Tochtech Technologies and Mediva Inc are proud to announce their partnership on a pioneering pilot project aimed at validating the use of Tochtech’s Vericare remote monitoring platform to improve the safety and health outcomes for seniors in Japan. This groundbreaking project that has been facilitated through the invaluable efforts of the Asia Pacific Foundation and the Canadian-Japanese trade commission office, is funded by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP).
Tochtech Technologies, a Canadian-based digital health company and Mediva, a healthcare consulting and service operation company and the consulting arm of Platanus Medical Corp., have been in discussions in preparation for the project for several months. The pilot project involves the installation of a range of non-wearable, smart sensors developed by Tochtech Technologies, which will be strategically placed within seniors’ homes to remotely track essential aspects of their daily lives, including activity levels, nutritional intake, sleep quality, and room temperature. This data will be meticulously monitored by a team of dedicated medical professionals, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of care and medical plans for the senior population.
One of the unique aspects of this pilot project is its commitment to fostering greater family involvement in seniors’ well-being. The information gathered by the smart sensors will also be made available to the families of the seniors, empowering them to stay connected and informed about their loved ones’ health and safety in real-time.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both Mediva and Tochtech Technologies. Mediva, which stands for Medical Innovation and Value Add, is steadfast in its mission to make a substantial impact in healthcare through innovation and patient-centred care, this partnership underscores their unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of seniors. For Tochtech Technologies, this initiative aligns perfectly with their global expansion goals, illustrating their dedication to advancing innovative solutions for the aging population worldwide.
