Tetsuyu HealthCare: Blending Hospital Proficiency within Comforts of Home

Tetsuyu intends to tap on technology disruptions from robotics to internet of things, big data and artificial intelligence to transform community care

Homecare nurses monitor patient progress and escalate changes to authorized doctors thereby reducing avoidable hospital admissions.

Caregivers are better empowered through schedules, alerts and training content with nursing support. The care model extends to post hospitalization or transitional care, long-term care for chronic diseases, and palliative care for end-of-life situations like cancer. It also encompasses home based therapy care for dementia, speech, occupational therapy, and physiotherapy.

Leveraging technology and a good care model, Tetsuyu is helping the elderly receive affordable quality care within the comfort of home. The CARES platform also facilitates a multi-disciplinary care network and team collaboration with real-time chat functions. With these, Tetsuyu addresses challenges including staff shortage, quality skills, paperwork complexities, and reduction of productivity due to excess travel time.

“Tetsuyu intends to tap on technology disruptions from robotics to internet of things, big data and artificial intelligence to transform community care”, says Dr. Shinsuke Muto, Co-Founder and Medical Director of Tetsuyu Healthcare. The organization aspires to leverage technologies like AI and Big data to guide a more efficient care planning process and provide predictive analysis on wound healing trajectories based on past data. They are also researching on IoT applications such as fall detection sensors for a better care management platform. In addition, Tetsuyu partners with institutions and eldercare organizations to examine possibilities in telepresence and humanoid robotics for better care supervision and therapeutic engagement. The future plans lie in strengthening the team of in-house doctors, nurses, and exploring outside Singapore, into the markets including U.S., Japan, Malaysia, and China. Tetsuyu envisions revolutionizing delivery paradigms in long-term eldercare through innovative care models and driving new frontiers in productivity, quality, and value.
