Health Cities is seeking expressions of interest from vendors offering technology solutions that can improve resident safety, staff response, and resident quality of life within lodge settings.  

This Call for Innovation is intended to identify practical, resident-centred solutions that can be piloted in an existing lodge environment and that are suitable for older adults living in supportive congregate settings. 

In collaboration with participating lodge sites, this initiative will test and evaluate solutions designed to:  

  • Improve safety and reduce risk for residents living in lodge environments. 
  • Support timely staff awareness and response to resident needs. 
  • Reduce reliance on manual checks or resident-dependent activation. 
  • Respect resident dignity, comfort, and privacy. 
  • Fit within existing lodge workflows and infrastructure with minimal disruption. 

Selected solutions must be deployable within a functioning lodge environment, require reasonable levels of onboarding and training, and be ready for a practical pilot in 10-15 dedicated resident suites with the potential to expand to additional sites. 

Please note that if a company offers multiple distinct solutions addressing these priority areas, a separate submission is required for each.
