Kubo Care
Building ambient intelligence for safer, more independent ageing.

Kubo Care is building an AI-native operating system for ambient health monitoring that turns any room into a smart caregiver. By combining radar and real-time sensing, Kubo Care delivers continuous, contactless care across homes, hospitals, and ageing communities — without cameras, wearables, or compromising dignity.

As populations age, families, hospitals, and senior-living communities face the same challenge: how to keep older adults safe without making them feel watched, interrupted, or dependent.

Falls, health changes, disrupted sleep, and delayed response can happen in private moments, yet many monitoring systems rely on cameras, wearables, or repeated manual checks.

Kubo Care starts from a different question: can safety exist without surveillance?

Kubo Care uses privacy-first radar and AI to understand movement, risk, and health patterns in real time.

The system can support fall detection, fall prevention, movement and activity tracking, contactless heart and respiratory insights, sleep insights, and environmental monitoring such as air quality, temperature, humidity, and light.

Instead of asking seniors to wear a device or live under a camera, Kubo Care works quietly in the background. It is designed to help caregivers respond faster, help families feel reassured, and help seniors continue ageing safely and independently.

Kubo Care was co-founded by Anurag Ram Chandran, a Schwarzman Scholar, together with Ayush Agrawal.

For Anurag, the mission is personal: he has described a vision in which every senior has the opportunity to age safely and independently, with dignity.

Before building Kubo Care, Anurag worked across investing, strategy consulting, social impact, international security policy, and the arts. He previously worked as an investor at Meraki Labs, an early-stage venture capital firm in India; as a strategy consultant at Dalberg Global Advisors; founded and led Impact On The Ground Foundation; worked on international security policy in the United States; and danced professionally.

This multi-disciplinary background shaped Kubo Care’s approach: the company is not only building hardware or software, but a care system that combines technology, empathy, and practical deployment. In building the product, the team spoke with older adults and their families, recognizing a clear tension: families wanted reassurance, while older adults wanted safety without sacrificing privacy. Kubo Care’s answer is a senior-first, privacy-first model of ambient care.

Kubo Care reflects the kind of solution SchwarzVault aims to showcase: a Schwarzman Scholar translating a global problem into a practical, scalable product.

Ageing is not only a healthcare issue; it is a human issue that affects families, institutions, and societies around the world. Kubo Care addresses this challenge by making care more proactive, respectful, and continuous.

The company’s ambition is global. After launching in India, Kubo Care has also begun expanding internationally, including a pilot in Japan, showing how the same need for dignified, privacy-first senior care extends across markets.

Kubo Care is building a future where care is always present, but never intrusive — helping seniors live independently, safely, and with dignity.
