California AI Company Zemplee earns three finalist recognitions in the 2026 McKnight’s Tech Awards for senior care

LOS GATOS, CA, UNITED STATES, August 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Zemplee is honored to be named a finalist in three categories of the 2026 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards.

The long-running program honors providers and marketplace players that demonstrate how technology has improved care and operations. This year, Gold, Silver and Bronze awards will be granted across 14 total categories, which include two brand-new additions — Creative Use of AI and Tech Champion.

Zemplee’s three finalist recognitions in the 2026 McKnight's Tech Awards: Falls Prevention, Management or Detection, for its work with St. John Lutheran Community; and both Resident/Patient Monitoring and Safety and the new Creative Use of AI category, for its Nursing Homes Without Walls partnership with Windsor Place At-Home Care.

“Being recognized once would be an honor. Being recognized three times, across three different judging criteria, tells us the underlying technology holds up no matter how you evaluate it,” said Aparna Pujar, co-founder and CEO of Zemplee. “That's exactly the bar operators, payers, and families should be holding every AI vendor in this space to.”

The McKnight Tech Awards is a joint effort of McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, McKnight’s Senior Living, and McKnight’s Home Care.

“As technology becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, its influence on senior care continues to grow,” said McKnight’s Publisher Brian O’Rourke. “McKnight’s annual Tech Awards + Summit celebrates the leaders at the forefront of this evolution. It’s a great way to celebrate excellent work and to spotlight innovations shaping the future of aging services.”

The recognition will be part of a two-day virtual event on September 15 + 16, which will include tech-focused educational webinars and conclude with the unveiling of the winners at a gala awards ceremony. Nominations were judged by an independent, external panel of industry experts.
