Sensi.AI Brings Care Intelligence to SYNERGY HomeCare Franchisees Nationwide

Published

on

Sensi becomes a preferred partner for SYNERGY HomeCare, empowering franchisees nationwide to deliver superior senior care, eliminate burnout, and scale with a unified AI OS platform fueled by Care Intelligence.

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sensi.AI, leader in care intelligence, today announced a preferred partnership with SYNERGY HomeCare, one of the nation’s fastest-growing franchised home care providers. The partnership brings Sensi’s AI OS platform to SYNERGY’s network of more than 250 franchisees across 625 locations, connecting care, operations, and growth into a single intelligent workflow, freeing agencies to focus on what matters most, delivering superior care.

Addressing the Industry’s Greatest Challenges
Agencies across the country are wrestling with disconnected tools, rising caregiver burnout, and limited visibility into the seniors in their care. Care teams spend hours on manual coordination instead of delivering proactive care. Seniors remain vulnerable to undetected health changes that lead to costly, avoidable hospitalizations. Sensi was built to solve exactly these problems, delivering smarter care for seniors and sustainable operations for the agencies serving them.

A Partnership Built for Success
SYNERGY franchisees are already seeing meaningful results. With round-the-clock audio-based care intelligence operating in seniors’ homes, agencies gain the visibility to intervene early, adjust care plans proactively, and demonstrate measurable outcomes to clients and families, driving stronger retention, higher satisfaction, and accelerated growth.

As Alan Wikman, owner of SYNERGY HomeCare Prescott Valley, puts it: “Most people in this industry are in it for the care. With Sensi, now they’re going to be able to do what they really love – impact people’s lives.”

“We deeply understand the challenges the aging population faces and know the human factor in caring is crucial. Elevating caregivers and care teams, freeing them from mundane work, and arming them with insights is why we partnered with Sensi.AI. Their unified solution and leadership understand home care.” — Chad Ainsworth, Chief Administrative Officer and CFO, SYNERGY HomeCare

“SYNERGY’s franchisees are passionate about exceptional care. Our platform gives them the intelligence, automation, and visibility to deliver that at scale, without burning out their teams or losing sight of the seniors who depend on them.” — Romi Gubes, CEO and Co-Founder, Sensi.AI

Real-World Impact
The enthusiasm is spreading across the network. Sarah Burkhardt at SYNERGY HomeCare Bloomington has seen firsthand what this level of visibility into care needs means in practice.

Sensi fills the gaps that no care schedule can. Sarah stated, “If somebody had a caregiver in the home just two days a week, they’re still five days a week without care there. If they had a fall and the caregiver wasn’t going to be there for those days, potentially they’re going to be on that floor for that long. With Sensi, we don’t have to worry about that. I want every Synergy location to start using Sensi.”

Sarah embedded Sensi into her agency’s lead intake forms so every new client inquiry mentions Sensi from the first call. She launched lunch-and-learns with her local offices to get their staff excited and then extended them to caregivers. 

Alan Wikman from Prescott Valley has seen Sensi transform care in ways that would have been impossible before.

One case: a 99-year-old widower living alone. Sensi detected he was spending 65% of his day watching television – a signal of deep isolation. Alan’s team redesigned his care plan around meaningful engagement: park outings, ice cream runs, purposeful visits. “Without Sensi, we wouldn’t have been able to get that information from him.”

Another one is a bedbound senior in an assisted living facility receiving only a few hours of care every other day. Late one night, Sensi detected her calling out for help with no caregiver present. Alan’s team alerted her power of attorney, identified that nights were her hardest moments, and added overnight shifts. “The amount of comfort it gave her is something you just can’t put any sort of reward on. It was an absolutely beautiful thing.”

About Sensi.AI
Sensi.AI is THE agentic operating system for care providers, built for the care teams who are burning out, the coordinators running blind, and the seniors who deserve better than a system held together by exhausted people doing their best.

When the care layer knows a senior’s patterns, the ops layer makes smarter staffing decisions. When the ops layer runs smoothly, the growth layer enables providers to serve more seniors who deserve care. That is the power of Sensi’s care intelligence, trained with years of real care data.

The results speak for themselves: Armed with 100+ care-related insights, agencies using Sensi reduce hospitalizations by an average of 22% and double the length of service. Sensi is HIPAA compliant and supports more than 80 percent of the largest home care networks in North America. For more information, visit sensi.ai.

IronSpark is a new creative studio focused on animation, game development, and interactive experiences.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Storytelling has a new home in Birmingham, Alabama, with the launch of IronSpark Studios, a creative media company focused on animation, game development, and interactive experiences. Guided by its mission to build stories that engage, excite, and entertain, IronSpark Studios develops original and client-driven intellectual property and digital experiences.

Production is shifting away from traditional big studios and moving rapidly toward independent creators and agile, small studios. Founded on the belief that world-class creative belongs in Birmingham, IronSpark Studios collaborates with local creatives, businesses and organizations while working to attract animation, game development and interactive media production to the region.

“Our vision is to create experiences that inspire audiences, spark imagination and leave a lasting impact,” said Brass Bralley, co-founder and managing director. “We believe Birmingham is a place where creative talent can grow, collaborate and help shape the future of storytelling.”

The studio operates through three divisions—Animation, Games and Interactive—creating content for film, commercial projects, video games, immersive exhibits and emerging digital experiences.

IronSpark Studios is partnering with clients and intellectual property owners while developing original projects of its own, helping bring more animation, game development, and interactive media production to Birmingham.

“I’ve chosen to build many businesses in the Birmingham ecosystem, and the choice to build IronSpark here was a simple one,” said Mazi Rasulnia, co-founder and consulting partner.  “Birmingham has a vibrant community of innovators and creators, and IronSpark will be a great addition.”

Among those projects is its first original animated short film, The Purple Sky Peanut Butter Club. Based on a true story of heroism and sacrifice, the dialogue-free animated short explores the power of small traditions and their ability to provide healing through grief and transcend generations.

“The stories we create are meant to connect people,” said Wink Winkler, co-founder and head of creative. “Whether that’s through film, series, a video game or an interactive experience, at the end of the day, the story is at the heart of everything we create.”
