Calgary’s PhantomOmics and Garden Loft Construction have partnered to bring biometric health monitoring to modular senior housing, redefining aging in place for Canadians.
The exclusive collaboration combines PhantomOmics’ advanced diagnostic technology with Garden Loft’s architecturally refined housing units, offering seniors a safer, smarter way to live independently for longer—without the need to transition into a nursing home or care facility.
PhantomOmics, a Calgary-based healthtech company, specializes in non-invasive diagnostic hardware, predictive AI, and smart home integrations. Garden Loft, also based in Alberta, designs modular backyard suites and small urban and rural villages to support aging in place.
Together, the companies are addressing a growing challenge: how to deliver affordable, preventative care to aging populations without overwhelming traditional healthcare infrastructure. Their integrated solution reduces healthcare costs, increases safety, and offers peace of mind for families and caregivers.
At the heart of the partnership is the Valetudo 800 Series, a compact, bathroom-mounted device powered by Ethernet. It delivers continuous, non-contact health monitoring through advanced sensors and AI analytics. Each Garden Loft will include the device as part of its digital care platform.
The Valetudo 800 offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to support daily health monitoring. It uses bioelectrical impedance scanning and multispectral thermal imaging to assess vital signs non-invasively, while smart sensors track balance, weight, and mobility patterns.
The device also monitors environmental conditions such as air quality, CO₂ levels, smoke, gas, and potential flooding. All data is processed through AI-powered analytics using Home Assistant and the Matter protocol, enabling seamless integration into smart home systems.
Like the rest of Garden Loft’s smart infrastructure, PhantomOmics’ device works quietly in the background and alerts caregivers or clinicians only when necessary—providing unobtrusive but essential monitoring for residents who value privacy and autonomy.
“This partnership demonstrates what’s possible when architecture and AI-driven diagnostics come together,” said Carson Sander, CEO of PhantomOmics. “We’re not just building devices—we’re engineering environments that care.”
The timing is critical: Canada’s senior population is expected to double by 2045. Globally, more than 1.5 billion people will be over 65 by 2050. As pressure mounts on health systems, demand for aging-in-place solutions continues to grow.
With PhantomOmics’ technology, Garden Loft becomes more than housing—it becomes a self-contained wellness hub capable of detecting health issues early, reducing emergency visits, and supporting timely intervention without compromising comfort or dignity.
Rooted in Alberta’s innovation ecosystem, this partnership positions the province at the forefront of healthtech and age-tech—delivering scalable, tech-enabled care solutions to a growing population in need.
