2025 NWI Society of Innovators Award
We’re thrilled to announce that our Founder and CEO, Sean Liu, has been selected as a recipient of the 2025 Innovators Awards by the Society of Innovators at Purdue Northwest. This prestigious honor highlights Sean’s leadership in building PingCares, evolving from a smartwatch for his grandmother, Ping, to one designed specifically for older adults, combining safety, wellness and connection in one simple device.
Sean’s journey began with a deep personal and professional commitment to helping seniors live with independence and security. Over four years of development, PingCares has evolved from a B2B solution into a direct-to-consumer model, reaching tens of thousands of older adults and their families. This award underscores our team’s dedication to bridging technology and aging-in-place needs, and to redefining what “connected living” means for seniors. We invite you to watch Sean’s Innovators Award highlight video and hear in his own words why this mission matters: for seniors, caregivers, and communities alike.
