Built for peace of mind
Created to support people, quietly and reliably.
Why we exist
Pontosense was founded on a simple belief:
technology should support people, not watch them, burden them, or get in the way of everyday life.
We build sensing systems that work quietly in the background, helping families and care teams understand when something changes, while preserving privacy, dignity, and independence for the people at the centre of care.
​
Our work sits at the intersection of deep technical expertise and real human need. That balance guides every decision we make, from how our products are designed to how they’re deployed in real homes.
Turning Belief into Reality
From the beginning, Pontosense has been built with a clear standard: our technology must perform reliably in the real world, not just in controlled environments.
That commitment shaped how we design, test, and deploy our sensing systems in real homes and care environments. Precision, consistency, and resilience are not features. They are requirements. Especially when technology is supporting people in moments that matter.
By combining deep engineering expertise with a human-first philosophy, we build systems that families and care teams can trust over time. Systems designed to fade into the background, while delivering insight when it truly counts.
Our Technology Foundation
Pontosense is built on uncommon technical depth.
Wireless Sensing Expertise
Yihong Qi, our CTO and co-founder, is one of the world’s most accomplished leaders in wireless sensing and electromagnetic systems. An early technology leader at BlackBerry, he has since co-founded and led multiple successful technology companies.
600+ Patents & Fellowships
Yihong is the inventor on more than 600 patents and a Fellow of both the National Academy of Inventors and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. His work has helped define how modern wireless technologies are designed, tested, and trusted at scale.
IEEE & Academic Leadership
Beyond industry, Yihong is deeply engaged in academia and standards leadership, serving as an adjunct professor at multiple universities and holding long-standing leadership roles within IEEE, including recognition as a Distinguished Industry Leader.
