Gretel Analytics
Gretel augmented clinical teams through real-time and over-time insights to ensure vulnerable residents were safe and served in aged care.
The platform leveraged a data agnostic approach to aggregating sensor based data streams (legacy, IoT & CV) and point of care data in residential aged care. Interoperability and logic tailored to the needs of residents, reduced complexity while providing patient centred, actionable insights. The ability to automate compliance reporting and mitigate risk maximised operational viability and commercial appeal.
'On the ground' carers spent more time providing quality care and less 'busy work' juggling systems and manually reporting.
Most importantly, real time, always-on data created a virtual net beneath this dynamic clinical environment to ensure no vulnerable residents 'slipped through the cracks'.
From reactive to preventative, Gretel was making residential aged care smart and safe.
I was passionate about this mission.
The interim report for The Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety was titled "Neglect". It found that the aged care system failed to meet the needs of our older citizens in the delivery of safe and quality care.
The magic of our solution was that we had created a pipeline which processed and then deleted computer vision data in real time. This enabled extremely granular and accurate location, identification and behaviour reporting, while protecting and maintaining the dignity of individuals and staff in care. The opportunity to maximise learnings from this data through cloud based machine learning models was endless.
In step with what's up next
During my tenure as a founder, we had the opportunity to partner with AWS and take the inside lane with the latest services available. The same curiosity that had me creating contraptions in the backyard as a kid, is present at such opportunities. If my mind is on a solution, you can rest assured, that I'll be looking for opportunities to utilise the latest tech to improve outcomes.
