A tech entrepreneur and educator, Scott Carpenter took the mission of disrupting the traditional caregiving model to heart when his wife was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Frustrated with the caregiving tech solutions at the time, Carpenter and his son, Paul, a software engineer, developed BoundaryCare, a location-tracking app designed to be paired with an Apple Watch that enhances the lives of caregivers, older adults, and people living with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Founded in 2019, St. Paul-based BoundaryCare has grown rapidly and now partners with major IDD providers in Minnesota, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Colorado, as well as the largest managed care organization in Wisconsin. Its direct-to-consumer sales through the Apple app store span the nation. Carpenter is also a professor at Carleton College.
