California AI Company Zemplee Wins Two Gold Awards in the 2026 McKnight’s Tech Awards for Senior Care

Startup AI company takes Gold in Creative Use of AI and Resident/Patient Monitoring and Safety; also named a finalist in Falls Prevention

LOS GATOS, CA, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Zemplee won Gold in two categories at the 2026 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards: Creative Use of AI and Resident/Patient Monitoring and Safety, both recognizing its Nursing Homes Without Walls partnership with Windsor Place At-Home Care. The company was also a finalist in Falls Prevention, Management or Detection, for its work with St. John Lutheran Community.

The long-running program honors providers and marketplace players that demonstrate how technology has improved care and operations. This year, Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards were granted across 14 total categories, including two brand-new additions — Creative Use of AI and Tech Champion.

Zemplee’s recognitions:
Gold, Creative Use of AI, for its Nursing Homes Without Walls partnership with Windsor Place At-Home Care
Gold, Resident/Patient Monitoring and Safety, also for the Nursing Homes Without Walls partnership with Windsor Place At-Home Care
Finalist, Falls Prevention, Management or Detection, for its work with St. John Lutheran Community

“Gold wins in two categories, including McKnight’s newest category, means the judges saw something genuinely different in how we approached this problem. Nursing Homes Without Walls asks a bigger question than most senior care tech does — not just how do we monitor someone, but how do we extend the walls of care itself. I’m proud the industry is recognizing that, and for Zemplee to be at the forefront,” said Aparna Pujar, co-founder and CEO of Zemplee.

The McKnight’s Tech Awards is a joint effort of McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, McKnight’s Senior Living, and McKnight’s Home Care.

“As technology becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, its influence on senior care continues to grow,” said McKnight’s Publisher Brian O’Rourke. “McKnight’s annual Tech Awards + Summit celebrates the leaders at the forefront of this evolution. It’s a great way to celebrate excellent work and to spotlight innovations shaping the future of aging services.”

The awards were announced during a two-day virtual event on September 15 and 16, which included tech-focused educational webinars and concluded with a gala awards ceremony. Nominations were judged by an independent, external panel of industry experts.
