According to Statistics Canada, by 2030, seniors are expected to make up over 20 per cent of the total population. For the senior healthcare sector, this demographic shift is driving a potential healthcare crisis. As the number of elderly individuals continues to grow, the strain on healthcare resources and caregivers becomes more pressing. In order to meet and accommodate the increasing demand for care and support, innovative solutions are required.
Magicare, a trailblazer in healthcare technology, has made this imminent concern the focal point of its mission by creating a solution that tracks vital signs throughout sleep. With its ability to be applied to any mattress, the smart monitoring technology measures heart rate, respiration and any drastic changes, offering early warning when something is not right. Magicare does not stop there, this sleep monitoring system also includes out-of-bed detection, ensuring that if an emergency does occur, seniors get the immediate attention they need, no matter the time of day or night.
Beyond tracking vitals, the system also sends turn-over reminders to care teams, helping to prevent bedsores, a common issue for seniors who may spend extended periods in bed. And, with detailed reports on sleep quality, caregivers can ensure seniors are getting the rest they need and receive timely treatment if required.
Magicare’s smart tracking devices are helping to improve senior care by making it easier for staff to manage day-to-day operations while reducing risks. With better efficiency, caregivers can ensure that attention is spread evenly and emergencies are spotted before they become critical. This technology has helped to create a safer and more responsive environment for seniors and the people who care for them.
Recently, Magicare integrated with PointClickCare, a cloud-based platform that assists healthcare providers in streamlining operations and enhancing patient care. This integration will allow Magicare and its devices to track, monitor, and store data with the utmost efficiency, providing care teams with real-time insights to act swiftly and improve seniors’ quality of life.
For 83-year-old Jun Chao, Magicare’s smart devices provided him support in a life-or-death situation. After suffering a heart attack in the night, he lost his ability to call for help. Fortunately, Magicare’s smart mattress detected his abnormal heart rate data and automatically alerted the staff. With this timely reporting system, Jun Chao was able to get the treatment he needed at a critical time.
In reality, assisted living facilities, home-based elderly care providers and individual seniors often face life-threatening situations. It’s a harsh truth, but one that drives Magicare to create effective solutions. Led by a dedicated team focused on innovation, Magicare’s founder, Wei (Hercules) He explains they have been formulating their medical technology since 2014. Starting in their home country of China, their groundbreaking technology has since expanded across Europe, Japan and into North America, where it is beginning to transform the healthcare experience for seniors, families and caregivers alike.
