Quietly watching. Actively caring.
AI-powered health monitoring for elders who want independence—and for families who stay connected.
Lares Care watches for small changes in daily patterns so families don't have to. When something looks off, Lares nudges, checks in, and keeps everyone in the loop—without turning home into a hospital.
Designed for aging in place. Built on Apple Health and connected devices, with early-warning insights and gentle, human check-ins.
At a glance
- Elders keep their independence and routines.
- Families get timely insight instead of guesswork.
- Subtle trends trigger checks before they become crises.
Pilot first, then full launch.
Pilot Lares with real Bay Area seniors — and shape how it works.
We're starting with a small group of independent seniors in the Bay Area — including Rossmoor. These first families aren't just users; they help decide what "useful" looks like, and how Lares should show up day to day.
What the pilot includes
- Setup and onboarding with Apple Watch or iPhone.
- Regular summaries sent to you and your family.
- Early signals when patterns change or risk increases.
What it doesn't replace
- No emergency response or 911 replacement.
- No medical advice; we encourage you to talk to your doctor.
- No cameras in the living room or constant surveillance.
Who we're looking for
- Independent seniors living in the Bay Area.
- Families who are starting to worry a bit about falls, slowing down, or subtle changes.
- People willing to share practical feedback on what works and what doesn't.
The problem
Aging in place shouldn't mean guessing about safety.
Aging in place feels isolating
Days blur together. It's easy for loneliness, low mood, or reduced activity to build up quietly.
Small health changes go unnoticed
Slower walks, restless sleep, skipped meals—each looks minor on its own but can signal real risk over time.
Families worry without insight
Check-in calls help, but they're snapshots. Without data, families are guessing whether things are truly ok.
How it works
Lares quietly watches patterns, then steps in when it matters.
Syncs with Apple Health & devices
- Connects to Apple Watch, iPhone, and compatible devices.
- Tracks movement, activity, sleep, and other key signals.
Detects unusual patterns via AI
- Learns what "normal" looks like for each person.
- Spots meaningful changes in activity, steadiness, or routines.
Sends alerts & voice check-ins
- Sends clear, simple alerts to family when something looks off.
- Can trigger a gentle voice check-in to confirm how things are going.

Testimonials

FAQ
Who is this pilot for?
Independent seniors living in the Bay Area who want to stay in control, and families who want clearer insight into day-to-day patterns without constant check-ins or devices everywhere.
What devices do we need?
Lares works with iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple Health–connected devices such as scales and blood pressure cuffs.

We focus on trends, not minute-by-minute tracking. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we share only what families need to understand changes.
Is this a medical or emergency service?
Lares is not an emergency response or diagnostic service. It's an early-warning and peace-of-mind layer that helps families act sooner and communicate better with clinicians.
