Monitoring Wake-Up Delays Can Prevent Senior Health Crises
You want to check in, but you hesitate. Is it too early to call? They said they were a little tired yesterday—was it just a long day, or the start of something more? The house is quiet. Your phone shows no movement yet. No sign of coffee brewing, no usual signs of a...
Monitoring Wake-Up Delays Can Prevent Senior Health Crises
Wake-up time is one of the earliest indicators of senior health changes. Subtle delays in a daily routine, like waking 60–90 minutes later than usual, can reveal emerging physical, emotional, or cognitive strain long before a crisis occurs. This blog explores why wake-up monitoring matters, why traditional systems often miss it, and how passive sensing technologies can transform these overlooked signals into proactive, personalized care.

Cognitive Systems to Advance Leading-Edge WiFi Motion Technology with Support from the Strategic Innovation Fund
Cognitive Systems Corp. is set to receive a $7.3 million investment from the Canadian government's Strategic Innovation Fund to further develop its WiFi Motion™ technology. The patented technology, when integrated into routers and gateways, monitors wireless signals within existing WiFi environments to alert users of motion, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for advanced motion localization and personalized experiences. The investment will be used to enhance the AI engines, develop wellness monitoring features, and optimize energy management in connected homes. The funding supports Cognitive Systems' vision of a fully connected, cognitive smart home.
Waterloo’s Cognitive Systems Sees the Unseeable
Waterloo-based Cognitive Systems Corp has developed software that can detect ripples in radio frequency waves caused by movement, turning connected devices into motion sensors. The technology, known as WiFi Motion, can be used for security, health monitoring, and home automation. Installed on internet routers, it can alert homeowners to movement and adjust heating or lighting according to patterns learned over time. Cognitive Systems recently received a $7.3m investment from the Canadian federal government to support its growth. The technology has privacy features, as it doesn't use live video and offers user control over when it is active.
