A companion that grows to know your parent.

Helping your parent feel understood—and your family feel reassured.

Why Lumina exists

Aging in place brings freedom—but it can also create distance.

Families want to know their loved ones are doing well without constant check-ins.

Older adults want to remain independent without feeling alone.

Lumina: Getting to Know Your Parent

You call. They say, “I'm fine.”
But how do you really know?

You don't know if they are...

  • Feeling lonely
  • Becoming less active
  • Struggling with their routine
  • Simply having a difficult day

Lumina stays with them throughout the day — talking, listening and noticing changes in their everyday patterns.

To truly understand and care for your loved ones, Lumina is built as a complete system. Today, the core of Lumina (MVP) — AI Platform, Hub, Wearable, and Caregiver App — is real, working, and in the hands of early pilot families in Ottawa. What comes next is a fully connected, privacy-first ecosystem designed to help older adults live independently, safely, and connected to their families.

What Lumina Can Do Today

MVP Features

For Seniors — Lumina Hub

AI Voice Conversation

Talk, listen, remember, and stay engaged.

Lumina provides natural voice conversations through a simple Tap-to-Talk avatar in English or French. The AI companion remembers personal preferences, family members, interests, routines, and important life moments to make conversations increasingly personal and meaningful.

Activity & Daily Routine

Gentle support for healthier everyday living.

Lumina tracks activity and daily routines and can encourage movement, hydration, healthy sleep habits, social interaction, and other personalized wellness activities based on the senior's normal routine.

Wellness & Health Insights

Understand everyday well-being, not just numbers.

Lumina brings together activity, sleep, conversations, heart rate, and SpO₂ data to help seniors and families understand everyday wellness.

Personalized trend analysis and AI insights help identify meaningful changes in the senior's normal patterns and turn health data into information families can understand and act on.

Smart Medication Reminder

The right reminder, at the right time.

Lumina provides spoken reminders for medications, with simple voice or tap confirmation. Caregivers can manage schedules remotely and receive notifications when reminders are missed.

Family Video Calling

Family is always just one tap away.

Seniors can tap a single button on the Lumina Hub to immediately start a video call with their designated caregiver.

No complicated menus. No searching for contacts. Just one tap to connect.

Photo Talk

Don't just look at family photos — talk about them.

When a caregiver shares a photo, Lumina can use AI vision to describe what is happening in the photo and naturally begin a conversation with the senior about the people, places, and memories it evokes.

Meaningful conversations from Photo Talk can become part of the senior's daily diary and memory record, helping preserve family stories and moments.

Personal Diary & Life Story

Turn everyday moments into lasting memories.

Lumina brings together meaningful conversations, Photo Talk interactions, medication confirmations, and other daily activities into a warm “My Day” journal.

Over time, important life stories and memories can be transformed into a growing Life Story of readable narrative chapters for seniors and their families.

Emergency SOS

Help is always one tap away.

A simple “Get Help” button allows seniors to quickly send a high-priority emergency notification to designated caregivers when help is needed.

Lumina Hub Status at a Glance

Important information, always visible.

The Lumina Hub provides a simple top-bar status display showing essential information such as:

  • Time and date
  • Weather
  • Wearable battery level
  • Wi-Fi connection status
  • Lumina Hub battery level

This gives seniors an immediate view of the information they need without navigating through menus.

MVP Features

For Families & Caregivers — Caregiver App

Caregiver App

Know how your loved one is doing — at a glance.

The Caregiver App brings health information, activity, sleep, medications, conversations, family interactions, alerts, and recent events into one simple dashboard.

Instead of checking multiple systems, caregivers can quickly understand what is happening today and what has changed.

Intelligent Safety Alerts

Know when something needs your attention.

Lumina can notify caregivers about important events such as abnormal vital signs, low SpO₂, unusual heart-rate changes, missed medications, or SOS activations.

AI Wellness & Change Detection

Look beyond the numbers.

Lumina learns the senior's normal patterns and can identify meaningful changes in areas such as:

  • Sleep
  • Activity
  • Conversations
  • Social engagement
  • Mood and well-being
  • Heart rate
  • SpO₂

Rather than simply displaying data, Lumina helps caregivers understand what has changed and what may deserve attention.

Mood & Well-being

Stay aware of changes that may be easy to miss.

By observing everyday conversations, activity, routines, and social engagement, Lumina can identify potential changes in emotional well-being — such as reduced interaction, unusual behavior, or possible signs of loneliness or frustration — and help keep caregivers informed.

Medication Management

More than a reminder.

Caregivers can remotely manage medication schedules, review confirmation history, receive notifications for missed medications, and configure reminder and escalation settings.

Family Engagement

Keep the whole family involved.

Caregivers can upload, organize, and share family photos with the senior, and help maintain meaningful connections between the senior and the people they love.

Memoir Reader

Preserve the stories that matter.

Caregivers can read newly created life-story chapters generated from meaningful conversations and interactions, helping families preserve and revisit important memories.

Remote Caregiver Controls

Support from anywhere.

Caregivers can remotely configure medication schedules, quiet hours, conversation settings, vital alert thresholds, and other personalized Lumina preferences.

What's Coming Next

Lumina is continuing to evolve based on real-world use, pilot feedback, and the needs of seniors and their families.

Fall Prevention & Detection

Helping seniors stay safer and more independent.

Lumina's next-generation fall safety capability is being developed using a combination of motion sensing and environmental sensing technologies to help identify potential falls and changes in movement patterns.

The underlying hardware platform has already been developed, while the software and detection algorithms are currently being refined and validated. Our goal is to provide reliable fall detection and prevention support before making this capability available for customer deployment.

Smarter Home Safety & Convenience

Making the home easier and more comfortable to live in.

Lumina is being expanded to support a growing range of connected smart-home and wellness devices — from smart lighting and appliances to health and home-monitoring devices.

Early integrations, including smart plugs and smart body-composition scales, are already being explored and tested within the Lumina platform. These capabilities are not yet part of the pilot-ready release, as we continue improving hardware compatibility, software stability, and overall user experience.

More smart-home capabilities will become available as they are ready for reliable customer use.

Continuous Improvement from Pilot Feedback

Built with families, improved through real-world experience.

The pilot program is an important part of Lumina's product development. We will use feedback and real-world experience from pilot customers to improve existing MVP features, enhance usability and reliability, and prioritize new capabilities that address genuine needs identified by seniors, caregivers, and families.
