Company Launch: EC Safety Technologies LLC

About Founded in 2025, EC-Safety was born with a clear purpose: to transform geriatric care through technology designed with empathy, science, and real collaboration with those on the front lines of caregiving. From the beginning, we have worked hand in hand with experts in gerontology, clinical professionals, technologists, and elder care leaders to create a platform that not only digitizes processes but also eases the operational and emotional burden faced by caregivers. This mission has led us to collaborate with prestigious institutions such as the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where researchers use EC-Safety as a technological foundation in a pioneering project supported by the Massachusetts AI & Technology Center for Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease (MassAITC), focused on improving the lives of Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers through artificial intelligence. Our technology was not born in…

Past Webinar – Leveraging AI to Measure and Model Social Behavior, James M. Rehg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mXoTsgEd-I Abstract: Beginning in infancy, individuals acquire the social and communication skills that are vital for a healthy and productive life. Children with autism face great challenges in acquiring these skills, resulting in substantial lifetime risks. As the neural basis for ASD is unclear, the diagnosis, treatment, and study of autism depends fundamentally on the analysis of child behavior. Standard methods for behavioral observation and coding are the backbone of research studies but are inherently coarse-grained and not easily scalable. In this talk I will present our research agenda that uses AI models and computer vision technology to automate the measurement of social behavior from video. Our goal is to unlock the rich behavioral information that is present in video and make it available for large-scale data-driven modeling and assessment. I will present several recent…
