Here is how we helped Mary and her family

We equipped Mary's home with SmartGuardian to discreetly monitor her movements throughout her home without requiring any wearable devices. If Mary were to fall, the system would instantly detect it and alert her family.

SmartGuardian also monitors for unusual activity patterns, such as changes in sleep patterns or mobility, providing early indications of potential health issues and/or precursors to a fall. This proactive monitoring allows for timely intervention and support.

Mary's family have peace of mind knowing that she's safe and protected 24/7, even when they can't be there.

Upon receipt of a fall alert, Mary's daughter can a) view the short stick model video leading up to the alert, b) remotely talk to Mary from within the same room as the fall, allowing her to assess the situation and provide priceless comfort and guidance to Mary until help arrives, and c) she can view a snapshot of the actual view (available only 30 mins after the alert) - again to assess the situation if Mary is incapacitated.

Mary can also summon help by simply waving her hand in front of any sensor. She can then talk with her daughter.

For added convenience, we installed a smart screen in the Living Room. Seeing her family provides priceless connection and well being. Mary's family can also 'drop-in' for a chat simply by saying "Call Mum" without any action required from Mary.

Mary can also ask the screen for assistance by simply saying "Help!" to alert and call her family for immediate assistance.

Outside of seeking assistance, she can also call her family and friends for a chat with a simple voice command like "Call John", ensuring easy and reliable communication.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • This was a 5 zone flagship installation protecting the Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, Living Room and Hall. A SmartGuardian sensor was discreetly mounted at an upper corner of each room. The Living Room also had a combined screen and smart speaker, located beside Mary's chair.

    Installation of the system took a morning with family member setup, training and role playing taking the afternoon.

    Note: Our solutions are entirely customisable. You may only need this level of protection in one or two rooms, like the bedroom or bathroom - areas where the wearing of traditional alarms can be inconsistent. The system is entirely scaleable - from one room to a whole home.
