SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (M/F/D)

Sedimentum is a Swiss Health-Tech startup which designs its own IoT sensors, software, and machine learning (ML) algorithms to protect vulnerable individuals and provide peace of mind to their loved ones. Our focus is on seniors who increasingly live alone and are at risk of health-threatening emergencies (e.g., falls) which often go undetected. We believe that current technological solutions addressing this trend are insufficient, stigmatizing or simply out-of-date. For this, we drive innovation through our custom-manufactured hardware sensors, which can sense human motion without the need to be worn, and the development of novel algorithms to detect emergencies and call for help automatically.

Helpany Inc. 95 Third Street, 2nd Floor San Francisco, CA 94103

At the age of 78, my mother greatly values her independence and the ability to live on her own. As her family, it’s only natural for us to be concerned about her well-being. Discovering Helpany has been a game-changer for us. The radar device from Helpany has become our peace of mind, enabling us to stay connected with how she’s doing and ensuring help is available when she needs it, all while respecting her strong wish for privacy since it operates without cameras or microphones. It’s a relief to know that such a non-intrusive solution exists, and I can’t recommend Helpany enough to others in similar situations. 

Abbie R.

I really like Helpany. My mom is very independent and refuses to wear a pendant or have a camera in her house. It has been a real source of peace of mind for me, knowing that Helpany is there when I can’t be with her in person. Another unexpected benefit is that I can peek in before I call to see if she’s in a place where she can comfortably answer the phone without having to run across the house. I would definitely recommend Helpany to anyone who has a mom like mine, who doesn’t want anything intrusive. With Helpany, you can still feel that she’s safe.

Tori R.

As the CIO of a leading home care provider, and more importantly, as a devoted son to my wonderful mother, I am constantly seeking solutions to enhance the quality of life. Helpany has significantly changed my perspective on digital care. Since I don’t live close to my mom, the greatest benefit it has offered me is peace of mind, knowing that Helpany is always there when I can’t be.

Stuart F.

My son introduced me to Helpany and ever since we’ve been using it, I feel considerably safer and more independent both at home and on the go. What I especially appreciate is that Helpany runs discreetly in the background 24/7, without me having to think about anything. The system is uncomplicated and represents the ideal solution for both me and my family, as we are always connected to each other through the associated app.

Esther B.

My grandson introduced me to Helpany. Thanks to Helpany, I feel safer, and my loved ones can check on me through the Helpany app to see if I’m doing well. Therefore, I feel cared for day and night, and my relatives have peace of mind. Also, I really enjoy the smart night light.

Alfred E.

My grandparents are very active and tend to go out a lot. If one person is not at home, I can stay connected with the person who is home alone with Helpany. Thanks to the Helpany app, we always know if everything is okay, even if the grandparents don’t answer a call. For us as relatives, this is a great relief, and at the same time our grandparents feel safer.

Joel S.

I want to be able to make decisions freely for as long as possible and do the things that truly make me happy. This is why my independence and freedom are very important to me. Because, I live alone, I have installed Helpany. As a result, I feel much safer, freer, and more independent at home. It’s fantastic!

Patrick E.

I first learned about Helpany through Facebook, and I was instantly captivated by their solution. Thanks to Helpany, I now feel more comfortable both at home and while on the move, especially with the integrated burglary alarm system. This additional layer of safety has noticeably brought relief into my life.
