VirtuSense

What VirtuSense does

VirtuSense Technologies is a privately held healthcare AI company founded in 2013 in Peoria, Illinois by Deepak Gaddipati. The company develops spatial artificial intelligence solutions that use LIDAR sensors combined with machine learning and computer vision to predict and prevent patient falls across the continuum of care, serving hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), senior living communities, continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), and Veterans Affairs facilities. Its core thesis is that reactive fall monitoring is inadequate, and that privacy-preserving sensors can deliver 30–65 seconds of advance warning before a fall event.

The product portfolio comprises three integrated platforms. VSTBalance, launched in 2014, uses machine vision to conduct evidence-based fall-risk assessments and track population-level mobility trends. VSTAlert, expanded to senior living in 2022, deploys LIDAR sensors and habit-learning algorithms to detect bed and chair exits 30–65 seconds in advance and reduce resident falls by up to 96%. VSTOne is a single-device acute-care platform that combines autonomous fall prevention, pressure injury prevention, virtual nursing with ambient listening, wireless vitals monitoring, and Epic MyChart EHR integration, claiming 99.99% monitoring accuracy. The platform is HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

VirtuSense operates an enterprise SaaS model with Named Authorized User licensing, subscription billing, and usage-based fees for its VSTConnect video conferencing module. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to hospital systems and senior living operators, with no apparent reseller or distribution channel. Customers include UNC Health, Cleveland Clinic, NYU Langone Health, Northwell Health, Emory Healthcare, Prime Healthcare, Franciscan Health, Mercy Health, ThedaCare, Carle Health, United Methodist Communities, and others. Marketing combines content, podcasting (Making Healthcare), and earned media including Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (2024), Fast Company recognition, and Forbes Technology Council membership for the founder.

Core offering

VirtuSense develops and sells an integrated AI-powered healthcare software and sensor platform for fall prevention and patient monitoring. Its products — VSTOne for acute hospital care, VSTAlert for predictive fall detection in senior living and skilled nursing, and VSTBalance for fall risk assessment — use spatial artificial intelligence with LIDAR sensors and machine vision to autonomously monitor patients, predict falls 30-65 seconds in advance, and integrate with hospital EHR systems like Epic MyChart.

Product overview

VirtuSense offers an integrated ecosystem of AI-powered healthcare solutions centered around fall prevention and patient monitoring. The portfolio consists of three core products: VSTOne (acute care hospital platform), VSTAlert (predictive fall detection for senior living and skilled nursing), and VSTBalance (fall-risk assessment system). VSTOne serves as the hospital room platform combining autonomous monitoring, virtual nursing, and EHR integration. VSTAlert provides 24/7 in-room fall monitoring using LIDAR sensors with 30-65 second predictive alerting. VSTBalance delivers evidence-based fall-risk assessments with population health analytics. Together, these products enable proactive healthcare delivery across the continuum of care from acute hospitals to senior living communities.
