An international recognition for AI-powered healthcare innovation
Organized by Nebius, the AI Discovery Awards highlight startups using artificial intelligence to transform healthcare and life sciences across several categories, including BioPharma, Genomics, Digital Health, Medical Devices, and Medical Imaging.
For the 2026 edition, NestSentinel first advanced to the semifinal stage in the Medical Devices category, ranking among the top 30% of global applications. Following the final judging process, the project was selected to receive an Honorable Mention, confirming its position among the Top 10 projects in its category.
For NestSentinel, this recognition reflects the growing relevance of its mission: using artificial intelligence to help protect seniors and vulnerable people while preserving privacy, dignity, and independence.
Medical Devices: real-time AI for connected care environments
The Medical Devices category focuses on innovations enabling real-time AI for connected medical equipment and intelligent bedside systems.
This positioning strongly resonates with the architecture developed by NestSentinel. Its solution combines non-intrusive sensors, embedded artificial intelligence, a local Edge AI gateway, and a secure platform to help detect risk situations earlier â without video cameras, without bracelets, and without requiring any action from the resident.
Designed for homes, care facilities, nursing homes, and medical-social environments, NestSentinel aims to support better risk prevention by identifying events such as falls, calls for help, prolonged immobility, early-stage fire risks, carbon monoxide emissions, and other safety-related situations.
Watch over, without watching.
At the heart of NestSentinelâs approach is a clear conviction: safety technologies must support care without compromising human dignity.
Unlike traditional video-based monitoring systems or wearable alert devices, NestSentinel is designed to operate discreetly in the living environment. Its Edge AI architecture allows sensitive signals to be analyzed locally, reducing unnecessary data transfers and helping preserve the privacy of the people being protected.
This approach reflects the companyâs founding promise: watch over, without watching.
A new milestone in NestSentinelâs international journey
This Top 10 recognition comes during a key period for NestSentinel.
Over the past few weeks, the company has also been recognized in major innovation ecosystems, including VivaTech 2026 and the European âIA avec nousâ Summit in Lille, where Pierre Marmignon, President and Co-founder of NestSentinel, presented the companyâs vision for concrete, useful, and sovereign AI.
Being recognized by the Nebius AI Discovery Awards reinforces NestSentinelâs ambition to contribute to the next generation of AI-powered healthcare and prevention technologies: intelligent, privacy-first, field-oriented, and designed around real human needs.
NestSentinel has also been invited to attend the awards ceremony in London on July 1st to receive this distinction.
