What Helpany does

Helpany, Inc. is a Phoenix, Arizona-based company — wholly owned by Swiss parent Sedimentum AG — that sells an AI-driven radar motion-monitoring platform for fall prevention and care-quality management in US senior living communities. Its flagship product is PAUL, a ceiling-mounted 60 GHz radar sensor (no cameras, no microphones) that continuously analyzes movement patterns to identify at-risk residents, send preventive alerts, and quantify care delivery. The platform is sold as a hybrid hardware-plus-subscription bundle to senior living operators, typically scaled by apartment type (1–3 PAUL units per unit), and has been deployed across Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, and Continuing Care Retirement Community settings.

The product surface extends beyond PAUL into ePaul (a one-tap emergency-call pendant integrated into the PAUL ecosystem), Paul Junior (a Bluetooth caregiver beacon for staff-time analytics), the Helpany Dashboard/App (caregiver, resident, and family interfaces plus the 'Health is Wealth' weekly reports), Care Delivery Analysis (an operational module that flags missed or delayed care against documented care plans), and the PAUL Program membership for Independent Living residents. The radar device is FCC-certified, the platform operates under HIPAA with a Business Associate Agreement, and cloud infrastructure is run by Sedimentum AG in Switzerland.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting executive directors and operations leaders at senior living communities, with demo-driven conversion via the website, customer case-study marketing, and channel partnerships with Arizona state associations (LeadingAge Arizona, AZHCA, AZ ALFA) and group-purchasing organizations (Alliance Purchasing Network). Reported customer outcomes include up to 72% reduction in falls, zero nighttime falls at top performers, 21% more caregiver time, and up to $108K–$200K of annual value per community. The company is expanding from its Arizona base into Pennsylvania and has won multiple McKnight's Excellence in Technology Awards (2025) and LeadingAge Arizona Innovation of the Year (2025).

Direct peers

• VirtuSense Technologies: Provides AI-based fall risk assessment and prediction tools (e.g., VSTBalance) used in senior living and post-acute care to identify residents at elevated fall risk. Directly comparable on the predictive fall-prevention value proposition, though delivered via balance-assessment sensors rather than in-room radar.
• CarePredict: AI-driven activity and behavioral monitoring platform for older adults, sold into senior living and aging-in-place settings. Directly comparable to Helpany in continuous-monitoring AI, predictive health insights, and senior living customer base, though CarePredict is wearable-based rather than radar-based.
• Vayyar Care: Radar-based (RF) fall detection and presence-sensing solution for senior care, using the same 60 GHz millimeter-wave technology category as Helpany's PAUL. Closest direct technical analog and a key radar-based competitor targeting elderly fall prevention in residential and senior living settings.
• SafelyYou: AI-powered fall detection and prevention platform purpose-built for senior living and memory care communities. Directly comparable to Helpany in customer base (Assisted Living, Memory Care), use case (fall prevention), and AI-on-sensor approach, though SafelyYou leans on camera-based AI rather than radar.

Broad incumbents

• Securitas Healthcare (formerly Stanley Healthcare): Established enterprise platform offering wander management, resident safety, and RTLS-based monitoring for senior living and hospitals. Comparable as a senior-living safety/monitoring vendor, but much broader portfolio and incumbency make it the category leader Helpany must displace in large enterprise deals.
• Status Solutions (Talius): Sensor-based mass notification, situational awareness, and resident monitoring platform deployed across senior living and healthcare facilities. Comparable as a senior-living safety/monitoring incumbent with broader facility-wide scope than Helpany's radar-only focus.

Emerging players

• Aiva Health: Voice-first care platform for senior living communities enabling hands-free caregiver communication, resident requests, and documentation. Adjacent to Helpany in senior-living operator stack and proactive care workflows, but voice-first rather than radar/AI sensing.
• Bay Alarm Medical: Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) provider offering medical alert devices, fall detection pendants, and in-home monitoring. Comparable as a PERS/fall-detection vendor for elderly users, but consumer-direct and home-based rather than facility-deployed like Helpany's PAUL/ePaul ecosystem.
