Inspiren’s ecosystem delivers continuous data, including behavioral insights, imminent fall alerts, and emergency call notifications, enabling Ascent’s care teams to respond swiftly and tailor care plans to individual resident needs. The system’s privacy-first approach uses advanced visual anonymization to protect resident dignity while ensuring timely interventions. This technology supports Ascent’s commitment to proactive, resident-centered care, enhancing safety without compromising independence.
Just hours after going live in June 2025, Inspiren’s system detected a potential fall, which the resident initially denied. Staff review revealed signs of a head strike, prompting hospital evaluation where a mild stroke was diagnosed. Ascent credits Inspiren’s real-time alerts and detailed incident data for enabling rapid intervention, a critical outcome that provided vital context to the resident’s family and likely saved a life.
Peace of Mind for Families: Real-time alerts and data-driven care plans ensure prompt support, fostering confidence in resident safety.
Faster Response and Improved Outcomes: Early detection facilitates quicker clinical decisions, reducing complications and enhancing recovery.
Preventive Interventions: Proactive monitoring identifies risks early, preventing adverse events.
Transparent Communication: Objective data offers families clear answers and reassurance.
Respect for Independence: Privacy-first monitoring safeguards resident dignity.
Personalized Care: Continuous insights enable tailored care plan adjustments.
By 2030, the senior living market is projected to grow by 40% as all Baby Boomers reach age 65, intensifying the need for efficient care solutions. Ascent’s adoption of Inspiren’s technology exemplifies the industry’s shift toward integrating AI to deliver timely, personalized care while preserving resident autonomy. “Inspiren gives us eyes and ears when we can’t be physically present, allowing us to intervene faster and with greater confidence,” said Tom Finley, Founder and CEO of Ascent Living Communities. “It was simple to implement and intuitive for our care teams to adopt, which made the transition seamless.”
Michael Wang, Inspiren’s Founder and Chief Clinical Officer, added, “Ascent’s deep commitment to dignity and proactive care, paired with its focus on resident comfort, wellbeing, and desire for independence and a full life, made them an ideal partner. Our technology is designed to empower operators, providers, and caregivers with real-time insight while preserving what matters most to residents and their families: safety, independence, and trust.”
This partnership demonstrates how AI can elevate senior care standards, offering a model for scalable, compassionate solutions in the growing senior living sector.
