Pre-seed round open

Consumer safety hardware for people who live alone.

Veltix is a discreet wearable Patch that detects fall-like motion and prolonged inactivity and alerts a cascade of family contacts. Consumer-positioned, not a medical device. Hardware plus subscription.

Why now

Three forces opening this window.

Independent living at scale

Single-person households are among the fastest-growing household types, and ageing in place is what most older adults — and their families — want.

Sensor economics

BLE 5.0 radios and low-power motion sensing have become cheap enough to make a discreet consumer patch viable at modest volume.

Existing devices lose to stigma

Pendants and wrist alarms fail on adherence, not technology. Discretion is the unaddressed variable — a design problem, not a research problem.

Advisors

Experienced advisors, in an advisory capacity.

Veltix is advised on hardware and app design by two physicians, in a non-clinical, advisory capacity.

Dr. Nasser Rezazadeh

Senior Advisor

Medico Chirurgo · 40+ years in emergency medicine

Forty years in emergency medicine, including service as a 118 territorial emergency physician and in the emergency department of Martini Hospital, Turin. Advises on detection thresholds and alert-cascade design.

Dr. Babak Nosrati

Research Advisor

Medico Chirurgo · University of Turin

Physician with a university research background. Advises on study design for beta validation.

Both advisors are compensated in equity and serve in a non-clinical, advisory capacity. They do not provide medical care, medical advice or clinical services through the product.

The ask

Pre-seed round, open.

We're looking for sector-smart investors with consumer hardware or health-adjacent experience. Active help with distribution, regulation and the next round matters more to us than the last point of valuation.
