Why we're building Halo
A fall can change more than your health. It can change how confidently you live.
Xavier Nishikawa · Founder, Halo
A note from our founder
Both of my grandmothers experienced serious falls. One became paralyzed. The other had difficulty walking for the rest of her life.
While conducting research at my university and speaking with older adults, I kept hearing the same story. Even a fall without a serious injury could leave a lasting fear. People moved less, became more cautious, and stopped doing things they once enjoyed. Over time, that loss of confidence chipped away at their independence.
The fall itself is only half the damage. The fear that follows is the other half.
Emergency buttons and fall-detection features can help after a fall. Our team is building Halo to add something different: a clearer view of changes in balance, movement, and vital signs over time, before an emergency.
Our goal is simple. Help you notice changes sooner, ask better questions, and take a more active role in your health, so you can keep living the way you want to live.
What we believe
Before, not after
The best emergency is the one that never happens. We work weeks ahead, not seconds behind.
Plain words
No scores, no jargon, no alarms. If your neighbor wouldn't understand it, we don't ship it.
Your life, your data
Private by default, shared only when you choose. Never sold, never used for ads.
Where we are
Halo started as university research and grew through hundreds of conversations with older adults about what they actually want: independence first, technology second.
We're launching with 100 founding members in April 2027. Founding members shape the product with us, and every reservation is fully refundable until your Halo ships.
