Nauman Jaffar, Founder, MarkiTech, LocateMotion- It is focused 100% on older adults (senior insights hence the name SENSIGHTS)
- It offers contactless wellness monitoring with tools like Veyetals, Ambient Sensors etc., hence patient does not need to wear any device to be monitored
- It is launching a tablet solution focused entirely for older adults with large icons, buttons, easy to use
- It is the only solution which will have an AI and Voice enabled Care Coach or Avatar on the tablet that will learn the senior’s personalized needs and help with day to day functions
- And much more all geared towards older adults with cognitive challenges
Bottom line, the platform aims to track wellness of the users by capturing their vitals, daily notes, medication effects, feelings, behavior, and subsequently assessing virtual interventions based on risk levels.
The idea of Locate Motion was conceived by its founder, Nauman Jaffar, who had to trace his child after he went missing while playing outside. Although he tracked his child within half an hour, he thought of developing a solution that could trace missing children, and he went on to lay the foundation for Locate Motion. Since then, the company has grown significantly, now also focusing on helping older adults live longer and safer in the comforts of their homes. The company’s product portfolio includes a solution called Safe@ Home, which is a health intelligence solution integrated with SenSights. AI.
The solution captures patient data from multiple sources and leverages it for remote patient monitoring. “The solution primarily focuses on fall detection, wandering detection, and tracking chronic medical conditions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels,” mentions Johanna Coutinho, Director of Marketing at Locate Motion. As the solution connects older adults with physicians, home care agencies, their families, and their social circles, it keeps seniors close to their families and friends.
LocateMotion’s platform allow health care agencies to discard the traditional healthcare model that requires them to be physically present with the patient. As the company brings a virtual platform into the home, home care agencies can monitor their clients round the clock without visiting them in person. That said, if the patients’ vital signs fall below the threshold, the solution alerts the caregivers, and they can respond to the alerts proactively. In essence, the company’s solution enables homecare agencies to continue to provide effective and cost-optimized care to more patients. While doing this, they can also reallocate their limited healthcare resources to cater to the needs of a growing senior population in an effective and productive manner.
The solution primarily focuses on fall detection, wandering, and tracking chronic medical conditions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels and sends alerts when they are beyond the prescribed range
As LocateMotion’s Safe@Home comes with tablet, mobile and web applications, older adults’ care circle can always connect with them. They can add friends, personal support workers, doctors, and family members to the application. After signing up, the application starts monitoring the user’s vital signs and enables the user to set smart alerts. Locate Motion uses a technology that can capture falls even without the user having to wear a sensor. In order to detect falls, the company provides a wall-mounted device that sends an alert message to the caregiver when it detects falls.
In one instance, a home care agency approached LocateMotion to help them monitor the patient’s blood pressure and glucose level remotely. One of the patients who started using the glucometer was delighted with the company’s device. As he could save the data on the application, he found the device and the application extremely beneficial. But, more importantly, doctors were able to use this data to assess the patient’s health conditions.
Such stories stem from LocateMotion’s commitment to making the lives of elderly citizens better and more convenient. The company continues to innovate to bring new solutions capable of changing the lives of elders dramatically. More recently, they have started working on another solution called Veyetals that can monitor the user’s vital signs through a smartphone. The company plans to augment this solution by including new features and capabilities in the days to come. In addition, Locate Motion has collaborated with Queen’s University, Ontario, to bring new AI-based solutions that can predict diabetes, and falls before they happen. With such solutions, the company intends to improve the condition of all their patients, helping them live full and healthy lives.

Revolutionizing Healthcare: SenSights.AI Amplifies Physician’s Efficiency with EPIC EMR Integration
LOS ANGELES -SenSights.AI proudly announces the successful integration of Epic Electronic Medical Records (EMR) into its comprehensive Telehealth and Remote Patient Monitoring platform. This milestone integration enhances efficiency, coordination, and cost savings for doctors, leading to better patient outcomes.
Epic holds the position as the largest provider of Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the United States, controlling 32.9% of the market share for acute care hospitals (Source: Becker's Health IT). Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) act as a centralized repository for crucial medical information, facilitating rapid access for healthcare professionals and enabling them to make informed treatment choices based on data. The integration of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) with Epic creates a comprehensive platform that synchronizes patient data in real-time, benefiting both healthcare providers and patients. This integration reduces redundant tasks, streamlines workflows, and ensures accurate documentation and billing, ultimately leading to improved patient care and enhanced medical decision-making.
"Interoperability and seamless data flows are key to transforming healthcare delivery," says Nauman Jaffar, Founder and CEO of SenSights.AI. "With the integration of Epic EMR into our telehealth platform, we empower healthcare providers with efficient workflows, automated processes, and real-time access to patient data. This integration not only enhances patient care but also delivers cost savings and increased operational efficiency."
SenSights.AI has gained recognition for its strong commitment to integration, successfully integrating with various platforms and FDA-approved devices, including 4G technology, wearables such as AmnioFit, Apple Watch, and Fitbit, IoT sensors like fall sensors, and AI-powered biometric monitoring tools like Veyetals. These integrations enable comprehensive remote patient monitoring capabilities, enhancing the overall healthcare experience. To further improve efficiency for doctors, SenSights.AI recently introduced ClearMD.Online, an AI-powered speech-to-text and voice recognition solution that automatically summarizes doctor-patient conversations. This innovation reduces paperwork and allows doctors to dedicate more time to patient care.
The collaboration between SenSights.AI and Epic EMR exemplifies the company's commitment to driving innovation and transforming the field of telehealth. As the demand for integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems continues to grow, SenSights.AI remains at the forefront, offering advanced telehealth solutions that enhance patient care, optimize operational efficiency, and deliver improved healthcare outcomes.
