Problem
Families caring for older adults living alone often lack real-time insight into their loved one's safety and wellbeing, relying on intermittent phone calls or invasive monitoring methods that can compromise privacy and dignity.
Solution
Silvie offers a privacy‑first home monitoring system that uses a radar motion sensor to detect movement, falls, and vital signs from up to 20 feet away, without cameras or wearables. The sensor continuously captures over 50 wellness and daily‑living metrics and streams the data to a family‑friendly mobile app. Caregivers receive daily summaries and instant safety alerts, enabling them to stay informed and respond promptly while the older adult maintains independence. The system is designed for simple DIY installation, blending unobtrusively into the home environment. By eliminating visual recording and requiring no on‑body devices, Silvie balances safety monitoring with respect for personal privacy.
