Caryfy Sàrl, in Epalinges (Vaud, Switzerland), is adapting Caryfy’s Autonomous Care OS to Swiss-French home care on Apertus, the open-source model from EPFL, ETH Zurich and CSCS. The system already runs the office work of 130+ home-care agencies in the United States, with a person confirming anything that matters. We start with independent nurses.
130+ agencies run on CareBravo in the United States (October 2026).
Our first engineering position in the canton opens in 2027.
Simulated visits only. No client data.
Apertus is open in full: weights, training-data recipe and documentation. In care, being able to show what a model was built from is not a detail.
Apertus was trained on more than 1,000 languages, with about 40% of its data not in English. Swiss care is given in French, German and Italian, by a workforce that speaks many more.
Swiss expectations for care quality and data protection are high. We would rather meet them first than adapt to them later. What holds here travels.
In Swiss nursing homes, 37% of care workers report spending two hours or more a day on administration (Ausserhofer et al., BMC Geriatrics, 2023). Measuring the equivalent for home care in Vaud is part of this work.
Focus groups, shadowing and simulated visits with home-care professionals in Vaud. Eight weeks, paid for by Caryfy, on simulated data only.
A Swiss-French evaluation set for visit notes. We compare prompting, retrieval and adaptation of Apertus, and report which one earns its place.
A 12-month deployment with independent nurses and a home-care organisation in Vaud. What we measure is the administrative time given back.
Steps 02 and 03 are planned for 2027 and depend on partner and funding agreements still in discussion.
Nothing is filed until someone says yes.
Cary never signs. Her flags are prompts for a nurse’s judgment, never findings.
In the Vaud project, care records stay on Swiss hosting and are not used for training.
Caryfy Sàrl is adapting Cary, the assistant inside Caryfy’s Autonomous Care OS, to Swiss-French home care. The work is done in Epalinges, in the canton of Vaud, on Apertus, the open-source language model from EPFL, ETH Zurich and CSCS. It starts with independent nurses and simulated visits.
One system underneath a home-care organisation’s separate tools. Information is entered once, by a tap or a spoken note. AI agents then do the office work that follows, and a person confirms anything that moves money or changes care. In the United States, Caryfy’s system is called CareBravo.
Apertus is open in full, including its weights and training-data recipe, and was trained on more than 1,000 languages. That makes it possible to show what the model was built from and to adapt it to the French spoken in Swiss care. Caryfy is an independent user of the model.
No. The first phase uses simulated visits only. In the planned deployment, care records stay on Swiss hosting and patient content is not used to train a model.
No. It is designed to work alongside existing record systems. Its job is the administrative work between them: the note, the documentation and the invoice line that follow each visit.
Independent nurses and home-care organisations in French-speaking Switzerland. Taking part means sharing a few hours of experience through focus groups, shadowing or simulated visits. Write to anand@caryfy.ai.
In French-speaking Switzerland. A few hours of your experience now, and a say in what gets built.
Help shape the pilotOur first engineering position in Vaud opens in 2027: agents doing real work under real rules, on an open model.
Introduce yourselfWorking on Apertus, speech or Swiss-French language. If adaptation proves better than prompting, we intend to release the adapted weights openly, under Apertus’s licence.
