Beena builds proactive AI that initiates care, checking in, reminding, supporting, and connecting through the messaging apps people already use. Because the people who need help the most are often the least likely to ask for it.
One in three adults reports chronic loneliness. Over 2 billion people worldwide live with a vision impairment. Mental health conditions affect nearly one billion people globally, and every three seconds, someone develops dementia. These are not edge cases. They are among the defining public health crises of our time.
And yet, the most powerful AI systems in the world still operate the same way: you go to them, you type a prompt, you wait for a response. They are reactive by design. But the people facing these crises, the isolated, the visually impaired, the anxious, the cognitively declining, are often the ones least equipped or likely to seek help on their own.
Beena was founded on a question that changes everything: What if AI came to you? What if it checked in on your mood before you spiraled? Reminded you of your medication before you forgot? Started a conversation before loneliness settled in? Helped you navigate your computer without needing to see a screen?
Our AI doesn't live in a chatbot window or a standalone app. It reaches you through iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord, the messaging platforms that are already part of your daily life. No new tools to learn. No barriers to entry. Just care, delivered proactively.
This isn't AI for productivity. This is AI for humanity.
The people who need help the most are often the least likely to ask for it. We built AI that doesn't wait to be asked.The founding principle of Beena Technology
Each application is built on Beena's proprietary multi-layered agentic LLM architecture, delivered through the messaging apps people use every day, and designed to proactively reach out. Never waiting to be prompted.
A voice-driven AI personal assistant purpose-built for visually impaired individuals. Connect NousAI to your computer, speak through Siri or Android voice commands, and let it handle the rest: sending emails, booking restaurants, managing calendars, ordering online, and more. NousAI also proactively reaches out to check in on you, ensuring you're never without support.
An AI companion that reaches out to you, starting conversations, checking in, and providing genuine connection. Designed to combat the devastating effects of loneliness before isolation takes hold.
A mental health AI that checks in on your emotional wellbeing through your preferred messaging app. It provides support, resources, and a consistent caring presence, available 24/7 and always learning how best to help you.
An AI designed for individuals with memory impairment that proactively reminds them of medications, appointments, names, routines, and daily essentials, through the familiar messaging apps they already know.
Every design decision at Beena starts with one question: how do we make AI reach the people who need it, rather than requiring them to come find it?

Every product addresses a real, pressing health challenge, backed by research and built with clinical insight.
With experience spanning both clinical and non-clinical research at Vancouver General Hospital and the University of British Columbia, Shawn brings a rare combination of medical insight and technical ability to Beena Technology. A self-taught programmer with deep roots in healthcare research, he developed both the clinical understanding and the engineering skills needed to bridge the gap between patient needs and technological solutions. Through direct work with patients in both patient-facing and clinical research settings, he learned firsthand that empathy, accessibility, and proactive care are not luxuries, but necessities.
His hands-on experience building software, combined with a dedication to improving health outcomes, gave him a unique vantage point on the critical gaps in how technology serves vulnerable populations: the lonely, the visually impaired, those struggling with mental health, and individuals facing cognitive decline. Beena Technology represents his answer to these challenges, a company where he personally architects the AI systems designed not to wait for people to ask for help, but to reach out and offer it.
Beyond Beena, Shawn continues to advance the intersection of AI and medicine through ongoing research, partnering with healthcare professionals and scientists on studies exploring how artificial intelligence can be responsibly and compassionately integrated into public health systems worldwide.
