Company profile
researched Sep 2026Early Intervention Systems (EIS) develops JUNIE, a communication platform for senior care and senior living operators. The product replaces notebooks, whiteboards, sticky notes, group texts and verbal handoffs with a structured workflow organized around three steps — read, sign, note — so that staff arriving on a new shift receive information in a consistent format. Messages carry subjects, priority levels and scheduling, and each requires acknowledgment before a shift ends, producing a timestamped record of who was informed and who signed off.
The platform spans clinical and non-clinical departments, connecting CNAs and nursing teams with front desk, dining, housekeeping and administration, in contrast to tools that stop at clinical workflows. Leadership-facing features include a communications log, real-time visibility across teams and sites, and audit-ready records intended to support state, federal and other regulatory requirements and to reduce compliance exposure. EIS also describes customized well-being reports for family members and compliance reports for entities verifying regulatory adherence. The company positions JUNIE against the risk profile of shift handoffs, citing figures that 77% of handoff failures are preventable with a structured communication tool and that communication failures are cited in 49% of malpractice claims, averaging $237,000 per case, per CRICO National Benchmarking.
Founding story
EIS began in 2018 as a student venture at The George Washington University aimed at preventing behavioral outbreaks among patients. CTO and co-founder Rohan Patil recruited Nathalya Ramirez and Krishan Shah to enter the GWU New Venture Competition, which the team won in 2018 for the best medical venture, focused on predicting early-stage agitation in patients to improve outcomes. The founders were motivated by family experiences with inadequate senior care; Ramirez, born in Bogotá, Colombia and a GWU biophysics graduate who taught high school physics for nearly three years, cites her grandmother and her grandmother's caregiver as the reason she moved to EIS full-time.
Business model
EIS sells JUNIE as software to senior care and assisted living operators, engaging prospects through scheduled demos and implementing the product alongside customers' existing systems and workflows rather than replacing them.
Traction
The company reports customer deployments at senior living operators, with an executive director at Springpoint Senior Living Manalapan describing around-the-clock use as the standard for shift changes and an administrator at St. John's Senior Care Services describing a seamless implementation and minute-by-minute data insights. EIS states JUNIE saves 30 minutes per employee per shift. Earlier, the team raised over $60,000 through more than 50 competitions and grants to build its MVP and was accepted into Techstars Chicago Powered by JP Morgan.
Latest developments
In January 2025, investor 367 Ventures published a founder spotlight on co-founder and CEO Nathalya Ramirez covering the company's origins and its stated vision of changing the standard of care across healthcare facilities and empowering healthcare workers through software.

Market position
EIS targets senior living communication workflows and differentiates from tools that address only clinical workflows, citing customers including Springpoint Senior Living Manalapan and St. John's Senior Care Services.
The platform extends structured handoff communication beyond clinical staff to non-clinical departments, enforces acknowledgment of every message, and produces an automatic audit trail without additional staff work, while integrating with incumbent EHR and operations systems instead of replacing them.
Technology
JUNIE is a web-based communications system with a searchable communications log, scheduled and ad-hoc messages, priority flags, add-ons, and mandatory digital sign-offs that automatically generate timestamped compliance records. It integrates with major EHR and senior-living operations platforms, with PointClickCare and ALIS listed as live integrations.
Go-to-market
Direct sales led by demo requests from the company website, supported by named customer references at senior living operators; implementation is handled with the customer's team and layered onto existing EHR workflows.
Senior care and assisted living facilities and their multi-site operators, including executive directors, administrators and leadership, with end users across nursing/CNA, front desk, dining, housekeeping and administrative departments.
Geography
United States, with named customers in New Jersey senior living communities; the company describes senior care customers across the country.
History
After winning the 2018 GWU New Venture Competition, the founding team could not fundraise while enrolled full-time as undergraduates, so it applied to more than 50 startup competitions and grants and raised over $60,000 to build an MVP helping Certified Nursing Aides track activities of daily living. Results from that MVP led to a place in the Techstars Chicago Powered by JP Morgan accelerator, whose mentors helped the company refine customer acquisition and product strategy and attend industry events. The company subsequently focused on the senior living market with the JUNIE communication platform, and was profiled by investor 367 Ventures in January 2025.
