Norbert Health

Norbert Health is an AI-driven care automation company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. It deploys autonomous mobile robots equipped with contactless, medical-grade monitoring in post-acute care settings, including nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities and senior care providers across the United States. The company's stated aim is to address the nursing shortage by reducing manual effort for clinical staff and enabling proactive, preventive care for elderly and chronically ill patients.

Its flagship product, the Norbert system, converts standard wheeled robots into intelligent care assistants through a proprietary physical AI and medical-grade module. The system autonomously rounds on patients, captures vital signs without contact, measures mobility and activity, conducts cognitive and behavioural assessments, documents directly to EMR systems and escalates clinical alerts when anomalies are detected. The monitoring module fuses multimodal inputs - computer vision, voice and speech processing, radar, infrared and camera sensors - to deliver real-time patient insights without wearables.

The engineering work spans physical AI, multimodal AI, robotics, sensor fusion and clinical software, including EMR integration and clinical decision support. Norbert Health holds FDA clearance for contactless capture of pulse and respiratory rate, with additional vital signs in the regulatory pipeline.
