Tochtech

What Tochtech does

Tochtech Technologies Ltd. is a Vancouver-based healthcare technology company founded in 2014 by Jessica Yang (CEO) and Wei Fang (CTO), both former product developers at Nokia and Motorola. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a portfolio of four core products aimed at enabling safer independent living and improving quality of care for seniors: Smarturns (intelligent stove safety knobs with motion sensing), Vericare (a remote activity monitoring and risk-prediction platform), Tochie (a voice-integrated personal aide for reminders and personalized messages), and Toch Sleepsense (a non-wearable bed sensor that monitors heart rate, breathing rate, sleep quality, and bed-exit events using proprietary BCG wave detection). An optional Night Light Safety Package augments Sleepsense for nighttime fall prevention.

The technology stack is centered on proprietary machine learning models trained on sensor data to recognize behavior and activity patterns, detect anomalies, and increasingly predict adverse events — most notably an industry-first AI-driven predictive bed exit capability launched in September 2025. Data processing is anchored by PIPEDA- and GDPR-compliant infrastructure with Canadian data residency. The business model combines hardware sales (consumer e-commerce at tochtech.com with free shipping over $100 in US/Canada, plus retail and online-vendor placements in BC), wholesale and dropship programs for resellers, and recurring software/subscription value tied to monitoring, alerts, and analytics. Enterprise sales target long-term care facilities, retirement communities, and hospitals, with growing traction across Canadian operators such as Trellis Seniors (450+ beds), Bethany Riverview and Academy of Aging (178 beds), The Views at Providence Living (156 beds), and Langley Lodge, plus international deployments through HSC Technology Group (Australia/New Zealand) and Mediva Inc (Japan).

Tochtech pursues a hybrid go-to-market spanning direct-to-consumer e-commerce, enterprise field sales to care facilities, and channel partners including health authorities (Fraser Health, CAN Health Network), care providers (McCormick Care Group, Elim Village), and international distributors. The company has accumulated more than a dozen industry recognitions (AGE-WELL National Impact Challenge in 2019 and 2020, VillageMD Next Big Idea 2021, OBIO EAHN 2021, envisAGE 2024, Fast Track Health Showcase 2024, UK Canada AgeTech Exchange 2023) and maintains a small, founder-led team that includes dedicated AI/data science and clinical specialist roles.

Products and services

• Smarturns First-in-class stove safety device that transforms any stove into a smart stove. Intelligent stove knobs and a motion sensor detect when the stove is on and unattended, alerting users via local alarm and notifying caregivers via text message. Works on gas and electric stoves, supporting 98% of stove models.
• Vericare Risk-predictive smart care platform enabling seniors to age safely at home. Uses sensors to monitor daily activities and sends real-time activity update notifications and scheduled reports to family members and caregivers, supporting improved care plan decisions.
• Tochie Voice-integrated personal aide that allows caregivers to record personalized voice messages for medication reminders, appointments, tasks and daily activities. Seniors hear familiar voices rather than generic alarms, and the system supports multiple languages for non-English speaking seniors.
• Toch Sleepsense Non-wearable bed sensor placed under one wheel or leg of the bed that uses high-precision sensors and algorithms to measure heart and breathing rates (via BCG waves), detect body movement, monitor sleep patterns, and issue real-time alerts to caregivers when health risks are identified during sleep or when bed exit is anticipated.
• Sleepsense Night Light Safety Package Auto lighting accessory for Toch Sleepsense that provides enhanced safety during the night. Automatically illuminates pathways when the sleeper exits the bed, reducing fall risk during nighttime movements.
