- Published 17 February 2025; updated 28 September 2026; estimated reading time 2 minutes. Available in Europe under Health and life science / Medtech and Made in Norway.
- Sensio’s RoomMate is a patient-monitoring system for elderly-care settings. It uses algorithms to detect and alert staff to events such as a resident sitting up or leaving bed, opening a door, falling or calling for help, without requiring residents to wear or activate an alarm. It can also provide anonymous digital supervision intended to protect privacy while allowing staff to check whether help is needed.
- The article says aging populations and dementia increase demand on care staff, while some residents may be unable to call for help after dangerous events. Sensio says RoomMate can reduce falls, injuries and hospitalisations, avoid unnecessary physical checks that interrupt sleep, lower staff stress and sick leave, and help care organisations use staff time more efficiently for person-centred care.
- Market context cites a remote-patient-monitoring market forecast of USD 4 billion by 2030 with 8.7% annual growth. Sensio reports several hundred customers, mainly Nordic public organisations/municipalities and UK care groups. RoomMate and other Sensio products have Norway’s Made in Norway origin label.
- Case-study links cover gains in elderly care, benefits of sensor-based supervision, and how digital supervision works.
- Linked to SDGs 3 (Good health and well-being) and 8 (Decent work and economic growth) for resident safety/privacy and reduced pressure on care workers.
