I work on privacy-first behavioral intelligence for aging in place, helping families care for their parents without cameras, cloud, or the surveillance economy.

Aging in Place

A longtime passion for smart homes turned personal when two family members were diagnosed with Parkinson's. That's what prompted Sigma Age.

We watch patterns, not people.

Sigma Age

Privacy-first behavioral intelligence for aging in place. Edge AI running locally: no cameras, no microphones, no wearables. Simple motion and contact sensors learn a home's daily routines and give families a plain-language picture of how a parent's week actually looks, so small changes get noticed early.

The morning digest, as families receive it
Tuesday, 7:42 AM

Mom's morning started at the usual time. Kitchen activity 6:50 to 7:30. Front door opened once at 11:15, most likely the mail. Evening wound down around 9:40. A normal day.

Sigma Age
Thursday, 7:40 AM

Later start than usual: first movement at 9:10 against a typical 7:00. The rest of the day looked ordinary. Worth a call, no rush.

Sigma Age
Sunday, 7:45 AM

Quiet house until 12:30. That matches the last three Sundays. Nothing to note.

Sigma Age
Wednesday, 7:41 AM

Three trips down the hall overnight, up from a typical one. Two nights in a row now. Might be worth asking her about.

Sigma Age
Friday, 7:43 AM

Back door opened at 4:15 and again at 6:50. Garden hours. Thermostat at 71. House comfortable.

Sigma Age
Monday, 7:40 AM

No kitchen activity before noon. Unusual for a weekday. Worth a call this morning.

What I'm
working through.

i.

Build for the next regulation, not the last one.

The privacy laws coming for this industry haven't been written yet. Architectures designed around current compliance will be technical debt by 2028. The only durable bet is to build what regulators will eventually require, before they require it.

ii.

Privacy is the moat.

No cameras, no microphones, no cloud. The constraint isn't a limitation. It's the only architecture that will survive the next regulatory cycle and the trust collapse that comes with it.

iii.

Caregivers are the customer.

Every product in this space markets to the wrong person. The buyer is the adult child losing sleep, not the parent denying they need help. Reframe the entire funnel around that.

iv.

Patterns, not people.

The most useful signal isn't what someone did at 2:47 PM. It's whether today looks like the last thirty days. A change in routine shows up long before anyone would think to make a phone call, and it shows up in data no camera could give you.

"

The future of eldercare won't be won by the company with the most data. It will be won by the company you can trust with the data you can't take back.
