Our Mission

More years at home. Fewer years worrying.

“Gentle reassurance for families. Dignified independence for loved ones.”

The Origin Story

Why a family physician built this.

While training in the Emergency Room as a resident, Dr. Sundeep Varma saw the same pattern over and over. Older adults arrived with falls and fractures — most of which followed an infection. An infection that had been showing signs for days, sometimes weeks, before the fall.

The data had been there all along — on their wrist, in an Apple Watch, logging every heartbeat, every restless night. But no one was connecting the dots. By the time the family noticed, it was too late for a simple fix.

I've spoken to many seniors, and they've told me what they don't want. They don't want cameras, sonar, microphones, or anything intrusive. So I built Harmoni for our parents, to keep them safe at home for longer.
Dr. Sundeep Varma, founder

He kept coming back to one question: what if someone had noticed two days earlier? That question sparked Harmoni. A wellness tool that reads the data the Apple Watch is already collecting, learns what's normal for each person, and gently nudges the family when something shifts.

Our Values

What we believe

Patience over panic

Single-parameter shifts get time, not alarms. We trust the data to show patterns.

Dignity over surveillance

No cameras. No GPS. No microphones. Their home stays their home.

Connection over control

Harmoni nudges gently. The family decides. The loved one retains control.

Honesty over hype

We're a wellness tool, not a medical device. We observe and report — never diagnose.

The Grandmother Test

Before we build any feature, we ask one question:

“Would I trust this for my own grandmother?”

If a feature feels intrusive, patronising or confusing, it doesn't ship. Every screen, every notification and every word is tested against the dignity of the person wearing the watch.

Our vision

We want to change how aging feels. Not with more technology in the home, but with less intrusion and more connection. A world where families don't have to choose between respecting independence and staying quietly connected to their loved one.
