Comprehensive Healthcare at Home (CHAH) has partnered with Chooch to integrate the latter’s AI models into its AI-powered solutions to offer home-based care in Canada, enhancing patient care.
Under the agreement, CHAH will deploy Chooch’s Vision AI Care to help detect early indicators of health complications, falls, and injuries using a real-time monitoring camera and AI-driven analysis.
According to a WHO report, falls are among the leading causes of unintentional injury death globally, claiming the lives of over 684,000 people worldwide every year.
Depending on the injuries, which always range from head injuries, trauma, fractured bones, and other types of injuries, such incidences may result in hospitalization, increasing demand for emergency care, and increasing healthcare burden.
However, these cases continue on an upward trend as many adults above 65 years continue to face high risks of fatal falls.
Improving Homecare with AI Technology
According to a surveillance report published by the Canadian Government earlier this year, accidental falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations as well as deaths among older adults aged over 65 years.
As such, innovative technologies designed to address this challenge are life-saving. CHAH’s AI-driven technology can predict, detect, and send alerts to healthcare professionals about a potential risk, improving patient safety and enhancing patients’ care outcomes.
The technology complements the existing homecare programs by shifting long-term care ward capabilities to the comfort of patients’ homes. This enables hospitals and healthcare facilities to increase care capacity, addressing common healthcare delivery challenges such as staffing shortages.
According to CHAH CEO Robert Stanley, combining at-home comprehensive care with Vision AI Care is a paradigm shift that could transform homecare for good, with Chooch CEO Anubhav Saxena adding that Vision AI is almost indispensable in at-home healthcare.
