“I can’t reach dad; not sure he is home.”

“Did the PSW arrive today?”

“I hope mom is moving around OK after surgery.”

“Can dad get help if he needs it?”

Unfortunately, these questions lead many family caregivers to choose between caring for a loved one and paid work.
Chirp helps caregivers remotely monitor aging adults. Chirp's AI algorithms continuously monitor sleep patterns, walking speeds, sedentary behaviors, visitors and more. Specific events, such as calls for help, are detected, and caregivers are alerted.

Chirp is getting an upgrade! Speakers are being added to the Chirp sensor to support 2-way calling between app and device. Paired with the ability for the sensor to detect someone calling "help", communicating with a remote care recipient has never been easier.

Are you a caregiver interested in knowing your loved one had a visitor, without compromising their privacy? Chirp is using privacy preserving sensors such as radar & thermal to track occupancy in the home, which can help identify social isolation or know the PSW has arrived.

22/07/2020

How do you reassure a caregiver who wants to know that mom made it safely to bed... without waking her to check? We programmed Chirp’s prototype ambient sensor device, which we are building to detect emergencies such as falls, to send alerts and provide a report on how she slept that night.

Was a great event and congratulations to all finalists!
