Boilerplate

Describe us this way.

One sentence

Arqaios, Inc. (Chicago) builds ALLIE, camera-free sensing fixtures that detect falls, sense presence and manage room energy in senior living and hotels. CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree.

Full boilerplate

Arqaios, Inc. is a Chicago-based technology company building ALLIE, a fixture-native sensing platform that embeds privacy-first 60 GHz mmWave radar, acoustic sensing and edge AI into standard light switches, power outlets and HVAC vents. ALLIE delivers camera-free fall detection, resident and guest safety, and occupancy-based energy reduction for senior living communities and hotels, with no cameras and no wearables. Arqaios is a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree and a Residential Systems 2026 Picks Award winner and holds issued U.S. patents on its technology.

Style notes

  • The company is Arqaios, legally Arqaios, Inc. The product is ALLIE, written in capitals, or ALLIE by Arqaios on first mention.
  • ALLIE is a sensing platform built into fixtures, not a camera system and not a wearable. Say camera-free, not camera-based.
  • The radar band is 60 GHz mmWave. Processing happens on the device; events, not recordings, leave the room.
  • Markets: senior living (assisted living, memory care, independent living) and hotels. Headquarters: Chicago, Illinois.

Fact sheet

ALLIE at a glance.

Product
ALLIE by Arqaios, a family of three sensing fixtures: the ALLIE Switch, the ALLIE Outlet and the ALLIE Vent.
Company
Arqaios, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA. Founder and CEO: Bruce Ross.
What it does
Camera-free fall detection, presence and occupancy sensing, distress and after-hours intrusion detection, and occupancy-based control of lighting, plug loads and HVAC.
Sensing
60 GHz mmWave radar (presence, position, posture, gait trends and physiological motion such as breathing), acoustic event sensing, ambient light and environmental sensors.
Where processing happens
On the device, inside the fixture. Presence, activity, fall and distress classification run at the edge.
What leaves the room
Events and summaries such as 'room occupied', 'fall detected in bathroom' or 'entry after hours', with room, severity and status. No video, no audio recordings, no raw sensor streams.
Cameras and wearables
None. No image sensor exists in any ALLIE fixture, and residents and guests wear nothing.
Markets
Senior living (assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing), hotels and extended stay.
Installation
Replaces standard switches, receptacles and supply-air registers in the same boxes and openings, on normal building power. Designed for retrofit and continuous operation.
Patents
U.S. Patent No. 12,282,307 (communication-enabled power management systems) and U.S. Patent No. 12,444,291 (smart fixture system with integrated sensors for emergency detection and response), assigned to Arqaios, Inc., with further applications pending.
