Detect falls in residents’ rooms without a camera

Care homes detect falls with sensors or radar, without a camera in the room

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsMonitoring sensor and machine dataNursing & care

Fits: Health & care

Anyone who falls in their room or bathroom at night no longer lies unnoticed on the floor for long. Staff are called even if the resident cannot reach the call button, and privacy is protected because no image is created.

Is this for you?

  • In your facility, falls are often only discovered on the next round, especially at night in residents’ rooms and bathrooms.
  • Many residents cannot reliably press the call button after a fall, for example because of dementia.
  • You can prepare the nurse call system, Wi-Fi and residents’ rooms for a project lasting months, and you have time for consent conversations.
First step today

Take the fall records of one residential unit from the last three months and transfer only day of the week, time, location, observed yes or no and minutes until found into a table. No names, room numbers, dates of birth or diagnoses. Have it analysed with the template below. This shows you whether unnoticed falls in rooms are really the problem sensors would solve for you.

How to go about it

  1. Set the rooms and the goal
  2. Install sensors and connect them to the nurse call system
  3. Allow for the learning phase in each room
  4. Set alert levels
  5. Build alerts into night duty and care planning
  6. Evaluate reported and missed falls
