Context

Cappsule uses AI-driven sensor fusion to passively detect health signs, sleep patterns, falls and behavioural trends in care settings. They needed two devices, a hub (Cappsule HQ) and a smart tag for mobility aids and medication, that felt like calm, residential objects rather than medical equipment.

  • Reads as residential, not clinical, fits a bedroom or living room
  • Sensor placement constrained by detection FOV and acoustics
  • Battery-powered tag with multi-year coin-cell life
  • Ready for FCC/CE pre-compliance testing at first tooling
The approach

How we built it.

  1. 01
    Discover

    Workshops with the clinical advisory team to define what 'invisible monitoring' should look and feel like in a home.

  2. 02
    Concept

    A soft-radius hub with a fabric-wrapped face, paired with a coin-sized tag that disappears on equipment.

  3. 03
    CAD & DFM

    Full mechanical package across both products, with acoustic and antenna keep-outs locked with the EE team.

  4. 04
    Prototype

    Functional appearance models used in pilot deployments and the Series A raise.
