We're building AI enabled home technology that quietly looks out for people, especially when it matters most.

Asthesis was created to address a clear challenge in health and social care: too often, changes in wellbeing go unnoticed until a person reaches crisis point. We are building a new generation of technology enabled care that helps identify risk earlier, supports people to remain safely at home, and enables more responsive care around the individual.

A two-year-old boy was found lifeless beside his father, days after his father had suffered a fatal heart attack at home. There is a likelihood the child might still be alive if his father had survived. What followed was not a sudden event, but a quiet unfolding: missed visits, unanswered messages, and a door that remained closed while, inside, the child was left alone without care or help.

This tragedy reveals something deeper: how fragile independence can become without continuous awareness. Emergencies don’t always happen loudly; sometimes they happen in silence, behind closed doors. And in those moments, the difference between life and loss is not just response, but timely awareness.

Asthesis began with a simple but urgent question: how can we help people live well at home without compromising privacy, autonomy or quality of life?

That question shaped our approach from day one. We are developing home based technology that can identify subtle changes in routine, movement, and activity, supporting preventative and anticipatory care for people at risk of deterioration and home first care models.

Asthesis brings together expertise across engineering, AI, care, ethics and lived experience. We work at the intersection of health technology and human centred care, with a focus on practical solutions for individuals, carers, providers, local authorities, NHS commissioners and wider care systems.
