Norbert Health

What Norbert Health does

Norbert Health, Inc. is a Brooklyn-based healthcare AI robotics company founded in 2019 that is developing Norbert, an autonomous care management platform for nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. The platform combines multimodal AI—fusing vision, voice, and sensor data—into a robot-agnostic module that autonomously conducts patient rounds, captures contactless vital signs (pulse and respiratory rate), performs cognitive and mobility assessments via vocal biomarkers and computer vision, logs gait anomalies, and generates structured clinical notes that integrate with EMR systems. Deployment options include a mobile robot on a stand for room-to-room rounding and a tabletop tripod variant for bedside or nurse-station use, with the company describing installation as completable in a day and requiring no additional staff or workflow redesign.

The company sells through an enterprise direct sales motion targeting long-term care and post-acute care operators, with demo requests initiated via email. The revenue model is subscription-based on an annual cadence, likely combining hardware deployment with recurring software, EMR integration, and support services, though no public pricing has been disclosed. Customer segments are nursing homes and assisted living facilities (primary) and rehabilitation facilities (primary), with the product positioned to address nursing staff shortages, documentation burden, and the need for continuous contactless monitoring. The product is currently designated an investigational device limited by U.S. federal law to investigational use pending FDA clearance, which constrains commercial scaling. HIPAA-ready systems and EMR integration are positioned as enterprise prerequisites.

Norbert is led by co-founder and CEO/CTO Alex Winter, PhD (3x AI founder, 2 exits), CFO Pauline Sauvage, VP Operations John Backer (hardware veteran), Senior Commercial lead Ahmad Gaber, R&D Lead Duncan Tourolle, PhD (7 patents in PPG and vital-sign AI), VP Engineering Simon Brunet (medical device veteran), Head of Product and Design Anna Oh, and Head of Implementation and Customer Success Zach Hunt. Clinical credibility is anchored by founding investor Dr. Sebastien Beley of the American Hospital of Paris, and the company operates out of Brooklyn, Paris, and Montreal. To date, Norbert Health has raised approximately $8 million across two funding rounds (December 2019 led by LDV Capital and June 2021 co-led by HCVC and Serena), with investors including EXOR N.V., C4 Ventures, Newlab, and The Hardware Club.

Core offering

Norbert Health develops "Norbert," an autonomous AI-powered care manager that combines a multimodal AI software module with mobile robotic hardware to perform contactless patient monitoring in nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. The system plans rounding schedules, captures pulse rate, respiratory rate, gait, cognitive health indicators, and environmental context without wearable devices, and automatically generates structured EMR notes, alerts, and task assignments for care staff. The platform is sold as an integrated hardware/software subscription deployed on mobile stands or tabletop tripods.

Product overview

Norbert Health offers Norbert, a multimodal AI-powered autonomous care manager platform designed for healthcare settings including nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. The system consists of three integrated AI modules: (1) the Sensing Module for contactless vital signs capture, vocal biomarker analysis, and environmental monitoring; (2) the Understanding Module for patient context memory, cognitive awareness, and personalization; and (3) the Action Module for automated task routing, alerts, and clinical documentation. Norbert deploys on mobile robot hardware with tabletop option, operates alongside human caregivers, and integrates with EMR systems for clinical workflow automation.

Direct peers

• Vayyar Care: Vayyar Care provides contactless, radar-based fall detection and vital-sign monitoring for senior living and home care. It is a direct competitor to Norbert's contactless vitals and activity monitoring value proposition in the same elderly care customer segment.
• CarePredict: CarePredict offers continuous health monitoring and behavioral analytics for seniors using a wearable device, serving assisted living and senior living operators. It is directly comparable to Norbert in targeting the same nursing home/assisted living segment with continuous activity and health monitoring.
• VirtuSense Technologies: VirtuSense provides AI-powered patient monitoring and fall prediction for senior living and post-acute care using depth sensors and computer vision. It competes directly with Norbert in contactless patient monitoring and gait/mobility assessment within care facilities.
• Somatix: Somatix provides contactless, sensor-based remote monitoring for senior care facilities using gesture detection technology. It is a direct competitor in contactless activity and health monitoring for elderly populations in institutional settings.

Emerging players

• Catalia Health: Catalia Health develops the Mabu health companion robot for chronic disease patient engagement. While more patient-facing than Norbert, both companies combine a robotic platform with AI-driven health engagement in care settings.
• Aiva Health: Aiva Health offers a voice-first care platform for senior living communities, enabling hands-free resident requests and caregiver coordination. It overlaps with Norbert's voice-driven, AI-mediated senior care engagement layer.
• Origin Wireless: Origin Wireless applies AI to wireless signal sensing for motion, presence, and vital sign detection in homes and facilities. Its contactless sensing technology overlaps with Norbert's approach to passive patient monitoring without wearables.

Broad incumbents

• Diligent Robotics: Diligent Robotics builds the Moxi hospital service robot used in acute care hospitals for delivery and logistical support. It represents a broader healthcare robotics incumbent whose expansion into monitoring workflows could overlap with Norbert's positioning.
• Stanley Healthcare (Securitas Healthcare): Securitas Healthcare (formerly Stanley Healthcare) provides senior living safety and resident monitoring solutions including wander management and call systems. It is a large incumbent serving the same nursing home customer base that Norbert targets.
• Biofourmis: Biofourmis provides AI-driven remote patient monitoring and virtual care management for chronic and post-acute conditions. While more software-centric and home-focused than Norbert, it competes in the broader RPM and virtual care management category.
