A caregiver at a resident's bedside in warm window light

Residents live freely.
Sensed, never seen.

Continuous monitoring at infinite scale. Every fall, every vital sign, every signal of decline, the moment it happens. No wearables, no cameras. Just dignity, with a safety net that never sleeps.

Why this reached you

How she works

She senses. She understands. She tells the right person.

01

She senses

Contactless ambient sensors watch each room around the clock. No cameras, no wearables, nothing for a resident with dementia to wear or remember.

02

She understands

Ella AI turns a continuous stream of motion into meaning, recognizing a fall, a restless night, or a slow drift in daily rhythm before it becomes a crisis.

03

She tells the right person

The right alert reaches the right caregiver in seconds, on the dashboard or on mobile, with no extra charting and no noise.

What Ella AI does

Four core capabilities

01

Fall detection

Ella AI detects falls within seconds and alerts staff immediately, day or night, whether the resident is in bed, in a chair, or on their feet. No wearable required.

02

Sleep monitoring

Continuous overnight tracking of sleep quality, restlessness, and time in bed. Ella AI identifies deteriorating sleep patterns before they surface as behavioral symptoms.

03

Behavioral change detection

Ella AI tracks activity rhythms across days and weeks, flagging statistically significant changes that may indicate pain, infection, or cognitive decline.

04

Staff coordination

Alerts, daily summaries, and trend reports flow to the right staff at the right time, through the dashboard or mobile, with no extra documentation burden.
