Episode 14 - Fundraising Founder: Femke Delissen- PAVA
In this episode of AtVenture Dealflow, host Laurie Lancee speaks with Femke Delissen, co-founder of PAVA, an Amsterdam-based HealthTech startup using privacy friendly WiFi based motion sensing to support elderly care.
Healthcare systems face a structural crisis driven by an ageing population and severe staff shortages. While motion monitoring can significantly improve care quality and efficiency, existing solutions are often invasive, expensive or poorly integrated into daily workflows.
PAVA introduces a non invasive WiFi based sensing layer that translates movement into real time insights on activity, safety and lifestyle patterns without cameras or wearables. The solution helps care teams reduce unnecessary checks, prevent incidents such as wandering or falls and deliver more dignified care.
Founded by three AI graduates, PAVA bridges proven WiFi sensing technology with the realities of elderly care workflows. The company focuses on being a universal sensing layer that integrates seamlessly via APIs into existing healthcare systems.
