Location

Canada

Task

IoT Platform Development, Sensor Integration, Environmental Monitoring, Remote Control Systems, Alert Management, Care Provider Dashboard

Comprehensive IoT-based remote monitoring solution developed for elder care homes in Canada as part of strategic partnership with Swiftsense Singapore.

The intelligent platform monitors resident room conditions through multiple sensors including door status, environmental controls, and emergency alerts to ensure safety and wellbeing.

Rugas Technologies delivered complete application development on top of IoT platform with real-time monitoring, abnormality detection, and remote control capabilities for caregivers.

Problems

Elder care facilities faced challenges in continuously monitoring residents' safety and room conditions, especially during night hours or when staff resources were limited.

Manual check-ins were time-consuming and could miss critical events like falls, unusual room activity, or environmental hazards affecting elderly residents.

Caregivers lacked real-time visibility into multiple rooms simultaneously and had no means to remotely adjust environmental controls for resident comfort.

Solutions

Multi-Sensor Integration - Comprehensive monitoring through room lights, door sensors, temperature, and humidity tracking

Door Activity Monitoring - Real-time tracking of bedroom and bathroom door status for activity patterns

SOS Emergency Button - Instant alert system for residents to call for immediate assistance

Environmental Monitoring - Continuous tracking of room temperature and humidity for optimal comfort

Abnormality Detection - Intelligent algorithms to identify unusual patterns or potential safety concerns

Remote Control Capabilities - Caregiver ability to control room lights and A/C remotely

Real-Time Alert System - Immediate notifications to care providers for critical events

Activity Pattern Analysis - Historical data analysis to understand resident behavior and detect changes

Care Provider Dashboard - Centralized monitoring interface for multiple resident rooms

Automated Reporting - Daily activity summaries and incident reports for care management

Process

Our development approach focused on creating a reliable, non-intrusive monitoring system that enhances resident safety while respecting privacy and dignity.

Working in partnership with Swiftsense Singapore, we designed the solution specifically for elder care environments with input from caregiving professionals.
