Homni

Homni is building HomniScan, an AI tool that turns photos of a room into structured home accessibility assessments for occupational therapists and care teams. From uploaded images it flags hazards with clinical context, generates reports aligned to standards like ADA/CSA B651, matches products with transparent costs, and surfaces eligible funding programmes such as ADP, HATC and METC.

Ageing-in-place is straining care systems, and home assessments today are fragmented across multiple tools and manual paperwork. A photo-based workflow that also handles funding applications targets the documentation grind that slows OTs and care funders down.

The company says it's tackling the gap between spotting a home risk and actually getting the modification funded and installed — a process notorious for delays. Founded in 2026 by Gamaliel Romualdo, Homni is still early and pre-funding.

It's a solo-founder, pre-funding effort at this stage, so the proof will be in execution. What stands out is the depth of the workflow being addressed: hazard detection, standards-aligned reporting, funding navigation, a vetted contractor network, and equipment fulfilment, all designed around healthcare privacy rules like PHIPA and PIPEDA.
