blind see through holter monitors powered with AI, RoweBots developed expertise in Medical Internet of Things (MIoT) before starting the SafetyPatch product. After years of development, SafetyPatch is a ready: complete with comprehensive continuous human physiology monitoring including all vital signs, falls, impacts, activity, location, an early warning system and automated monitoring. FDA and MDSAP certifications are underway along with field trials. Advance purchases are a click away with Q1/25 delivery.
