Meet the team.

    Casana was founded over 10 years ago by Nick Conn during his PhD research at the Rochester Institute of Technology. What started as a research question and a prototype has become a decade of clinical research with over 5,000 subjects, all in pursuit of one goal: making it possible to passively capture vital signs at home and help our loved ones age in place.
