Ambient Intelligence for Aging-in-Place

HomeSense

Passive smart home insights for safer independent living.

HomeSense helps family caregivers understand daily wellbeing through clear summaries and important alerts without requiring wearables, cameras, or behavior change from the resident.

01

The Problem

Families need visibility without turning the home into a clinic.

Aging adults increasingly prefer to remain at home, while family caregivers often rely on manual check-ins that are inconsistent, reactive, and incomplete.

  • Existing alternatives can be expensive, intrusive, or hard to adopt.
  • Manual check-ins miss subtle routine changes.
  • Raw sensor dashboards create more work instead of clarity.
02

Our Insight

Smart homes already sense activity. Caregivers need meaning.

Low-cost smart home ecosystems can provide useful ambient signals, but adoption depends on trust, simplicity, and human-readable insight.

  • No wearables or resident behavior change required.
  • Sensor data must be translated into useful context.
  • Simplicity matters more than another dashboard.
03

Our Solution

HomeSense converts home activity into simple, trusted updates.

The product learns routines, detects meaningful pattern changes, and turns off-the-shelf sensor activity into the summaries and alerts caregivers actually need.

  • Leverages off-the-shelf motion, door, environment, and appliance sensors.
  • Provides real-time alerts and clear daily summaries.
  • Designed to be low-cost, scalable, and privacy-first.

The Experience

One daily summary, plus only the alerts that matter.

Caregivers receive plain-language updates by email or text, while the resident continues living normally at home.

Daily summaries

She woke around 6am and had a typical morning routine.

No kitchen activity today - might want to check in.

Front door opened twice mid-morning - likely her daily walk.

Real-time alerts

The back door has been open for 1 hour.

The stove has been on for 2 hours.

Key Features

Built from passive sensing into useful context.

Passive monitoring

Motion, doors, environment, and appliances provide ambient context without cameras or wearables.

Personalized behavior modeling

HomeSense adapts over time so routine changes can be understood in context.

Configurable alerts

Families can tune the signals that deserve immediate attention.

Room-based setup

Sensor mapping keeps installation understandable and supports tiered configurations.
