§ Private Profile · CA, USA
RayIoT Solutions Inc. is a technology company.
RayIoT Solutions Inc. develops artificial intelligence-driven, non-contact health monitoring technology that utilizes Wi-Fi and radar signals to track vital signs. Its primary offering, AL, is a software solution that transforms standard smart devices into breathing trackers. The company also provides the Ruah mobile app, and its technology facilitates invisible, continuous monitoring of breathing rates and movement patterns.
The company was co-founded by Ranjana Nair, Aardra Kannan Ambili, and Sanchi Poovaya. Their foundational insight recognized the critical yet often-neglected importance of breathing rates for wellness, initially applied to non-invasive baby monitoring with their raybaby product launched in 2018. This focus informed their subsequent development of broader health-monitoring solutions.
RayIoT's solutions serve consumers, smart device manufacturers, and developers, enabling them to integrate sophisticated breathing data for various applications. The company’s vision centers on embedding invisible health intelligence into everyday life, providing proactive insights for exercise efficacy, mental well-being, and early health alerts, ultimately fostering a more informed approach to personal health.

RayIoT Solutions Inc. develops non-contact health monitoring devices and software using AI, radar, and Wi-Fi signals to track respiration rates and sleep patterns without wearables. Its flagship product, raybaby, is a baby monitor that detects breathing irregularities associated with fever or other conditions, serving parents and caregivers concerned about infant safety; it solves the problem of invasive monitoring by offering 98% accurate, contactless tracking via radio waves, integrated video, and audio features.[1][2][3][5] The company has expanded to products like AL (a Wi-Fi software patch for smart devices) and Ruah (a mobile app for personal breathing monitoring), targeting broader consumer wellness and healthcare applications, with growth evidenced by clinical validations, awards from CES and JPMA in 2018, and deployments in neonatal ICUs during COVID.[2][5]
Founded in 2017 in Bangalore, India (with operations in San Francisco), RayIoT Solutions emerged from the vision of three engineers: Ranjana Nair (CEO & Co-Founder), Sanchi Poovaya (COO & Co-Founder), and Aardra Kannan Ambili (CTO & Co-Founder), who brought over 8 years of experience in sensor technology.[1][2][3] The idea stemmed from innovating non-invasive respiration monitoring—focusing on breathing rate rather than pulse or heart rate—leading to raybaby's development around 2016-2018 with support from HAX (SOSV's hard tech program) and Johnson & Johnson.[1][2][4][5] Early traction included Wired naming it a must-have gadget, CNN highlighting it as a top holiday tech gift, and clinical trials amassing 7 billion breathing instances and 1,000+ hours of neonatal ICU data for 98% accuracy.[2]
RayIoT rides the wave of AI-enabled digital health and contactless IoT monitoring, accelerated by COVID-era demands for remote patient tech and non-wearable wellness tools amid rising parental anxiety and chronic respiratory conditions like asthma.[2][5] Timing aligns with maturing edge AI, Wi-Fi 6/7 proliferation, and healthcare shifts toward predictive analytics in homes/ICUs, where market forces favor scalable, low-cost solutions over hardware-heavy wearables.[2] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering respiration-focused sensing (pioneering non-contact baby tech), enabling partners like hospitals for neonatal monitoring, and democratizing health data via software patches for everyday devices.[2][5]
RayIoT is poised to scale AL and Ruah into mainstream healthcare and consumer apps, leveraging its vast breathing dataset for expansions into adult sleep apnea, asthma management, or eldercare amid aging populations. Trends like ambient computing, Wi-Fi sensing standards, and AI health regulations will shape its path, potentially amplifying influence through OEM integrations or telehealth partnerships. As non-contact monitoring evolves from niche to essential, RayIoT's respiration expertise positions it to redefine invisible health guardians, building on raybaby's proven consumer hook.[2][5]
