Real-Time Care Improvement: Smart Clocks in Home Support
The CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal deployed 50 smart clocks in clients’ homes to improve autonomy, reduce avoidable visits, and support seamless communication with caregivers and family members. These clocks can be programmed with personalized reminders (e.g., medication, appointments, visits), reducing dependency on in-person care.
In just seven months, 6,365 home visits were avoided, saving over $80,000 and reducing 20,750 kg of CO₂ emissions. 64% of participants still use the device, with satisfaction rates above 90%. The project is grounded in a human-centered, technological, and inclusive approach — the interface is multilingual, and patients and families are actively involved. This easily replicable, innovative model shows how social innovation can transform home care for the benefit of users, caregivers, and the health system.

Plume AI Integration
Plume IA is a Quebec-based AI solution revolutionizing medical note-taking through automated clinical documentation. Created by two emergency physicians, it helps professionals save 1–2 hours per day by eliminating manual note-writing, while improving clarity and accuracy. Used by over 2,000 clinicians, Plume IA boosts clinical throughput (up to 6 more patients per day in some clinics), reduces stress, and has even delayed some retirements.
The app integrates seamlessly with existing clinical workflows, aligns with consultation pacing, and generates structured notes in real time. Already adopted by CHU de Québec, CHUS, and multiple GMFs, Plume IA is compatible with EMRs and improves interprofessional coordination. Intuitive, quick to implement, and designed with and for clinicians, Plume IA frees up time for care and enhances service quality.
