In Canada, iSIGN has partnered with Corbiz Strategies (“Corbiz”) to introduce SAM to their contacts at thousands of seniors’ homes and long-term care facilities across the country.  Corbiz has arranged for a number of on-going conversations and presentations to home administrators to date, with more to be scheduled.

Currently, Corbiz is finalizing the registrations for eleven seniors’ facilities in Western Canada, involving 4,400 seniors and family members.  Registration is currently underway for a few dozen homes in Ontario, Alberta and soon in British Columbia. While there is no obligation for a home to continue with the use of SAM beyond the six-month free use, iSIGN is confident that many locations will contract for the use of SAM once the no-charge period ends.  iSIGN’s fee per registrant will be in the range of $36-$48 per annum.

Seniors’ homes and long-term care facility homes in Canada have proven to be the most at-risk during this Coronavirus/Covid-19 emergency.  Over half of the fatalities from Coronavirus/Covid-19 in Canada have been residents in retirement and nursing homes.  iSIGN’s desired goal from the no-charge SAM offer, is to provide a solution to the most urgent problem affecting all seniors’ and nursing homes - a tool that allows for instantaneous communications to residents, their families and staff members that is simple and easy to use.  Additionally, this can be expanded to all local first responders and emergency medical responders as required ensuring the fastest possible response.

Examples of messages to residents and staff members include social distancing requirements, reminders for regular handwashing as well as directives concerning the wearing of masks, where protective equipment can be picked up and prescription information.  Family members would be able to receive notices regarding their loved ones, announcements regarding changes in home access hours and other relevant information. 

For the home, the advantage of using SAM, is that communications with family members and residents can be performed quickly and efficiently, reducing time spent on communications from hours to minutes.

SAM is a cloud-based technology capable of delivering messaging to mobile devices as well as to tablets and computers via any combination of email; directly to the lock screen of cell phones; and SMS messaging.  The entire registration process is approximately one-two minutes per registrant.  Registration, performed by each site or individual, is done without any requirement for face to face contact and involves the following simple steps:
