SeniorAdom has recently completed a round of financing from Omnes Capital, 123Venture, SEB Alliance and AG2R LA MONDIALE.
Founded in November 2012, SeniorAdom offers new remote assistance technology. SeniorAdom’s next-generation technology automatically detects falls and sudden illness using a smart system of detectors (no cameras) connected to a central device. This central device is easy to install and use. It can simply be plugged into a power socket (no need for an internet connection because it has an embedded GSM mobile phone card). No special training is required.
In addition to falls and sudden illness, SeniorAdom’s solution can also report any unusual patterns in the life of a dependent person by sending a text or email to their carer. Each carer has a personalised and secure space from which they can monitor the well-being of the person living in their own home. SeniorAdom has genuinely disrupted the remote assistance space, which had barely advanced in 35 years. It provides comfort and peace of mind to both carers and service users.
After developing and testing its solution and its algorithms for two years in conjunction with in-home care professionals at the City of Paris authorities and the Long Life unit of Hôpital Charles Foix (Val-de-Marne department), SeniorAdom’s commercial launch took place in January 2015. The company has already signed up several hundred individuals in France. Strategic partnerships, some including unbranded systems, will be announced by the end of the year. In 2016, SeniorAdom aims to expand into the rest of Europe.
“Over the past three years, SeniorAdom has demonstrated that its solution is technically viable and is effective in the event of sudden illness,” says François-Xavier Dedde (pictured), Principal at Omnes Capital. “It has also been readily accepted by the dependent elderly in terms of its financial cost and its day-to-day use. Supporting SeniorAdom illustrates our strategy of investing in e-health and connected health, which are really taking off.”
