Ellie Care offers a teleassistance platform that uses a LTE-connected smartwatch to monitor falls, physiological signs, activity, sleep, social interaction and cognitive state, and to trigger a three-step response (automatic detection, 24/7 call-center attention, and geolocated help). Its cognitive and affective detection modules analyze short audio samples and the technology received FDA approval; the company also collaborates with an American firm from the Amazon ecosystem and with Harvard on socioaffective detection. Ellie Care operates a mixed B2C and B2B model, licensing its platform to partners such as Osde, Prosegur and Global Care while also selling subscription plans directly to families. The startup reports nearly 4,000 active users, almost 20 million accumulated health variables, average watch use of ~19 hours per day, a churn rate below 7% and user satisfaction above 90%. Founded and led by Gervasio Videla Dorda, the team expanded from three founders to 22 employees and projects monthly recurring revenue of $150,000 by the end of 2025. The company is active in Argentina, Uruguay, Perú, República Dominicana, Brasil, the United States and Spain and is developing new segments such as a youth safety plan, lone workers, disability care and VIP security services.
