ELDR is a Minnesota-based IT vendor specializing in communication and safety systems for senior housing. Their portfolio includes nurse call, wander management, and connectivity tools that enhance care delivery and operational efficiency. With a growing vision to expand into hospitals, universities, and commercial spaces, ELDR continues to innovate with human-first technology.
When COVID-19 struck, ELDR partnered with Solvative to rapidly develop a contactless thermal scanning and visitor management solution that could protect vulnerable senior populations—without the high costs seen across competing technologies.
As it became apparent that seniors were in the highest risk group for COVID-19, ELDR approached Solvative to help develop a monitoring/protection/mitigation product that could aid senior living centers in safeguarding residents and staff from the virus.
The Challenge
Creating a safe, automated entry solution for high-risk facilities during a global crisis.
Key challenges identified:
The Solution
A contactless thermal scanning and visitor management system built for speed, safety, and simplicity.
Key elements of the solution:
The Result
Faster delivery, safer environments, and affordable innovation at scale.
FILTR and FILTRPASS replaced manual screening with an automated system that scans, logs, and reports in seconds. Facilities now operate more safely with fewer staff resources needed at entry points.
Though born out of pandemic necessity, both solutions were designed for long-term use—enabling facilities to retain contactless access control and visitor data management beyond COVID-19. ELDR now offers a future-ready foundation for smarter building access and infection control.
The FILTR and FILTRPASS systems reflect the strength of ELDR and Solvative’s partnership—rooted in empathy, speed, and real-world problem-solving. By combining ELDR’s understanding of senior housing with Solvative’s product development expertise, the collaboration delivered affordable safety tech when it mattered most. Today, these tools continue to protect communities while setting a new standard for innovation in healthcare environments.
