ABOUT US

Caregiver by Cognitive brings an ambient layer of awareness to the connected home, supporting people aging in place with greater safety, independence, and peace of mind.

Led by founders with deep expertise in silicon design, radio frequency technology, and Wi-Fi sensing, Cognitive Systems has built a leading patent portfolio in motion intelligence. Caregiver brings that foundation to the aging-in-place market as a practical, deployable solution, turning passive signals into meaningful insights about daily living patterns, including activity, sleep, and unexpected inactivity.

Built for real-world rollout, Caregiver supports both turnkey applications and API-based integrations. This enables in-home care organizations to move beyond traditional emergency response and toward proactive, insight-driven care.

The platform is easy to install, scales across large customer bases, and adapts to both informal and professional caregiving environments, helping providers stay connected and act with confidence, even when they cannot be physically present.
