Empowering Aged Care: The SimaVita Story and a Revolution in Care Efficiency
In an age where technology is continually pushing boundaries, the healthcare sector is witnessing innovations that are enhancing the quality of care like never before. One such pioneering venture is SimaVita, now known as Smart Z Technology, and the introduction of their digital nappy system. Partnering with Redgum, SimaVita managed to turn an ambitious idea into a real product that provides tremendous competitive advantage.
SimaVita: An Idea Revolutionizing Aged Care
SimaVita's journey began with an eight-year-long R&D project aimed at providing innovative solutions for aged care patients. Their main concept was the creation of a digital nappy that could track specific events within aged care patients. The purpose was not just to provide care but to predict the need for it and respond proactively.
Redgum’s Contribution: Building a Predictive Software
SimaVita had the digital nappy concept but needed a robust software package that could handle the data these innovative devices would provide. That’s where Redgum stepped in, employing its expertise in SaaS platforms to provide the necessary technological backbone.
Redgum's software picked up the data from the digital nappies, placed it in a database, and processed it. By understanding the patterns within the patients, they could predictively work out when a patient was about to have an event, saving both time and resources.
The Evolution to Smart Z Technology
