With America's 65+ population doubling in the decades ahead and hospital-at-home programs expected to reach almost $23 billion in the next five years, the home itself has become a critical but overlooked setting of care. Falls at home are the leading cause of injury, death, and costly hospital readmissions among older adults—yet traditional, in-person assessments cannot keep pace with the exploding growth of the older adult population.

"DwellSafe was created to bring clinical-level home-safety assessments into every home—supporting families who want safer aging and health systems striving to reduce preventable readmissions," said James Taylor, MD, MPH, Co-Founder, and CEO of DwellSafe. "Now we can connect a clinical team into any home, anytime—breaking down barriers to care and tackling the risks that drive poor outcomes. It's like putting a clinician in your pocket."

The DwellSafe Platform: Scalable, Clinician-Reviewed Prevention

The DwellSafe platform brings hospital-grade safety assessments into any home—instantly and at scale. By combining AI with precision-matched clinicians, DwellSafe delivers actionable insights that help families, providers, and health systems prevent falls and improve recovery.

• Virtual Access, Anywhere: Remote home scans and clinician-reviewed assessments completed entirely through a smartphone, no in-person visit required.
• Proactive Prevention: Personalized home scans and safety plans, guided by clinicians matched to each patient's unique needs and home environment.
• Actionable Guidance: Take action with 1:1 clinician support and approved local resources to make updates with ease.
• Data-Driven Precision: Each scan generates structured home and risk data, unlocking insights into social determinants of health (SDOH), population health, and predictive risk information to improve care quality and outcomes.
• Clinical Integration: Embeds seamlessly into healthcare workflows, with clinician-reviewed scans flowing into care plans and discharge planning.

Using just a smartphone, families, caregivers, and patients can scan the home, answer adaptive health questions, and receive a personalized, clinician-reviewed safety plan with clear next steps.

Healthcare Integration: Safer Transitions of Care

For hospitals, clinics, and care teams, DwellSafe provides a new way to improve outcomes: reducing readmissions, streamlining discharge planning, and addressing SDOH by uncovering risks at home that often go unseen.

One Health, a leading primary-care clinic in Charlotte, N.C., has begun using DwellSafe with its highest-risk patients as they transition from hospital or skilled-nursing stays to home, where falls are a leading cause of costly readmissions.

"DwellSafe gives our team a clinically reviewed window into a patient's home," said Mark Collins, MD, Chief Strategy Officer at One Health. "The platform is unlike anything we've seen before, and it aligns with our whole-person care mission. We're starting with our highest-risk patients, but we see this becoming a value-driver across primary care for our Medicare population and those at moderate to high risk of falls."

In addition to healthcare providers, DwellSafe is also expanding through national partnerships, including a National Council on Aging grant enabling EMS responders in North Carolina, a collaboration with Rebuilding Together to assist low-income homeowners and veterans, and a new relationship with Lowe's to broaden access to home-safety solutions nationwide.
