LifeAssist Technologies

LifeAssist Technologies, which operated under the domain lat.care, was a healthcare technology company founded in 2013 by CEO and co-founder Val Ornoy. The firm was headquartered in San Francisco and focused on providing digital solutions for the senior care market. Its primary objective was to enhance the operations and quality of care offered by professional care providers, such as home care agencies, as well as to support families and seniors.

The company's core business revolved around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. It developed an enterprise care management platform named Circura, designed to improve communication, family engagement, and collaboration among caregivers, families, and seniors. Accessible from any smart device, the platform aimed to connect all parties involved in a senior's care, regardless of their location. This enabled better management and coordination, contributing to a higher standard of care.

A key component of their offering was a companion in-home device called Rosie, which worked in conjunction with the Circura platform. This hardware was a voice-controlled reminder and communication device. Together, the software and hardware allowed for the monitoring of health data and increased patient engagement through personalized reminders. The business model focused on providing these tools to home care agencies through a white-label partnership program, equipping them with technology to compete in a rapidly evolving industry. After its launch, LifeAssist Technologies ceased operations, with its status listed as out of business as of October 10, 2022.
