What is Sensacare?
Sensacare is a digital health platform that enables remote monitoring of a participant's:
- •Vitals (e.g. heart rate, temperature)
- •Sleep and stress patterns
- •Daily activity and behavioural trends
- •Device alerts and safety indicators
It is used to support independent living, reduce health risks, and improve overall quality of care for participants with disabilities.
Can Sensacare Be Funded by the NDIS?
