sensassure logoSensassure, a Canadian aging-tech startup, has temporarily relocated to Columbia, MD to work with Maryland-based aged-care services provider Lorien Health Systems to continue developing Sensassure's hardware/software solution for managing urinary incontinence in the elderly. Sensassure's product utilizes a sensor to detect urination events, which alerts nursing staff when changes are required. Sensassure offers a substantial upgrade from the current manual care processes employed by nursing staff, which lead to missed incontinence events that develop into expensive secondary conditions such as rashes and bed-sores, as well as reducing the time spent checking patients who have not had an event. While in Maryland, Sensassure's co-founding team is physically living at one of Lorien's assisted living communities as they begin their pilot program. You can check out their video blog here.
