How Lutso works
Plug it in. It does the rest.
There’s nothing for them to do. To them, it’s just a lamp on the nightstand. You follow along in the app, and you’ll know right away if a night goes wrong.
Step 1
Just plug it in by their bed
It looks and works like an ordinary bedside lamp. Nothing for them to open, set up, wear, or charge.
Step 2
It learns their normal night
Sleep, breathing, and movement, sensed across the room with contactless mmWave radar.
Something’s off tonight
We’re calling your parent now, and we’ll keep you posted.
Step 3
A specialist calls when it matters
If a night turns serious, a trained specialist calls your parent first. Emergency help follows only if it’s truly needed.
See it coming
Catch the hard night before the fall.
Most mornings it’s just an all-clear. If something starts to slip, you’ll see it coming days ahead. And if a night goes bad, you’ll know right away.

Worth a check-in. Can be an early sign.

The slow drift, caught early
Small shifts, like getting up more at night, show up here early, while there’s still time to act.

Needs attention
Breathing and heart rate are far outside normal.
A specialist is calling now. We’ll call you if there’s no answer.
When it can’t wait
The serious moment
Vitals far outside normal, and a specialist already on the phone with your parent.
Swipe to see all three
Lutso is not a medical device and does not diagnose. It notices changes from normal and helps you step in sooner. You choose who’s looped in.
What changes
Call just to talk again.
Through the nights, Lutso keeps track, so you don’t have to. A specialist calls your parent first if something looks off. Your calls go back to being calls, just to talk, not to check in.
Why we built Lutso
We’re building it on real feedback.
From our caregiver interviews and buyer panels, anonymized.
Why a lamp beats a pendant, or a camera.

From the founders
It was never just about knowing something happened. It’s about knowing early enough to help, without taking away the independence that makes home, home.
For the doctor
What it learns, a doctor can use.
A pendant or camera can raise an alarm, but neither shows a trend. Lutso turns the nights into a 30-, 60-, or 90-night summary you can forward to your parent’s doctor, so your gut feeling becomes something to act on.

Good to know
The questions people ask first.
What happens in an emergency?
A specialist calls your parent first and, if it’s serious, escalates to emergency help. You’re looped in only if you’ve asked.
What about false alarms? Will I be woken for every little thing?
No. Lutso learns your parent’s normal night first, so it flags real, meaningful changes, not every toss and turn. Nothing escalates on its own: a specialist checks in with your parent first, and pressing the stop button on the lamp cancels a false alarm. By default you get a calm morning all-clear, with a real-time call only for a genuine emergency, on the terms you set.
Will my parent accept it?
Most people forget it’s anything more than a lamp. There’s no camera, no wearable, nothing to wear or press, and nothing on the nightstand that looks medical.
What does it notice, and is it watching them?
Sleep, breathing, movement, and the restless, drifting nights that can lead up to a fall, so you can act while there’s still time to help. It senses this with contactless mmWave radar, proven in care settings for years, and machine-learning models learn their normal night. There’s no camera and no microphone: it reads movement and breathing as patterns, not pictures or audio, and no video or audio ever leaves the home. Only an alert reaches the people you’ve chosen.
What about a fall during the day, in another room?
Lutso is night-first and single-room by design today; whole-home daytime coverage is the next step (a living-room unit). We’d rather be honest about that than over-promise.
Does my parent need Wi-Fi, an app, or a smartphone?
No. The lamp works on its own over a built-in mobile connection, so there’s nothing for your parent to install or check. The Lutso app is for you, to follow the nights and get alerts.
