Cherish develops intelligent radar-based sensor platforms that revolutionize health and safety monitoring wherever people live, work, or play. Our patented spatial computing technology works ambiently (through the air) without changing how people live and by prioritizing their privacy. We detect emergencies and risks to people's health and safety and bring them timely help so they and their loved ones may live better with more independence, safety, and peace of mind.
From a moonshot …
to shooting the moon
We created Cherish a scant five years ago with a vision for a moonshot, frustrated by the lack of innovation to help us remain independent and maintain our dignity as we and our loved ones age or live with health challenges.
“People have been trying to do this with radar for forty years. What makes you think you will pull it off?”
So, a small team that had succeeded together twice before rolled up our sleeves again. We set audacious goals—never violate trust, never compromise dignity or privacy, actively bring joy, see through walls, monitor multiple people, require no professional setup, and some goals that were even more out there.
Four years later, we shot the moon. In January 2024, we proudly showcased our technology at CES alongside our investor and distribution partner, Alarm.com. A year later, we have world-class manufacturing partnerships and at-scale distribution agreements with leaders in tech and telecom, and are poised for significant impact.
We’re overwhelmed with support and are so grateful as some of the world’s most incredible talent, advisors, investors, leading research labs, and technology companies continue to join us, equally driven and inspired by our vision and mission.
Pendants and help buttons rob our dignity and are universally disliked. Watches and wrist straps, magical as some are, are useless when we forget to charge or wear them. Cameras steal our privacy and aren’t welcome inside our homes. Motion and contact sensors scattered across homes create false alarms and get turned off. WiFi and other radio frequency solutions in the market have very limited range and resolution, and aren’t great at detecting much more than presence or a few vital signs that are useful only in care settings.
