Cicada
Sense.
— Cicada Sense connects you to the health of those you love, quietly and without intrusion.
Care that never intrudes.
Passive, AI-powered in-home sensing. An easy one-time setup under the mattress is all it takes to monitor heart rate, respiration, sleep, and safety events — clinically validated, continuously.
Heart Rate
Continuous overnight monitoring, beat-detection accuracy validated against clinical reference.
Respiration Rate
Breath-by-breath sensing detects sleep apnea patterns and respiratory distress overnight.
Blood Pressure
Cuffless, contact-free estimation derived from ballistic cardiogram signal — no patient effort required.
Safety Events
Fall events, on/off bed events, posture changes — interpreted by AI, escalated to caregivers in seconds.
Better monitoring, better decisions.
Cicada Sense is a zero-touch, privacy-respecting remote vital signs solution. Its features are built on patent-protected technology from research at the University of Georgia, with peer-reviewed evidence for remote monitoring at scale.
Successful aging is a puzzle.
America is aging in place — alone, undermonitored, and increasingly at risk. Cicada is built for the families who hold this puzzle together, and the researchers working to solve it.
Cicada helps older adults live better through affordable, easy-to-use, discreet, continuous monitoring.
One quiet system. Three components.
A bedside sensor, an AI in the cloud, and the apps your family actually opens. Built to disappear into the room.
Cloud-connected seismic sensor
Wifi + BLE, battery-powered. When placed onto a bed, it records the vibrations and streams the data to the cloud, interpreted by AI into vital signs.
Cloud-based AI algorithm
Raw seismic data interpreted into heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, on/off bed events, falls, movements, and posture changes.
Mobile, tablet, web, API
Mobile app for setup, tablet for multi-user facility monitoring, web portal for provisioning, and an API gateway for third-party integration.
Short answers, plainly given.
Is my identity protected? +
Yes. We strip all personal information — name, address, device ID — before any researcher sees the data. Only anonymized, aggregated patterns are shared.
How much will I earn? +
Rewards vary based on data type and volume. You will see the estimated reward before you opt in — no surprises.
Can I stop later? +
Absolutely. Withdraw consent any time from the app. Your data will no longer be used for new research projects.
Who sees my data? +
Only approved researchers with a signed Data Use Agreement. We audit every access and surface the trail to you on request.
How does Cicada Sense work in my home? +
An easy one-time setup under the mattress is all it takes. The sensor reads the vibrations of breath and heartbeat — no wearables, no cameras. Powered by SafeVital.
Is Cicada Sense FDA cleared? +
The product is a wellness device today, designed to support better sleep and cardiovascular awareness. The technology is currently under FDA review for potential medical applications.
Trust is the product.
Every data point on Cicada Ethos carries a verifiable consent trail. BAAs and DUAs are signed before access. Privacy is architectural, not promised.
Begin quietly. Build something that lasts.
Whether you study millions of patients or care for one, Cicada is designed to disappear into the work and leave only the signal.
