Our Story
Founder's Story
Victor Wang was conducting graduate research at MIT, working on telerobotics for NASA’s space program, where astronauts control robotic arms on shuttles. While researching, he discovered that loneliness and social isolation significantly impacted astronaut performance. At the same time, his grandmother in Taiwan was living alone and struggling with loneliness, making it difficult for her to stay motivated during her recovery from a fall.
This realization sparked the idea that his expertise in robotics could extend beyond space exploration and help address isolation in senior care. After completing his Master’s degree, Victor put his PhD on hold to focus on leveraging technology to transform senior care and improve the lives of people like his grandmother.
