2nd placeGolden Age HackathonBraude College · March 2023A shared start. A lasting principle.
Our collaboration began before Supporta. In March 2023, we earned second place at Braude College’s Golden Age Hackathon, where we developed a wearable EMS device.
That experience shaped how we approach technology for older adults: listen first, keep it accessible, and make it fit naturally into daily life. The person should not have to learn a new technology to benefit from it. This principle became a foundation for Supporta.

Our story
A human reason. A shared direction.
A personal reason to care.
The idea began with Yareen’s grandmother and a wish to support everyday independence.
Keep independence connected.
Build around the person using the cane and the family who wants to be there.
Turn care into careful work.
A working MVP is the starting point for the planned supervised pilot and next product iteration.
The work ahead
Care, made tangible.
From a working MVP to a planned supervised pilot, each step should earn the next.
Supporta is a non-medical prototype, built around everyday independence and a meaningful connection to family.
