About Norbert

In the future, our health will be monitored continuously by ambient sensors in our homes, that will detect and monitor nearly invisible trends or changes in our habits and vital signs, and detect health medical problems such as infections, or deterioration in chronic conditions, before the first perceptible symptom even occurs.

Norbert Health has built the first AI health hub that makes this future a reality. Our device is a sleek, plug-and-play, consumer grade AI powered hub that performs (almost all) the work of a full time nurse, wherever patients are. It can:

• take vital signs without contact in 15 seconds - temperature, cardiac activity, breathing rate, and blood pressure
• run mobility, cognitive, mental health assessments thanks to its onboard conversational and visual AI
• perform medication reminders, or answer questions about the health of a patient
• Incentivize people and patients to stick by their medical schedule and program, and keep healthy habits

Norbert Health is the first true multimodal, ambient sensing platform to train a fully multimodal, behavioral and medical AI for day to day healthcare. Norbert will make your health as addictive as your instagram feed. For a better outcome!

Today, we are focused on improving the lives of elders, in nursing homes and at home. Our devices are about to be widely deployed in the US and in other parts of the world. We are building software, hardware, AI that will revolutionize elder care in the short term, and healthcare in the long term.
