Our low-cost platform is designed to increase access and adoption of home safety resources in order to mitigate not only the morbidity and mortality associated with falls, but also their economic and psycho-social impact.
NestWell Health provides holistic aging-in-place planning for older adults and their caregivers.
Through the platform, an older adult or their caregiver can share photos of their home to receive a personalized aging-in-place plan made by real occupational therapists.
NestWell Health then supports downstream logistics (e.g., home modification contractors, non-medical home care), and behavioral coaching focused on human-environment interaction.
Spun out of Stanford University d.school in 2021, NestWell Health was founded using human centered design in partnership with the Design for Extreme Affordability Program.
This effort has since grown through diverse collaborations with partners including The Better Labs (Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital), AARP, and Rebuilding Together.

NestWell Health gives the elderly an opportunity to age at home versus being in a Long Term Care /Skilled Nursing facility which is something I know first hand that I and the family would love.
Older adult
The remote home assessment tool saves me so much time I would have spent traveling to older adults homes for in person evaluations.
Occupational Therapist
I love that I can proactively secure the safety and wellbeing of my older loved ones as they age at home.

20% of falls cause serious injuries, such as broken bones or traumatic brain injuries.
A history of falls is associated with a 2-6x increased risk of a future falls.
Fall injuries result in 2.8 million emergency department visits annually.
