Our Story

Caregiving rarely comes with a roadmap. One day, someone you love needs more help, and suddenly you're researching symptoms, trying anything that might help, running on no sleep, and second-guessing everything. That’s what our founder Emily faced while caring for her grandmother. After a one-year waitlist, they were offered generic printouts and told to come back in 12 months. No guidance, just the realization they were on their own.

Millions are caring for aging loved ones without support

Changes in memory, energy, mobility, and daily routines can happen gradually or all at once, and too often, family members are left to navigate one of life’s hardest roles without real tools or guidance.

That’s why we started Beaver

We chose the name “Beaver” because beavers have an incredible work ethic and build strong, resilient systems that support everyone around them.

Backed by Harvard Innovation Labs & National Institutes of Health

Beaver Health offers science-based tools to support cognitive wellness and 24/7 expert-vetted guidance for caregivers navigating the realities of aging at home. Our goal is simple: help families feel less overwhelmed, more confident, and more connected to those they love.

Caregiving Is a Public Health Priority

“Beaver Health has the possibility of making a real and lasting impact in society […] and is poised to transform the way we care for and support older loved ones”

“Beaver's software-enabled intuitive face-to-face delivery is an advantage over existing apps for caregivers. The personalization with life history and culture is highly innovative.”

“Beaver Health’s work has already demonstrated early success in helping individuals with memory function and communicate at much higher levels. No doubt their platform will profoundly impact the lives of older adults and the caregivers who support them.

Who We Are

Our team combines personal caregiving experience with deep expertise in aging, cognitive health, behavioral science, state-of-the-art assistive technologies, and digital care.

Everything we build is grounded in research and shaped by what real families actually need.

There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregiving.
