Magic Vision, an Italian DeepTech startup developing AI and computer vision technologies to monitor and support older people and vulnerable individuals, has closed a €600k funding round.
Investors include SixS, the Italian company behind Gecos, a management software platform for the nonprofit sector, alongside a group of Italian business angels with expertise in law, compliance and business development.
“Population ageing is putting pressure on care systems, which must meet growing needs with increasingly limited resources and staff. Technology can make a practical contribution by enabling continuous monitoring and timely intervention when needed,” says Lorenzo Mauri, co-founder and CEO of Magic Vision.
Magic Vision’s funding comes alongside several European investments in technology-enabled care during 2026.
Germany’s Patronus raised €11 million for its elderly emergency-response technology, while Spain’s Tucuvi secured €17 million for AI-powered nursing follow-up and Portugal’s Hope Care closed a €6 million round for remote patient monitoring.
Together with Magic Vision, these account for approximately €34.6 million in funding. In Italy, Rome-based VoiceMed reported reaching €1 million in cumulative funding for its device-free respiratory monitoring technology.
“Wearable devices, emergency buttons and other available systems had significant limitations. We therefore decided to use our expertise in artificial intelligence to develop technology capable of recognising risks without requiring a person to wear a device or call for help,” adds Federico Lanzani, co-founder and CTO of Magic Vision.
Magic Vision is an Italian startup founded in 2023 by six co-founders with expertise in AI and computer vision. Based in Meda, in the province of Monza and Brianza, it develops Silver Eye, an environmental monitoring system for older people and vulnerable individuals, designed to support their independence and assist families and care professionals.
Silver Eye uses proprietary AI and computer vision algorithms to analyse people’s activity and rest patterns , identify behavioural anomalies and detect critical events such as falls. Operating through environmental sensors without wearable devices, the system enable individual behavioural monitoring even in dynamic, shared settings, including senior living facilities, cohousing and private homes.
The technology is designed to protect privacy: data is processed locally using edge AI, without storing or transmitting images. Rather than functioning as a video surveillance system, it analyses the information needed to identify potential risks, alerting caregivers only when necessary.
The aim is to support prevention and help older people maintain their independence, providing technology for care models ranging from shared housing and home care to traditional residential and nursing care facilities.
During its growth journey, the startup has benefited from incubation at PoliHub and support from ComoNExT’s NExT Accelerator and Paradigma Exponential Hub , which helped connect the founders with investors. It has also received a €30k award from the Milan Monza Brianza Lodi Chamber of Commerce through the Switch2Product programme.
The funding has enabled Magic Vision to complete development and bring Silver Eye to market.
Already deployed in pilot and commercial projects with Italian care providers, Silver Eye has more than 200 sensors installed, with a target of monitoring over 100 people by the end of 2026.
“The idea for Silver Eye came from a personal experience: when my grandfather fell and remained on the floor for an entire day, I started looking for a solution that could prevent something similar from happening again,” says Federico.
The company is also preparing a €1.5 million funding round to accelerate commercial growth, build a network of partners and distributors across Italy, and begin its European expansion, with the aim of securing its first international customer within 24 months.
