Honor

Home care technology and operations platform for aging care. Honor licenses the Honor Care Platform to independently owned home care agencies (the Honor Care Network) and, since its 2021 acquisition of Home Instead, owns the world's largest home care franchise network. The AI does caregiver to client matching and scheduling: the CEO has stated more than 20 distinct AI algorithms run in the Home Instead network, modeling caregiver motivations across many dimensions to fill shifts and improve retention. This record covers the B2B platform licensed to agencies, not the consumer facing care service.

AI is the scaling mechanism of the operations platform: the CEO states more than 20 distinct interoperating AI algorithms run in the network, doing caregiver to client matching and scheduling. Held back from A because the deliverable is a home care operations service in which AI optimizes matching rather than being the product a buyer purchases outright.
