What they do

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.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

Ambient assisted living productsprimary
2 projects

Coordinated APOLLO (AAL product family using indoor location technology) and contributed to CAPTAIN (coaching assistant via projected interfaces).

Indoor location and projected interface technologiesprimary
2 projects

APOLLO focused on indoor location tech for older adults; CAPTAIN developed tangible and projected interface systems for coaching.

Palliative and chronic care pathwaysemerging
1 project

Participated in INADVANCE, focused on early palliative care identification for complex chronic conditions in older people.

Consumer-grade health technologysecondary
2 projects

Both APOLLO and CAPTAIN targeted consumer-accessible technology products rather than lab-stage prototypes.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Assisted living technology products
Recent focus
Patient-centred elderly care pathways

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.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: active_partnerReach: European13 countries collaborated

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.

Why partner with them

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.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • CAPTAIN
    Largest funding (EUR 384,959) and most technically ambitious — developing projected and tangible coaching interfaces for health, spanning 4 years.
  • APOLLO
    NIVELY's only coordinated project, demonstrating their capacity to lead a consortium around consumer-grade assisted living products.
  • INADVANCE
    Marks NIVELY's entry into clinical health territory — palliative care pathways — signaling a strategic expansion beyond assistive technology.

Analysis note: Profile based on only 3 projects with limited keyword data. APOLLO and CAPTAIN had no keywords in the dataset, so expertise inference relies heavily on project titles and descriptions. The small funding amount for INADVANCE (EUR 18,598) suggests a minor role in that consortium. No website available for verification.
