About EchoCare
EchoCare was established to provide a robust solution for monitoring seniors in their home environment and to provide peace of mind to their families. Initially, fall detection was the key focus, but quickly, it became apparent the technology could provide both physiological and physical insights, from activities of daily living to respiratory readings.
The company leverages the tremendous advantages of RF technology, thanks to the vast data that can be obtained without the invasiveness of cameras or a 24/7 commitment to a wearable device, which may be worn incorrectly or forgotten altogether.
Rafi Zack, Founder and CEO, established EchoCare in
2015 to address the growing trends of Aging-at-Home and Home Hospitalization.
EchoCare Technologies was selected by Incubit Technologies Ventures and the Israeli Innovation Authority (IIA) incubation program to cultivate its monitoring device. Within its first year, EchoCare won 1st Prize at the Boston chapter of Aging2.0 and shortly thereafter, was chosen as a Top 10 Technology Company (out of 400 worldwide) for elderly care at the Ageing2.0 OPTIMIZE conference.
In 2017, EchoCare operated the first trial of its Echo prototype with a largest U.S. based operator. The following year, the company won 2nd Prize at Centrica’s Active Aging Challenge, and began 2019 by closing Round–A funding.
Today, EchoCare’s affordable system improves the quality-of-care of monitored individuals, enhances their at-home health and safety, as well as reduces the operational cost of caregiver operators and health insurance companies.
EchoCare Technologies developed an innovative solution for the Japanese bathroom environment to alert to drowning, falling and stroke incidents, which occur with relative frequency in this region.
