Our mission is grounded in improving quality of life through advanced sensor technology and predictive analytics to deliver timely interventions with a more holistic, proactive model of care.
Decades ago, we were introduced to innovative technology that was improving the quality of life and aging in place, by the University of Missouri – Columbia researchers. And we thought to ourselves, “How can we make this technology available to everyone?”
This vision is why we created foresite, empowering individuals to live safely and comfortably without changing their lifestyle or invading their privacy.

From Research to Real-World Impact: The Foresite Story
Foresite was born from a mission to make aging safer and more fulfilling. Founded in 2013 as a university spin-off, our roots reach back to pioneering research at the Center for Eldercare and Rehabilitation Technology and Aging in Place. With The National Institute of Health (NIH) and The National Science Foundation (NSF) funding, they blended clinical insight with engineering prowess. Today Foresite uses advanced sensor technology and predictive analytics to detect early signs of potential issues—including fall risk, acute illnesses, or chronic exacerbations—enabling early intervention and proactive care. This technology empowers seniors to lead healthier, safer lives while reducing injuries and healthcare costs, redefining how we care for our aging population.
2001
Research begins at the University of Missouri on eldercare technology. Marilyn Rantz, a renowned nurse researcher, and Marjorie Skubic, a pioneer in engineering, collaborate to develop sensor-based technology aimed at improving senior care.
2004
The University of Missouri establishes TigerPlace, an innovative aging-in-place facility that integrates sensor technology to monitor seniors’ health and mobility, reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life.
2007
Early research shows significant promise, with sensors identifying changes in seniors’ movements that predict health declines, falls, and other issues. The team publishes early findings, paving the way for commercial applications.
2010
Marilyn Rantz and Marjorie Skubic receive national recognition for their pioneering research in geriatric care, expanding funding opportunities and collaborations.
2013
Foresite is officially founded as a spin-off from the University of Missouri to commercialize the groundbreaking sensor technology developed by Rantz, Skubic, and their team.
2017
After years of research and development, Foresite’s solutions are commercialized, focusing on fall prevention, predictive health analytics, and continuous monitoring for seniors.
2018
Foresite establishes a strong presence in senior living communities across the U.S., and pilots in UK, Australia, and New Zealand, utilizing AI-driven data to prevent falls and improve health outcomes.
2020
Foresite secures its 20th patent, solidifying its place as an industry leader in fall prevention and predictive analytics, with over 100 peer-reviewed publications demonstrating the efficacy of its technology.
2024
Foresite receives the National Institute on Aging grant for further research on the impact of gait and activity analysis on cognitive changes, pushing the frontiers of senior care through AI and machine learning. Foresite continues its collaboration with TigerPlace and expands research efforts with PennAI Tech, using AI to enhance care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease through mobility analysis.
