Why sleep comes easier
The hardest part isn’t the day. It’s the nights you can’t be there.
When your parent lives alone, the days are usually fine. It’s the nights that keep you up. Lutso is simply there through those hours. If something’s wrong, it notices, and a specialist calls your parent, escalating to help if it’s needed. You sleep, because you’ll know early, not too late.
How Lutso works
Plug it in. It does the rest.
Your parent operates nothing. To them, it’s just a bedside lamp. You’re the one who stays aware, and who hears the moment a night turns serious.
Step 1
Just plug it in by their bed
It looks and works like an ordinary bedside lamp. No app to open, no Wi-Fi to set up, nothing to wear or charge.
Step 2
It learns their normal night
Sleep, breathing, and movement, sensed across the room via contactless mmWave radar. No camera, no microphone, no wearable.
🔴 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.
Two kinds of signal
The slow drift. The serious moment.
The first signs of trouble show up at night, in sleep and movement, long before anyone thinks to mention them. Lutso catches both.

Signal, not noise
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.
For the doctor
What it learns, a doctor can use.
A pendant or a camera can raise an alarm, but neither can show a trend. Lutso turns the nights into a 30-, 60-, or 90-night summary of sleep, breathing, and movement that you can pull on demand and bring to your parent’s doctor. A hunch becomes something a clinician can act on.

Privacy & control
Support, not supervision. The hardware earns it.
No camera, no microphone, no wearable, no app. No one is watching. No one is listening. What it senses is encrypted and processed on the lamp, so the raw data never leaves the home, and is used only to spot changes and reach you. You choose who’s alerted; your parent is called first, and pressing the stop button on the lamp cancels the escalation.
- No camera
- No microphone
- No wearable
- No app
- You choose who’s alerted
Night-time, single-room safety. Not all-day, whole-home coverage (that’s the roadmap), and not a substitute for emergency services.
Why we built Lutso
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.
Why a lamp beats a pendant, or a camera.

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 how?
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, reading signals like movement, breathing, and rest from across the room. Machine-learning models learn their normal night and turn the changes that matter into plain-language heads-ups. No camera, no microphone, nothing to wear.
Is it watching or recording them?
No. There’s no camera and no microphone. The mmWave sensor reads movement and breathing as patterns, not pictures or audio. The raw sensing stays in the home, and only an alert ever leaves, to the people you’ve chosen.
What about a fall during the day, in another room?
Kuma 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.
Can I keep an eye on things?
Yes, on your terms. You choose who’s connected; it’s never automatic, and you can pull a 30-, 60-, or 90-night summary for their doctor whenever you like.
Does it need Wi-Fi, an app, or a smartphone?
No. Lutso works on its own with a built-in mobile connection. There’s nothing to install and nothing to check.
