Inspiren launches the first complete AI-driven senior living ecosystem
Powered by $35 million in Series A funding, Inspiren improves care planning, enhances resident safety, strengthens emergency response and optimizes staff workflows for the senior care industry.
NEW YORK, March 20, 2025 - Inspiren, a leader in AI-powered solutions redefining senior living, today announced the addition of its emergency call system, making it the market’s first and only senior living ecosystem to integrate care planning, resident safety, staff efficiency, and emergency call into one seamless solution. This follows Inspiren’s $35 million Series A funding led by Avenir with participation from Primary Venture Partners, Story Ventures, Third Prime and Studio VC. The funding will support the growth of Inspiren’s clinical consulting and internal teams and further scale its senior living ecosystem.
By 2030, an estimated 73 million baby boomers will be 65 or older, intensifying demand on senior care communities. The senior living industry already faces significant challenges like inconsistent and limited care standards, rising healthcare costs and increasingly complex care needs. As 95 percent of baby boomers have at least one chronic condition, an influx of seniors entering care with higher acuity than ever before will only further strain the existing senior care infrastructure.
Founded by Michael Wang, a former Green Beret and cardiothoracic nurse, Inspiren addresses these issues with a complete and connected care ecosystem. Instead of focusing on one aspect of care, Inspiren combines care planning, staff optimization, emergency response and resident safety into one platform, alongside dedicated clinical support. Inspiren’s team of clinicians uses data insights to recommend care plan adjustments.
“We're setting a new standard for care, transparent billing and peace of mind for everyone involved in senior living," said Michael Wang, founder and chief clinical officer of Inspiren. "We are going beyond the traditional, often disparate care and operational management solutions by combining everything operators, care teams, residents and their families need in one fully-integrated system. Inspiren was founded on the belief that technology and humanity must work together to redefine senior care. This ecosystem furthers that mission and proves that compassionate care and technology can coexist.”
This has helped prevent up to 30% of missed revenue due to inaccurate care levels, ensuring fair and transparent billing while improving care outcomes. Additionally, one case study showed an 83% reduction in 911 calls due to falls, highlighting how AI-powered resident safety can prevent unnecessary hospital visits
The newest innovation to complete Inspiren’s AUGi ecosystem is AUGi Call, the industry’s first emergency call system with live video triage, visual context and two-way voice capabilities. AUGi Call data, combined with insights from the entire ecosystem, offers a comprehensive view into community-wide care utilization and delivers data-driven insights to personalize care for each resident.
Beyond the technology—and as part of the Inspiren promise—each community is assigned a dedicated clinical specialist who becomes an integral part of the care team. By leveraging ecosystem insights, Inspiren’s clinical team partners with communities to ensure care plans remain accurate, transparent, and responsive to individual needs.
Key components of the Inspiren ecosystem include:
- Care level planning and billing: Tracks care delivery and analyzes resident health data to inform operational and clinical decisions. Inspiren's clinical team assesses both community-wide and individual resident insights, including care utilization, behavioral trends, and staff activity to drive proactive care planning.
- Resident Safety: Uses AI to detect fall risks, identify high-risk residents, and provide actionable recommendations for preventative care. Care teams can review incidents and gain clearer insights to make more informed decisions—leading to fewer unnecessary hospital visits.
- Advanced emergency call system: Features two-way voice communication, privacy-protected live visual context and alerts for immediate caregiver response.
- Workforce optimization: Streamlines staff workflows and enhances triage with live visual context, giving care teams more capacity to improve response times and spend more time with residents—enhancing both safety and trust. On average, communities are able to reduce response times to 90 seconds.
“Inspiren represents a breakthrough solution to senior living’s most pressing challenges," said Jared Sleeper, partner at Avenir Growth Capital. "The company is the first to tackle critical pain points—from staffing and inefficient workflows to inconsistent billing and resident safety—in one seamlessly integrated platform. We believe Inspiren has the potential to fundamentally transform how senior care is delivered, making it more efficient, transparent and ultimately, more human."
"Inspiren is the only company in the market taking a holistic approach to improving resident safety, optimizing staffing, and enhancing operations. Their obsession with improving outcomes combined with their integrated platform are already delivering a measurable impact for leading care communities across the country. We believe Inspiren’s technology will set a new standard for efficiency, transparency, and quality in senior living," said Sam Toole, partner at Primary Venture Partners.
