The eNeighborhood platform uses Wi-Fi technology to do everything  from alerting nurses in case of emergencies to collecting real-time patient data like weight, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels.

Last year, Healthsense received a grant from the Defense Advanced Projects Agency to explore how its technologies can prevent elderly patients, especially ones that suffer from dementia, from entering costly nursing facilities.
