LavaLab
Revolutionizing at-home elderly care with vision-based AI.
Oasis is a vision-first hardware company focused on enabling independent living for the elderly. Our product ecosystem uses secure, on-device vision AI to detect critical events including falls, respiratory distress, and calls for help, in real time. By operating entirely on-device, Oasis preserves user privacy while eliminating high recurring subscription costs. Unlike traditional 'band-aid solutions' such as using baby monitors or emergency buttons (which rely on active use or constant supervision), Oasis provides continuous, passive monitoring. We deliver timely intervention and greater peace of mind for families without compromising dignity or independence.
Oasis is a hardware ecosystem for family homes that uses vision-based AI techniques to detect dangerous events (such as falls, respiratory distress, and calls for help). Our algorithm implements research-backed approaches to identify and characterize these events in real time, and notify family members or emergency services. Calculations are performed on-device in real time, providing complete data security, reliable detection, and economical operation. Oasis is the first to introduce these exciting new computer vision techniques to the consumer market.
