What Sedimentum AG does

Sedimentum AG, operating commercially as Helpany through its US subsidiary Helpany Inc., is a Switzerland-incorporated (Cham) and Arizona-operated (Phoenix) private company founded in 2019 that builds radar-based AI motion monitoring hardware and software for the senior living market. The core product, PAUL, is a ceiling-mounted radar sensor that uses AI to analyze resident movement patterns including gait, posture, and stability to detect early fall risk, deliberately avoiding cameras and microphones to preserve resident privacy. The company has extended the platform into a four-component ecosystem: the PAUL sensor, the ePaul one-tap emergency call button, the Paul Junior Bluetooth caregiver beacon, and a Dashboard and App providing care delivery analytics, Guard Mode alerts for high-risk residents, and staff performance measurement.

The business model combines hardware unit sales of the PAUL device and accessories with recurring annual subscription software/services revenue, with quote-based enterprise pricing scaled to community size and deployment scope. Customers are enterprise senior living accounts sold through a direct field sales motion supported by demo booking, phone outreach, and a network of state-level industry association partnerships (Leading Age Arizona, Arizona Health Care Association, Arizona ALFA) plus a GPO distribution relationship with Alliance Purchasing Network. The company claims deployments of thousands of devices across Arizona-based senior living operators including Glencroft, Phoenix Senior Living, Park Senior Villas, Fellowship Square, Westminster Village, and others, and cites a 72% reduction in falls as its headline customer outcome.

Sedimentum AG has raised approximately $8.2M in disclosed funding across rounds in 2020, 2021 (twice), and April 2022, with the largest round led by SICTIC and earlier participation from Alternative Bank Switzerland. Leadership comprises co-founder and CEO Sandro Cilurzo, COO Eugenie Nicoud, and CTO Arthur Habicht. Operating geographies are presently concentrated in Arizona, with signals of intent to expand nationally via the Leading Age 2026 conference and broader GPO channel partnerships.

Direct peers

• Vayyar Care: Vayyar Care produces radar-based, camera-free fall detection and elderly monitoring devices for senior living and home use, making it the closest direct technology and use-case competitor to Helpany's PAUL.
• SafelyYou: SafelyYou offers AI-powered fall detection and prevention for senior living communities, primarily using in-room cameras and audio. Competes for the same assisted-living fall-prevention budget as Helpany but with a different sensing modality.
• CarePredict: CarePredict provides wearable-based activity and behavior analytics for senior living residents, tracking ADLs and fall risk. Competes for the same care-quality and fall-prevention use cases as PAUL using a wearable rather than radar approach.
• EchoCare: EchoCare develops non-wearable, radio-frequency-based elderly monitoring including fall detection, focused on senior care. Highly comparable in its use of RF/radar-type sensing instead of cameras.

Emerging players

• Cherry Home (Cherry Labs): Cherry Home offers AI-based fall detection and elderly monitoring using ambient sensors and vision in the home. Targets the same aging-in-place and senior-safety use cases as Helpany with a different technology stack.
• Aiva Health: Aiva Health provides voice-first, in-room caregiver and resident communication platforms for senior living and home care. Adjacent in the care-quality and resident-monitoring space where Helpany's Dashboard and ePaul compete.
• Origin Wireless: Origin Wireless uses Wi-Fi-signal sensing for motion, presence and fall detection in smart home and elderly care settings. Competes with Helpany on the same 'no camera/no wearable' value proposition using a different underlying physical layer.

Broad incumbents

• Stanley Healthcare (Securitas Healthcare): Stanley Healthcare/Securitas Healthcare is a large incumbent providing wander management, resident safety, fall alarms and RTLS-based location services to senior living. Competes for the same fall-prevention and elopement budget with a broader, mostly wearable-based portfolio.
• Tunstall Healthcare: Tunstall is a long-standing PERS and telecare incumbent offering medical alert, fall detection and connected-care services to seniors at home and in care settings. Competes for fall-detection and emergency-response budgets alongside Helpany's ePaul.
• Caregility: Caregility provides telehealth, virtual nursing and clinical surveillance (including AI-based fall detection) for hospitals and senior living. Overlaps with Helpany on fall prevention and care-delivery analytics in senior living environments.
