The updated kit features an overnight wellness sensor to track sleep patterns in older adults without the use of cameras or wearables.
Key takeaways:
- Iveda launched Sleep Sense, a contactless sensor added to its IvedaCare platform to monitor overnight vital signs and sleep patterns in senior living environments.
- The system tracks heart rate, respiratory rate, bed presence, and movement without requiring wearables or cameras, generating daily sleep reports for care planning.
- The updated kit includes the Sleep Sense sensor, motion sensors, door sensors, and an SOS button.
Iveda, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven video analytics and smart city technologies, has added Sleep Sense to its IvedaCare platform for senior living and aging-in-place environments. Sleep Sense is a contactless overnight wellness sensor designed to give caregivers, nursing staff, and families visibility into senior health without the use of cameras or wearables.
“Sleep is one of the earliest places health changes show up—and one of the last places senior care thinks to look,” says David Ly, CEO and founder of Iveda, in a release. “When you can monitor it passively every night, without waking anyone or asking them to wear a device, you start to see patterns that can surface a health change weeks before it becomes a crisis. That’s what we’ve built into the new IvedaCare Kit, and it’s what senior care has needed for a long time.”
Sleep Sense addresses this gap directly, adding overnight vital sign monitoring to IvedaCare, allowing caregivers to track heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep patterns night after night and surface trends before they escalate into clinical events. It also tracks bed presence, detects prolonged exits, flags oversleeping and frequent nighttime movement, and generates daily sleep reports for use in care planning.
Powered by a proprietary AI engine, the enhanced IvedaCare Kit installs across private living quarters with no disruption to residents. It now includes:
- 1 Sleep Sense sensor, which acts as the connection gateway to the platform
- 4 motion sensors for greater ambient detection
- 2 door sensors, which can also be used as cabinet sensors, including medicine cabinets
- 1 SOS button for emergency assistance, including urgent fall-related events
Nursing staff and caregivers can access a dedicated insights dashboard that surfaces room-level wellness scores to help prioritize care, with all data accessible in real time through the IvedaCare app.
The platform is HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA compliant and is backed by the US National Institute on Aging, with research partners including UC Berkeley, Johns Hopkins University, Georgia Tech, Emory Brain Health Center, and the National Science Foundation.
“IvedaCare is proud to have some of the most respected names in aging research behind this work,” adds Ly. “It reflects what we’ve always believed: that technology can and should play a meaningful role in how we care for older adults.”
The complete IvedaCare Kit is available now for a $500 manufacturer’s suggested retail price. A $50 monthly subscription provides ongoing access to daily insights, sleep reporting, real-time alerts, and care analytics.
