Helpany is announcing it has received the Innovation of the Year award from LeadingAge Arizona, recognizing its impact on fall prevention and resident safety in senior living communities.
This award honors an organization that has created an innovative program or service on their campus — and Helpany’s AI and radar-based solution, Paul, has proven to be just that. By analyzing residents’ unique motion patterns and notifying caregivers in real time when a resident gets up, Paul acts as a 24/7 virtual assistant.
Helpany supports caregivers by sensing human motion 24/7 and generating reports that detect subtle changes in residents’ mobility—often before the residents themselves are aware, according to a press release.
These insights allow staff to engage proactively and address issues early. Real-time preventive alerts further enhance safety, notifying caregivers the moment a resident starts to move, especially during nighttime hours. With remote monitoring, caregivers can monitor resident presence and activity across units, increasing efficiency, the release states.
“We are deeply honored by this recognition,” said Sandro Cilurzo, co-founder and CEO of Helpany.
“We’re especially proud of the significant reduction in falls achieved in senior living communities—an accomplishment made possible by the dedication and care of frontline caregivers. This award affirms our mission, but above all, it reinforces our commitment to support caregivers and residents with technology that fosters safety, respects dignity, and empowers proactive, compassionate care.”
