DwellSafe

What DwellSafe does

DwellSafe is a US-based health technology company (legally PREV.AI LLC, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina) that delivers clinician-reviewed home safety assessments entirely remotely using a smartphone-based scanning platform. Users capture rooms via the DwellSafe mobile app, answer health questions, and receive personalized, condition-specific fall-prevention reports from a licensed clinician whose expertise matches the resident's health profile (e.g., OT specialists for stroke recovery, dementia care specialists for cognitive conditions). The underlying stack combines AI computer vision for hazard detection, a multimodal recommendation engine, generative AI for report authoring, and a precision clinician-matching algorithm; the platform is built on AWS serverless infrastructure (Amplify, AppSync/GraphQL, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3) and integrates with EHR systems for healthcare-provider workflows.

The company monetizes across three D2C tiers (HomeScan Basic at $125 one-time, HomeScan + Expert Consult at $199 one-time, and the Adaptive subscription at $125/month billed annually with three scans and consults) and through B2B partnerships with hospitals, primary care clinics, value-based care organizations, community nonprofits, and a national retail channel via Lowe's. Named institutional partners include One Health (primary care, Charlotte NC), Rebuilding Together, the National Council on Aging (grants enabling EMS-responder assessments in North Carolina), and Duke University School of Medicine (MOU signed February 2026 for low-vision home safety research). The company is seed-funded, founded in 2023 by physicians Dr. James Taylor (CEO) and Jonathan Hills (President), won the 2024 NCBiotech Venture Challenge, and completed a full commercial platform launch in September 2025.

Direct peers

• VGM Live at Home: VGM Live at Home operates one of the largest national networks of home accessibility providers and vendors, offering home safety assessments and modification services. It is the most direct competitor to DwellSafe's clinician-led home safety offering; notably, DwellSafe's own strategic advisor Jim Greatorex is a former VGM VP.
• Rebuilding Together: Rebuilding Together is a national nonprofit providing home repairs, safety modifications, and aging-in-place support to low-income homeowners and veterans. They are both a DwellSafe channel partner and a directly comparable operator in the home safety/modification space.

Broad incumbents

• Medical Guardian: Medical Guardian is one of the largest U.S. providers of Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) and fall detection devices for seniors. It represents the established incumbent in the elderly fall-prevention category and competes for the same end customer.
• Home Instead Senior Care: Home Instead is a large franchised network providing in-home personal care, companionship, and aging-in-place support for older adults. While it focuses on caregiver services rather than technology-led assessment, it addresses overlapping needs of the same families and healthcare referrers.
• Philips Lifeline: Philips Lifeline is the long-standing market leader in medical alert and PERS services, with national scale, brand recognition, and healthcare channel relationships. It is the broad incumbent competing for fall-prevention wallet share alongside DwellSafe.
• Honor Technology: Honor Technology is a tech-enabled home care network combining a software platform with professional caregiver workforce. It is comparable to DwellSafe in bringing technology and clinical rigor to in-home aging support, though it focuses on caregiver delivery rather than environmental assessment.

Emerging players

• Aloe Care Health: Aloe Care Health offers an AI-powered elder care platform combining smart sensors, voice-activated emergency response, and a caregiver dashboard. It overlaps with DwellSafe in elderly fall prevention and remote monitoring, though its hardware-centric approach differs from DwellSafe's clinician-assessment model.
• CarePredict: CarePredict is an AI-powered wearable and analytics platform for senior health monitoring and early warning of health changes. It targets the same aging-in-place and family-caregiver segments as DwellSafe but focuses on continuous behavioral monitoring rather than episodic home safety assessments.

Others

• Safe Home Aging (National Council on Aging partners): NCOA and its grantees (including EMS-based fall prevention programs in North Carolina) are ecosystem partners and adjacent service providers in falls prevention. They shape the funding and policy environment for DwellSafe's community-organization channel.
• Lowe's (home safety installation services): Lowe's is both a DwellSafe channel partner (via lowes.dwellsafe.ai) and an adjacent provider of home safety installation services and accessibility products. As a retail giant, it shapes the consumer funnel and the contractor marketplace that DwellSafe depends on for downstream modifications.
