BoundaryCare
Our Story
We founded the company in 2019, releasing our first consumer product in 2021. Although our original focus was on dementia caregiving, we have broadened our vision (and our services) to address senior health monitoring, hospital-to-home, fall prevention, autism, Down Syndrome, and more.
Based in Minnesota, we are dedicated to helping vulnerable adults and their caregivers with digital solutions
We get it.
At BoundaryCare (aka Beatrice Health LLC), we’re not just developers; we’re caregivers. Our products are informed by experience and designed to provide real support. No gimmicks or gadgets—just the tools you need to keep your loved one safe and independent, with dignity.
We keep it simple.
We make a single product: BoundaryCare, designed to be used with an Apple Watch (device sold separately by Apple), connecting with caregiver apps on iOS for iPhone and iPad. No amulets, pendants, or other oddball devices with terrible battery life. We start with the world’s finest digital watch, and make it better.
