Inspiren, a leader in AI-based solutions redefining senior living, recently announced the addition of its emergency call system, which makes it the market’s first and only senior living ecosystem to integrate care planning, resident safety, staff efficiency, and emergency call into one seamless solution. This follows Inspiren’s $35 million Series A funding led by Avenir with participation from Primary Venture Partners, Story Ventures, Third Prime, and Studio VC. The funding will support the growth of Inspiren’s clinical consulting and internal teams and further scale its senior living ecosystem.
By 2030, over 70 million baby boomers will be 65 or older, intensifying demand on senior care communities. And the senior living industry already faces significant challenges like inconsistent and limited care standards, rising healthcare costs and increasingly complex care needs. As 95% of baby boomers have at least one chronic condition, an influx of seniors entering care with higher acuity than ever before will only further strain the existing senior care infrastructure.
Launched by Michael Wang, a former Green Beret and cardiothoracic nurse, Inspiren addresses these issues with a complete and connected care ecosystem. Instead of focusing on one aspect of care, Inspiren combines care planning, staff optimization, emergency response, and resident safety into one platform, alongside dedicated clinical support. And Inspiren’s clinicians use data insights to recommend care plan adjustments.
By providing senior living communities with data insights, Inspiren has helped prevent up to 30% of missed revenue due to inaccurate care levels, ensuring fair and transparent billing while improving care outcomes. And one case study showed an 83% reduction in 911 calls due to falls, highlighting how AI-based resident safety can prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
The newest innovation to complete Inspiren’s ecosystem is AUGi Call, the industry’s first emergency call system with live video triage, visual context, and two-way voice capabilities. AUGi Call data, combined with insights from the entire ecosystem, offers a comprehensive view into community-wide care utilization and delivers data-driven insights to personalize care for each resident.
Each community is assigned a dedicated clinical specialist who becomes an integral part of the care team. And by utilizing ecosystem insights, Inspiren’s clinical team partners with communities to ensure care plans remain accurate, transparent and responsive to individual needs.
