The Eldercare Fall Crisis

Why traditional monitoring solutions fail modern residential care providers.

Unwitnessed Falls

Delayed response times lead to long lie injuries, severe clinical trauma, emergency blue-light ambulance call-outs, and hospital bed-blocking.

Wearable Non-Compliance

Traditional pendant alarms suffer from high refusal or forgetfulness rates among residents with cognitive impairment.

Intrusive Cameras

Optical video monitoring severely violates resident privacy and dignity in private quarters like bedrooms and bathrooms.

The Smart Falls Advantage

Passive ambient intelligence engineered for clinical precision and absolute privacy.

100% Optically-Free

Utilises advanced sub-6GHz micro-Doppler radar arrays. Zero video or audio feeds are captured, protecting absolute resident dignity.

Edge-AI Processing

Fall signature recognition and gait speed decay metrics are processed locally on secure edge nodes within 1.2 seconds for rapid alert routing.

Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS)

Eliminates upfront CAPEX barriers for care operators via a predictable monthly B2B subscription covering hardware and cloud telemetry.

Live Telemetry Feed Simulation (smartfalls.co.uk/#telemetry)

System status: Active monitoring across test-bed deployment nodes. Latency: 1.1s. Edge compliance: Active (DSPT / GDPR Ready).

Proprietary Radar-AI Architecture

Advanced engineering built for sub-second precision and data sovereignty.

Engineered entirely from the ground up, Smart Falls leverages proprietary micro-Doppler signature extraction algorithms operating within the sub-6GHz spectrum. Our system executes multi-layer spatial tracking and edge-neural processing locally on-device, bypassing cloud latency bottlenecks to achieve sub-1.2-second fall classification while ensuring absolute data sovereignty and compliance with NHS clinical safety standards (DCB0129).

R&D Roadmap & Methodological Rigor

Structured 12-month technical translation backed by rigorous project governance.

WP1: Hardware Optimization

Months 1–4: Finalizing sub-6GHz micro-Doppler radar array enclosures and training edge-AI models for sub-second fall signature recognition.

WP2: Telemetry & ECP Staging

Months 5–8: Deploying the secure web telemetry dashboard and building API connectors for Electronic Care Planning systems.

WP3: West Yorkshire Pilots

Months 9–12: Partnering with regional care operators (via Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber) for real-world validation and workflow testing.

Rigorous Governance & Standards

Our R&D framework aligns product development with NHS Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) and Information Governance frameworks, bridging cutting-edge academic engineering with reliable, scalable deployment in live healthcare environments.

Project Leadership & Management

Expert governance driving digital health innovation.
