What Amulyte does

Growing old is part of life. Losing your independence shouldn't be. We believe in a world where seniors can keep their freedom and still feel safe. That's why we created Amulyte; a remote monitoring and activity tracking system for seniors. Amulyte is committed to providing the technology needed to help protect seniors from falls so they can continue to age at home. There are 55 million seniors in North America, a number that is only going to grow in the coming years. It is becoming increasingly important that seniors are able to continue living in their own homes as they age. Amulyte helps make that possible by using the latest technology to provide coverage anywhere - no more base station or being restricted to your home.

Remote monitoring and activity tracking for seniors

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a remote monitoring and activity tracking system designed specifically for seniors. Our product detects falls and tracks daily activity without restricting seniors to their home, unlike existing systems that rely on base stations. It uses wireless technology to provide coverage anywhere, helping seniors maintain independence while staying safe.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Mountain View, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Mountain View because it's our home and is in the heart of the tech ecosystem. Being here gives us access to resources, potential partners, and talent needed to build and grow Amulyte.
