Why Cicada

Two products, one consent standard.

Cicada builds health-data tools around consent. Sense monitors older adults at home; Ethos lets researchers license that data with the contributor’s permission and pays them for it.

Consent

You decide what’s shared.

Consent is granular, revocable, and time-bounded. Withdraw in one tap and your data leaves active research. We never sell raw data or share your identity.

Compliance

Audit-ready by default.

Designed for HIPAA-aligned workflows and IRB-ready consent capture. Every data point carries a verifiable consent trail. SOC 2 and BAA programs are in development.

Impact

Your data pays you back.

Continuous, high-frequency in-home data reaches the researchers who need it, and contributors receive a monthly payment for sharing it.

The shape of the problem

America is aging in place.

Tens of millions of older Americans live alone and want to stay in their own homes. Cicada serves the families caring for them and the researchers studying how they age.
