Coordinated APOLLO (AAL product family using indoor location technology) and contributed to CAPTAIN (coaching assistant via projected interfaces).
NIVELY
French SME developing consumer-grade assisted living products and digital health tools for elderly chronic and palliative care.
Their core work
NIVELY is a French technology SME based in Nice that develops ambient assisted living (AAL) products and digital coaching tools for elderly care. Their work centers on indoor location technologies, projected interfaces, and smart environments that help older adults manage chronic conditions and maintain independence. They bridge consumer-grade assistive technology with clinical health pathways, contributing product development and deployment expertise to EU research consortia focused on aging populations.
What they specialise in
APOLLO focused on indoor location tech for older adults; CAPTAIN developed tangible and projected interface systems for coaching.
Participated in INADVANCE, focused on early palliative care identification for complex chronic conditions in older people.
Both APOLLO and CAPTAIN targeted consumer-accessible technology products rather than lab-stage prototypes.
How they've shifted over time
NIVELY began with a focus on smart home and security-adjacent technology for older adults, coordinating the APOLLO project on consumer-grade indoor location products (2017-2018). Their involvement then shifted toward health applications — first through CAPTAIN's coaching interfaces, then into clinical territory with INADVANCE's palliative care pathways (2019-2023). This trajectory shows a clear move from assistive technology hardware toward integrated health and care solutions for aging populations.
NIVELY is moving from building assistive living devices toward contributing to integrated digital health ecosystems for elderly chronic and palliative care.
How they like to work
NIVELY operates as both a consortium leader and a contributing partner — they coordinated one project (APOLLO) and joined two others as a participant. With 25 unique partners across 13 countries from just 3 projects, they engage in large, diverse consortia rather than small, tight-knit teams. This suggests they are comfortable working in multi-national settings and can adapt to different consortium structures.
NIVELY has built a broad European network of 25 partners across 13 countries through just 3 projects, indicating engagement in large multi-national consortia. Their base in southern France (Nice) does not constrain their collaboration geography.
What sets them apart
NIVELY occupies a niche at the intersection of consumer technology and elderly healthcare — they are not a research lab studying aging, nor a pure tech company ignoring clinical needs. Their strength lies in translating research concepts into deployable, consumer-grade products for older adults. For consortium builders, they offer an SME partner that can handle product-oriented work packages in aging and digital health projects.
Highlights from their portfolio
- CAPTAINLargest funding (EUR 384,959) and most technically ambitious — developing projected and tangible coaching interfaces for health, spanning 4 years.
- APOLLONIVELY's only coordinated project, demonstrating their capacity to lead a consortium around consumer-grade assisted living products.
- INADVANCEMarks NIVELY's entry into clinical health territory — palliative care pathways — signaling a strategic expansion beyond assistive technology.
