Canadian firms launch AI home care hubs for seniors

CHAH AI Care and Quoted Tech have partnered to build and deploy CHAH AI Support Hubs for home healthcare in Canada. The companies describe the system as the first Canadian-made, AI-powered home healthcare product designed for continuous monitoring of seniors and medically complex patients at home.

The partnership combines CHAH AI Care's in-home sensors, AI model and clinical monitoring service with Quoted Tech's Ontario-assembled computing hardware. An initial production run of 50 hubs will be used for pilot deployments across Ontario.

The announcement comes as healthcare providers face rising demand from an ageing population and increasing rates of chronic illness. By 2030, nearly one in four Canadians will be over 65. In Ontario, the number of adults living with major chronic illness is projected to reach 3.1 million by 2040.

Capacity remains tight across the system. Canada has 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the OECD average of 4.2. The number of long-term care workers per 100 people aged 65 and over is 3.7, compared with an OECD average of 5.0.

Home monitoring

The CHAH AI Support Hub is intended to extend observation beyond hospitals and clinics into patients' homes. CHAH AI Care said the system can detect changes in a patient's condition and flag early warning signs, including changes in gait, infections and cardiac events, allowing care teams to intervene before problems worsen.

Quoted Tech is supplying the computing systems that run those workloads in the home. Based in Scarborough, the company builds custom computers and says the healthcare units are assembled in Ontario for secure, continuous operation.

The hub is aimed at seniors and people with complex medical needs who may spend long periods outside direct clinical supervision between appointments. It is designed to give clinicians more regular signals from those patients and improve care coordination.

Canadian build

Both businesses framed the project as a domestic technology effort in a sector where concerns about data handling and system resilience are growing. CHAH AI Care focuses on home-based care models using predictive analytics, remote monitoring and coordinated response. Quoted Tech has expanded from consumer and specialist computing into AI and healthcare infrastructure.

Robert Stanley, founder and chief executive officer of CHAH AI Care and Stay at Home Nursing, said demographic pressure on the healthcare system leaves little room to rely on hospital expansion alone.

"Canada's healthcare system is facing a demographic wave that will fundamentally reshape how care needs to be delivered," Stanley said.

"We cannot build enough hospital beds fast enough to meet demand. The future of healthcare will require intelligent infrastructure in the home, technology that helps identify risks earlier, supports care teams, and allows Canadians to age safely where they want to be," he added.

Kevin Jia, co-founder and chief executive officer of Quoted Tech, focused on the role of hardware in home-based clinical monitoring.

"Every component we selected, every system we assembled, and every deployment we support directly shapes whether a patient gets the care they need, when they need it," Jia said.

"When we design hardware for healthcare AI, the margin for error is zero. We're proud to build this infrastructure in Canada, ensuring that the data, the intelligence, and the innovation powering care for Canadians stay here - sovereign, secure, and in service of a strong healthcare system," he added.

The initial Ontario pilot will test whether the system can be rolled out more widely as providers look for ways to manage demand outside hospitals and long-term care facilities. Quoted Tech says it is equipped to increase manufacturing output in Canada as deployments expand.

Quoted Tech was founded in 2023 and says it has served more than 10,000 customers across Canada. CHAH AI Care says its model is built around comprehensive healthcare at home, with clinical monitoring intended to support earlier intervention for patients whose conditions can deteriorate between routine contact with the health system.
