We built it from inside a care home

Ascenix builds incident intelligence for senior care. We started from one idea: one of the biggest ways to improve quality of life for older adults, and to secure a brighter future for them, is infrastructure. The systems around a resident decide how well they live.

A year and a half on the floor

Rishi, left, and Ayaan, right, co-founders, at the retirement home they lived in.

Rishi and Ayaan lived in a retirement home for a year and a half and saw it firsthand: the infrastructure around a resident, the charting, the handovers, the reports, the systems that decide whether a pattern is noticed in time, dictates how good their life is. So they set out to improve it.

They had been building for this industry for years before Ascenix, hardware first: temperature wristbands and fall detection sensors, worn and installed in the homes themselves. The more they built, the clearer the size of the problem became, and they committed themselves to it fully.

Ascenix is that commitment. The data to prevent the next fall already exists inside every home. Our work is turning it into decisions a care team can act on today, without asking anyone to chart one more thing.
