Taproot helps families care for aging parents. It employ connected microsensors to create a private social and technical network to keep families and caregivers connected.

Taproot adapts to the changing needs of aging parents. Its modularity responds to shifts in parent’s autonomy and need states. By adding new products to the network a-la-carte, Taproot grows with them.
