Garden Loft pairs prefabricated housing with health monitoring
The Calgary startup integrates behavioral tracking algorithms into modular dwellings for older adults.
Garden Loft, a Calgary-based age-tech and proptech venture established in 2022, is developing prefabricated living spaces designed to help older adults remain independent [1].
The company manufactures modular housing units that incorporate dedicated age-tech features [1]. To track resident health metrics, Garden Loft applies an algorithm that monitors incoming streams of behavioral data [1]. Co-founder John Brown described the concept as "more than a smart home" designed around care [1]. Brown founded the business alongside Carina van Olm Brown and Matthew North [1].
Thin Air Labs supports the enterprise, serving as both a growth studio and a funding catalyst for the team [1]. Garden Loft has tailored its hardware and software setup to provide passive oversight without displacing occupants from residential settings [1].
