At-home healthcare is rapidly emerging as one of the most dynamic frontiers in AgeTech. This comes as no surprise: A recent report from PwC describes that over the next decade, $1 trillion will shift away from the complexities of the current healthcare-delivery system toward a digital-first, personalized model of care. “This is not science fiction,” concludes the report. “It is already taking shape in the form of virtual-first delivery, AI-supported decision-making and interoperable, consumer-centered platforms.”
As providers, payers and patients alike look for more scalable, lower-friction models of care, AgeTech innovators are in the vanguard, building solutions that make it easier to monitor health, deliver therapy and surface clinically meaningful insights outside traditional care settings. For older adults, that shift can be especially powerful — helping reduce barriers to access, support earlier intervention and enable more consistent care without adding unnecessary burden.
What makes this category especially promising is that the most effective solutions are not simply moving clinical tools into the home — they’re redesigning care around real-world use. Many ATC startups — including the seven that we are curating below — embody standout features of this trend: low-friction data capture that fits naturally into everyday routines, clinician-grade insights delivered through consumer-friendly devices, and platforms that strengthen the connection between patients and providers rather than replace it.
Together, these companies and their solutions point to a larger, ongoing opportunity for AgeTech innovators: building systems that make healthcare more continuous, accessible and actionable — not just in hospitals and offices, but wherever people live and recover.
Bathroom-Based Monitoring for Earlier Intervention
Digital health device company Starling Medical offers an at-home urine monitoring platform that seamlessly integrates into anybody’s daily bathroom routine. The hands-free, self-cleaning device installs easily inside most toilet bowls and uses optics-based technology to scan urine for signs of health-related problems. Combined with an AI-powered monitoring solution, Starling Medical provides users with insights into their health, helping to prevent hospitalizations and urinary tract infections.
Seamless Device Connectivity for Simpler Remote Care
Tenovi is a data aggregation and automation platform that serves as the “glue” connecting at-home medical devices and remote patient monitoring companies. When a user takes a reading at home with one of 60-plus compatible cellular-connected devices — including blood pressure monitors, glucose meters and more — Tenovi’s proprietary Cellular Gateway device automatically sends the data to the cloud in seconds, all without needing Wi-Fi. The Gateway also provides gentle reminders for patients to take their daily readings, improving lives by simplifying remote care.
Video-Based Exercise Plans for Smarter Rehab at Home
EverEx is a B2B remote therapeutic monitoring platform for at-home musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Clinicians use the EverEx app to send personalized, video-based exercise plans to patients, who then engage in the exercise regimen at home. The platform — which integrates into existing electronic medical records systems — empowers prescribers to track a patient’s adherence and progress, analyze their movements and streamline reimbursement from Medicare and other payers. Additionally, a patient portal allows users to track their progress and stay engaged between doctor visits, extending high-quality rehab beyond the clinic into patients’ homes.
Gamified Neuro Rehab for More Independent Recovery
With its AI-powered rehabilitation platform, HoustonBionics transforms any home into a smart recovery clinic for people recovering from neurological injury such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury. The company’s ExoRehab X system enables customers to perform high-repetition, upper-extremity rehab exercises, empowering survivors to rebuild motor function, independence and quality of life without requiring therapist or caregiver supervision. Game-like activities encourage sustained participation and keep users’ motivation high, while performance indicators let patients and clinicians alike monitor progress.
Smartphone Gait Analysis for Earlier Mobility Insights
Believing that how people move — their gait — is a powerful but underutilized indicator of health, OneStep makes gait analysis as common and accessible as a blood test. The company’s platform turns any smartphone into a tool for real-world mobility assessment that delivers immediate, clinically validated gait insights based on objective data. From fall prevention and orthopedic recovery to cognitive decline and more, OneStep provides early insights that can help patients regain independence, gives clinicians visibility into mobility and other issues, and allows families to better understand a loved one’s progress.
Remote Balance Assessment for Safer Aging at Home
Surge Motion is a digital health company focused on early fall prevention. Its Aspire Motion platform uses quantitative movement analysis and evidence-based exercises to help patients improve their balance, build stability and gain strength, even outside a clinical setting. It also supports therapists with tools for remotely evaluating patients’ body movements and balance ability with the accuracy of advanced clinical research equipment, and it gives users immediate feedback on exercise performance, empowering them to take meaningful action to improve function and maintain independence.
At-Home Nerve Stimulation for Better Bladder Control
The Zida Control Sock is the first FDA-cleared, at-home treatment for bladder control issues. It works through a simple wearable sock used once a week for 30 minutes, gently stimulating a nerve near the ankle to help regulate bladder signals and reducing overactive bladder, urinary frequency, urge incontinence and nocturia. The sock is non-invasive and causes no serious side effects, and clinical studies show that people using Zida experienced meaningful reductions in leaks and urgent bathroom trips, with an 80% success rate compared to a placebo device.
The startups featured here reflect a broader shift that is reshaping healthcare and aging alike: bringing meaningful care closer to everyday life. For AgeTech innovators, the opportunity lies in creating solutions that reduce friction for users while expanding visibility and value for clinicians, payers and care teams alike.
