Cicada
Sense.
Cicada Sense connects you to the health of those you love, quietly and without intrusion.
Vital signs, sensed passively.
Passive, AI-powered in-home sensing. A one-time setup under the mattress tracks heart rate, respiration, sleep, and safety events, continuously.
Heart Rate
Continuous beat detection through the night, while the person sleeps.
Respiration Rate
Breath-by-breath sensing tracks overnight breathing patterns.
Blood-pressure trends
An experimental estimate derived from the ballistocardiogram — a research signal for tracking directional change, not a diagnostic blood-pressure measurement.
Safety Events
Falls, bed-exit, and posture changes, flagged to caregivers in seconds.
Grounded in university research.
Cicada Sense is a zero-touch, privacy-respecting remote vital-signs system. Its core technology comes from patent-pending research at the University of Georgia, developed for clinical research settings.
Successful aging is a puzzle.
America is aging in place, often alone, undermonitored, and increasingly at risk. Cicada is built for the families holding it together and the researchers working to solve it.
Cicada helps older adults live better through affordable, easy-to-use, discreet, continuous monitoring.
From the bed to your phone.
A bedside sensor captures the signal, cloud AI turns it into vital signs, and your family sees it in the app.
Cloud-connected seismic sensor
Wifi + BLE, battery-powered. When placed onto a bed, it records the vibrations and streams the data to the cloud, interpreted by AI into vital signs.
Cloud-based AI algorithm
Raw seismic data interpreted into heart rate, respiration, on/off bed events, falls, movements, and posture changes.
Mobile, tablet, web, API
Mobile app for setup, tablet for multi-user facility monitoring, web portal for provisioning, and an API gateway for third-party integration.
Common questions, answered.
Privacy is built in.
Every data point on Cicada Ethos carries a verifiable consent trail. BAAs and DUAs are signed before access. Privacy is built into the architecture.
Bring health sensing home.
Whether you care for one person or study thousands, Cicada Sense installs in minutes and runs on its own.
