COVID-19 No More Lonely Death in Long-term Care

Being sick and dying with COVID-19 is one of the saddest things in life as you are so alone with nobody beside you.  We feel sad just imagining  a situation of family members and friends not being able to be beside us when we need them the most.

We were so shocked reading "82% of Canada’s COVID-19 deaths have been in long-term care".

Physical distance and isolation seems working against COVID-19. Having safe distance for vulnerable groups is even more critical as we can see what happened last few months. On 2 June 2020,  8 Long-term Care Homes, 5 Retirement Homes and 2 Hospitals, 1 group home/Assisted Living in Ottawa are still on active outbreaks.


We are not medical professionals, but our team in Ottawa are good at technology. There are people who can be safer with our invention and development. So we want to help them. 

We are an Ottawa-based team whose expertise in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. When everybody started to suffer and hear news of death with COVID-19 pandemic, we started to develop an electronic PPE device in collaboration between University of Ottawa and Lavia Solutions.

We would like to provide our devices to those where social distance is critical for health and safety. Our device works as PPE by providing alarms when people are closer than 2 meters, 6 feet  or any distance you like to set. 




We would like to do fundraising to support material cost to manufacture as many as possible.
