Fyve Health Launch

Fyve Health Launch

Fyve Labs has launched our first company, Fyve Health. We created it to address a challenge that many of us will face in our own lives. Our first product, Tessa, comes from personal experience and a shared desire to support families caring for aging loved ones.

Heard but not watched

Caregiving is part of my own story. My family has supported both of my parents over the years, and much of that care has happened from far away. The distance can be difficult, especially in the quiet moments when I cannot reach my mom and hear she is alright. Those are the moments that stay with me.

When I brought this to the Fyve Labs team, we saw a chance to build something useful and human. We spoke with many family caregivers and found the same themes. People want to stay connected. They want to help. They want to preserve dignity. They do not want surveillance. They want support. And they want to know that mom is OK.

Tessa was shaped through those conversations.

Tessa provides a way to stay informed without intruding. It listens for key events in the home, summarizes what matters, and shares meaningful insights through a family app. This includes signals like sleep changes, missed visits, or distress. Families can set how much detail they see. Privacy is respected. Independence is protected.

Tessa Highlights at a Glance

• Active home trials: End-to-end prototype testing is underway, surfacing what's useful day to day.
• Growing demand: 25 new wait-listed alpha testers, with more inbound interest from families and partners.
• Richer context: Tessa now recognizes 152+ household sounds, helping distinguish meaningful events from background noise.
• Stronger foundation: Mobile app, off-shelf hardware and API infrastructure prepared for a larger beta cohort.

Research and validation

Insights from interviews and surveys continue to align around three principles: preserve dignity, reduce cognitive load for families, and communicate the right things at the right time.

"Any change in anything is a huge thing at this stage."

"I feel 24/7 on call—sometimes I have to drive immediately."

"We need privacy. Cameras don't feel right—sound is better."

By the numbers

• 25 alpha testers on the waitlist
• 152+ unique household sounds recognized
• AI pipeline built and iterating
• Prototype testing underway in active homes

What's next

We're preparing the next phase of testing with a broader beta cohort. The near-term emphasis is reliability, clarity, and caregiver trust: fewer alerts, more meaning, and effortless control.
