PALO ALTO, California—Sensi.AI, a company in care intelligence, announced a partnership with Right at Home Canada, a provider of in-home care, to enhance senior care through proactive, data-driven insights. This partnership brings Sensi’s advanced technology to Canada, offering a comprehensive approach to assessing seniors’ physical, emotional and cognitive well-being. With more than 50 locations in Canada, Right at Home will now leverage Sensi’s care copilot to augment its in-person care, detect early health risks and reduce hospitalizations and readmissions.
Tackling Canada’s Growing Health Care Challenges
Preventable hospital visits place a heavy burden on Canada’s health care system. Hospital readmissions alone cost $2.3 billion annually, with 8.5% of patients readmitted within 30 days—up to 59% of these cases are potentially avoidable. Seniors, particularly those with dementia and multimorbidity, face an even higher risk, with nearly 40% of their readmissions deemed preventable.
At the same time, overcrowding and rising costs in hospital emergency departments (EDs) in Canada have become a growing concern, highlighting the need for better in-home care solutions. Factors like disconnected care transitions and communication gaps exacerbate these challenges.
By embedding Sensi.AI’s real-time care intelligence and assessment solution into its in-home supportive care service, Right at Home Canada aims to improve care continuity, enable early intervention, and enhance the overall quality of in-home senior care.
Protecting Senior Independence—Without Compromise
“Our mission is to positively impact the quality of life for our older and differently-abled adults in hundreds of communities across Canada," said Dani DePetrillo, chief operating officer at Right at Home Canada. "Most older adults prefer to age in place, and Sensi.AI’s real-time, proactive insights coupled with our human care solutions enable us to deliver more precise and responsive care. With Sensi, we gain a deeper, round-the-clock understanding of our older adult clients, enabling us to keep them safer, healthier and more independent at home.”
“This partnership with Right at Home Canada is more than just expansion—it’s a bold statement that blended care, with human and technology working alongside each other, is the future," said Romi Gubes, Sensi.AI’s CEO and co-founder. "The impact we have had on seniors has been life-changing, and now we’re bringing that same breakthrough to seniors in Canada. It’s an honor to stand by them ensuring they not only age at home but truly live their best lives.”
Real-World Impact: A Senior’s Journey from Hospitalization to Stability
A real-world example highlights the impact of Sensi.AI: Diana, a senior with severe dementia, had 24/7 care needs and was receiving only nine hours of care per week. Prior to using Sensi.AI, she fell three times overnight and was hospitalized three times in 30 days. Sensi.AI’s assessment uncovered that Diana frequently woke up calling out for assistance to the washroom during the hour prior to her caregiver’s arrival time. Sensi.AI also detected cognitive decline, mental distress, physical anomalies and care resistance.
Armed with robust insights, her homecare provider adjusted her care plan, including earlier morning caregiver support, leading to 14 months without hospitalization and improving the well-being of both Diana and her caregivers.
