Unlike traditional assessments that rely on periodic observations or self-reported information, Sensi AI continuously analyzes patterns within the home environment, identifying changes in daily routines, mobility, sleep, social engagement, caregiver involvement, safety risks, and overall care needs. This creates a comprehensive picture of the client's actual support requirements based on measurable health metrics rather than isolated snapshots in time.
When meeting with an AHS Case Manager, a medical professional, or during reassessments, family caregivers can use these insights to demonstrate increasing care needs, caregiver stress, safety concerns, nighttime supervision requirements, or changes in functional ability. This evidence-based approach helps ensure that care plans and funding allocations accurately reflect the client's current circumstances and evolving needs. The result is often a stronger case for maintaining or increasing authorized hours, accessing additional respite supports, or qualifying for funding streams that may not have been previously considered.
By combining professional assessments with objective care data gathered through Ohana Connect, families are better positioned to advocate for the level of support required to safely remain at home while maximizing the publicly funded resources available through AHS and CDHCI programs. Data-driven care planning helps ensure that funding decisions are based on what is actually happening in the home, not just what can be captured during a single assessment visit.
The patterns it captures, changes in sleep, activity, cognition, social engagement, and physical wellbeing, build a clear picture of daily life. Months of this data can become a powerful asset when it comes time to apply for or request additional government-funded care hours through Alberta Health Services.
Without that record, families often have to rely on memory and anecdote when advocating for care funding. With Ohana Connect, you can point to patterns. And patterns are harder to dismiss.
