A Ring of Support for our Aging Population
Increasing Prevalence of Dementia
While over half a million Canadians are currently living with dementia, this number is expected to double to over a million within 15 years. As the burden of disease grows, the number of caregivers and individuals affected by dementia will also continue to grow.
Why Ring of Support?
The goal of Ring of Support (RoS) is to prolong independence at home for the senior while providing peace of mind and a reduced burden of stress on the caregiver. With individuals being able to stay independent for longer, the demand on assisted living and long-term care facilities – which are expensive and currently at capacity – will be reduced. Real-time monitoring to notify caregivers and health service providers of abnormal/at-risk behaviour is what will allow for timely intervention and sustainable long-term health management of our aging population.
RoS is a personalized and multi-modal digital engagement platform created to support individuals who are living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early stage dementia, their caregivers, and care providers who are directly involved in their home or medical care.
