Sevah builds a companion and staff-reviewed workflow tooling for assisted living communities. We focus on keeping residents engaged and families connected between visits, and helping staff turn daily moments into shared updates without auto-posting.
These aren't values we put on a poster. They're the constraints we hold ourselves to when something is ambiguous.
A resident-facing device can use limited vision context without behaving like a surveillance camera. We minimize collection, avoid stored video, and design for care rather than monitoring theater.
Nothing auto-posts. Entries are drafted by AI and designed for licensed clinical review workflows. A nurse's license is theirs to keep.
Lab prototypes don't teach you anything about a nightstand that resonates at 200Hz. We deploy early, in real rooms, with consent, and let the room shape the product.
Embodied AI's first useful job isn't a delivery robot or a driverless taxi. It's the long quiet hours between visits, where attention is the scarce resource.
Sevah comes from the Sanskrit सेवा (sevā) — selfless service, care given without expectation of return. In Indian philosophy, sevā isn't charity. It is the recognition that caring for others is inseparable from caring for yourself.
We chose the word because the technology should embody what it means: presence without agenda, attention without burden, care that simply shows up.
On-site, hybrid. The team meets in person regularly and ships from California. We’re preparing for our first pilot deployments with community partners now. If you run a floor that fits that scope, talk to us.
Large language models can now hold real conversations. Voice synthesis is finally usable in short turns. Limited vision context can help surface wellness observations for staff review. The pieces of a useful companion finally exist on the shelf.
Meanwhile, assisted living communities are being asked to feel more personal and connected than ever, with the staffing model of 2002. Families are calling and getting voicemail. Residents are spending the hours between visits with the television on.
We started Sevah to close that gap for residents and families first: resident conversation support plus staff-reviewed workflow automation inside assisted living communities.
