New Product Launch: AVA Mobility for iPAD

About the Product: AVA is an AI-powered app for routine fall risk assessment. No external hardware, no stored videos - just fast, reliable insights to support safer aging at home! ForesightCares presents AVA, an AI-driven video-based mobile application designed for non-invasive, real-time fall risk assessment of older adults. AVA leverages advanced AI models to analyze mobility patterns using only iPads' built-in cameras, eliminating the need for wearable sensors or video storage. Designed for caregivers, family members, and staff in Independent Living communities, AVA offers a fast, five-minute assessment that ensures full privacy by performing all processing on-device. Its user-friendly interface, affordability, and broad device compatibility make it an essential tool for proactive fall risk evaluation. While AVA does not replace professional medical assessments, it empowers caregivers with objective insights to support safer aging. Source: AVA…

Past Webinar – Progress in Personalizing Content and Dosing of a Physical Activity Promotion Intervention, David E. Conroy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzI9xjFMRsg Abstract: The Michigan Roybal Center aims to develop physical activity interventions for middle-age and older adults that engage validated mechanisms for adhering to behavior change following the end of active intervention support. This talk will review our ongoing work (a) to develop person-specific dosing algorithms to select the content and timing of text messages and (b) to engineer prompts for generative artificial intelligence systems to author message content that activates affective motivational processes to promote physical activity. The long-term objective of fusing these personalization strategies is to improve adherence to behavior change and reduce risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Biography: David Conroy, PhD, Professor and the Bickner Chair in Kinesiology at the University of Michigan Dr. Conroy is a Professor and the Bickner Chair in Kinesiology at the University of Michigan where he…

Funding: $4.5M seed round raised

Seed round raised from existing investors (True Ventures, BKR Capital, Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation, Health2047 and others) - $4.5M to date. Securing of MassAITC pilot funding helped in due diligence with investors for their seed round, and thus was critical to closing their funding including with Health2047, venture arm of the American Medical Association and with other early stage investors.

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…
