  "account": "Magic Vision, an Italian DeepTech startup founded in 2023, has secured €600,000 in funding for its innovative Silver Eye monitoring system. The AI and computer vision technology is designed to support older people and vulnerable individuals, monitoring their activity and rest patterns to identify potential risks, such as falls, without requiring a wearable device or constant human intervention.\n\nInvestors in the round include SixS, a company behind Gecos, a management software platform for the nonprofit sector, and a group of Italian business angels with expertise in law, compliance, and business development. The funding comes on the heels of several European investments in technology-enabled care throughout 2026, totaling around €34.6 million.\n\nMagic Vision's co-founders, Federico Lanzani and Lorenzo Mauri, are inspired by a personal experience when their grandfather fell and remained on the floor for a day. This led them to develop Silver Eye, a system that operates through environmental sensors without wearable devices, processing data locally to protect privacy. The technology aims to support prevention and help older people maintain their independence while providing care models for various settings.\n\nWith the newly secured funding, Magic Vision plans to complete development, deploy Silver Eye in market-ready projects with Italian care providers, and expand its European presence. The startup aims to secure its first international customer within 24 months.",
