Problem
Elderly patients often experience subtle changes in daily activities, vital signs, and cognitive function that can indicate declining health or the onset of serious illness. Detecting these changes requires continuous monitoring, which is difficult to achieve with traditional, infrequent clinical assessments. This lack of timely insight can lead to delayed interventions and poorer health outcomes.
Solution
Benete provides a sensor-based remote monitoring platform that analyzes elderly patients' daily activities and functional capacity within their homes. By using in-home sensors and intelligent algorithms, the platform models a person's typical routines and identifies deviations that may signal a decline in health, wellbeing, or cognition. This enables care teams to proactively identify and address potential issues, ensuring timely and appropriate care. The system provides continuous, real-world data on a patient's functional status, offering a more comprehensive and responsive approach to elderly care compared to traditional assessment methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare professionals in nursing homes, home care services, and healthcare organizations focused on elderly care, as well as family members seeking to monitor the well-being of their loved ones.
