Independence first
sensea uses a mix of direct and ambient sensors to understand your loved one's environment and response signals. Telling you when to act.
Built to work solo or in a network of multiple units for a more comprehensive multi-room care ecosystem.
Awareness
Providing quiet awareness for ultimate peace of mind.
sensea reads the small signals in the home. Movement, temperature, vibration, and more. Local AI handles private data collection and gives you important care insights.
Multiple sensors
Quiet confidence
Notice subtle changes
Family-shared insights
Receive smart alerts
Designed with privacy in mind
sensea senses the shape of the room and the warmth of the people in it. No faces. Nothing is recorded.
Everything sensea reads is processed inside the device itself, then quietly forgotten.
The thermal view is not a camera. It is a soft, low-resolution heat pattern. Enough to know someone is still on their feet, never enough to know what they are wearing.
Giving you enough context to act. Nothing more.
No cameras / No livestream
No microphones
No wearables
On-device processing
Sensitive data never leaves the home
How it works
A three-step setup, then forget about it.
sensea fits seamlessly into your daily life. On your counter, shelf, or bedside table. Everyday support, and most importantly perfectly unintrusive.
No installation, no wires, no professional help needed. Place it in your main care space.
Add the people who should be in the loop. A partner, a sibling, or a trusted friend. Everyone stays connected while getting the same calm.
You hear from it only when there's cause for concern. sensea doesn't bother you unless it needs to.
The full picture
One solution,
three layers.
01 — DETECTSTHE DEVICE
The hardware that notices first.
sensea sits quietly in any room - no fuss, no specialist installation. It reads warmth, movement, and the environment around it, picking up the first signal that something may need a closer look.
02 — VERIFIESTHE APP
A shared view that gives you enough to verify.
When the device notices something, the app gives trusted people the context to understand what's really happening - who's in the loop, what changed, and whether it looks like it needs attention.
03 — ACTSTHE HUMAN LAYER
When Automation Isn't Enough.
When it’s time to act, sensea gives you the context you need to respond, so you can contact a family member, neighbour, or another trusted person.

The sensea system
Enough to act.
Not enough to intrude.
Radar, thermal imagery, environmental sensors, and on-device intelligence work together to build a quiet understanding of daily life at home. Not a one-off alert. So when something changes, sensea already knows the difference.
Passive RF mapping. No camera, no recording — just the movement trajectories through a space. Radar is sensea's primary sense: it maps the rhythm of normal activity and notices when movement is sudden, unusual, or out of pattern.
What this contributes
Warmth-based presence. Body heat, not body image. When radar flags something unusual, thermal is the second layer — confirming presence and position by heat signature alone.
What this contributes
The third layer. When an unusual event is detected, impact sensing confirms it independently through vibration — a final check before an alert is trusted.
What this contributes
Temperature, humidity, air quality, and light — read alongside movement to build the full picture of life at home.
What this contributes
Weather, local conditions, and regional alerts, connected to give sensea's picture of home life the context of the world around it.
What this contributes
Why we built sensea
Built from years
inside care homes.
The care home system has long held insufficiencies, and we wanted to make a product that meets people where they are and truly relieves them of their worry. sensea exists to close that space. Quietly, and on the family's terms.
"sensea has created a technology solution that I can be confident works when we need it and unobtrusively maintains the dignity of independence when all is well." - The Henley on Broadwater

Our Story
The team behind
a sense of home
Three founders, three stories. What we saw, why we built this, and what we want families to feel.
Sebastian Wünsche
Co-Founder & CEO
Before sensea, we worked closely with care homes and care providers. We saw how impossible it is for caregivers to be everywhere at once, even at their absolute best. Unusual inactivity, isolation, a quiet change in someone's routine - these are so often noticed only after the fact. Not because people don't care, but because the system is stretched and the tools aren't good enough. So we went from care homes to the home environment: sensea brings that awareness into the place people most want to stay - their own home.
Tobias Borlinghaus
Co-Founder & CTO
Like so many people I've spoken to since starting this journey, my story begins with someone I love. My wife's grandfather lives alone in the beautiful Provençal countryside - far from family, far from us. Not knowing how he was doing, while feeling deeply responsible for his wellbeing, was a quiet but constant pain the entire family carried. The only solutions we could find were cameras or smart home sensors - neither of which felt right.
Damian Mavrudis
Co-Founder & Software Engineer
We identified significant demand for smart sensor solutions in the private elderly care sector. While working with other smart sensors in this sector, we became increasingly frustrated by their limited features, poor usability and unreliability. So, we decided to address these issues and develop our own solution.

sensea has no camera and no microphone. It doesn't record video or audio of daily life, and it never builds an image of a person or a room. It senses movement, presence, and the conditions of a space - not identity. The one moment any visual exists is a brief, event-triggered thermal view (a heat outline, not a recognizable image) sent to a trusted contact, available only briefly and never stored. In normal daily life, there is nothing to see and nothing being kept.
When sensea notices something unusual, several independent layers check it before anyone is alerted - radar detects it, thermal and impact confirm it. If the moment still needs judgment, a trusted contact receives a notification and decides whether to reassure, ignore, or escalate. sensea doesn't call emergency services on its own or make medical decisions. A person who knows your parent makes the call.
No. sensea is entirely contactless. There is nothing to wear, nothing to press, nothing to remember to charge, and nothing that depends on your parent doing anything at all. It works quietly in the background of the home - which is exactly why it keeps working on the days a pendant or a smartwatch would have been left on the nightstand.
sensea is designed to protect independence, not supervise it. Because there's no camera, no microphone, and nothing to wear, there's no sense of being filmed or monitored going about a normal day. Most of the time it does nothing visible at all. It's meant to give a parent privacy and a family peace of mind at the same time - presence in the background, not a watchful eye.
sensea is a home awareness device, not a medical or emergency-response product. It helps families stay quietly connected to the rhythm of an independently living relative's day and notice when something is out of the ordinary. It doesn't diagnose, doesn't provide medical advice, and isn't a substitute for emergency services or professional care.
