How it works
Quiet in the background, there when it counts.
A small radar sensor watches the room, not the person. It's designed to detect a fall, keep an eye on the daily pattern, and let the right people know if something's off. No wearable, no camera, no fuss.
What the sensor does
Three simple jobs, working away quietly so the family doesn't have to worry from afar.
Fall detection
Radar picks up the signature of a fall and a person staying down. When it does, it alerts you automatically, no button, no pendant.
Wellbeing & activity
It learns the normal rhythm of the day, up at the usual hour, about the kitchen, settled in the evening, and flags when that pattern shifts.
Family alerts
A clear message reaches the phones you nominate. You choose who's on the list and what counts as an alert worth a call.
Privacy by design
It's radar, not a webcam. No pictures, no audio, nothing recorded. The wellbeing view is pattern-level and shared only with your nominated people.
Always on
Mounted and powered, it runs continuously, including in the bathroom and at night, the moments a worn alarm is most likely to be off.
Honest by default
It's a safety aid, not a medical device, and not a guarantee. We'll always tell you what it can and can't do before you commit.
Why radar, and not a pendant or a camera
Most fall alarms fail for a human reason, not a technical one. Here's how each approach really plays out at home.
Worn pendants & watches
Only work when worn and charged. They come off in the shower, get left by the bed, and can't help if a fall knocks someone out. Great in theory, patchy in practice.
Cameras
They can see a fall, but most older people refuse to be filmed at home, and rightly worry who's watching. Refusal is the most common outcome.
Radar (what we fit)
Passive and always on, nothing to wear, and no images. It senses the fall and the daily pattern while respecting the dignity that gets the older person to say yes.
What's included
Done for you, start to finish. No box of parts and a manual to puzzle over.
A proper chat first
We talk through the home, who lives there, and who you'd want alerted, and we're honest about what fits and what doesn't.
Install & setup
We mount the sensor in the right room, set your alert contacts, and test the whole thing, all without filming anything.
Support after
We stay reachable. If an alert looks odd, the sensor needs adjusting, or your contacts change, a real person sorts it.
Who it's for
A parent living alone
For the family who can't drop in every day and want to know a fall won't go unnoticed for hours.
Someone with memory changes
Where a pendant or button will never be used, passive radar is the approach that actually works.
Just home from hospital
After a fall or a discharge, when something needs to be in place this week, not next month.
Case managers & coordinators
A fundable, installable assistive technology option that fits a tier and the paperwork that goes with it.
The same care, in everyday words
If you'd rather your parent read about this in plain, friendly language before anything happens at their home, point them to our sister site Check on Mum. It's the same service, the same people from Alien IT Solutions, just told for the person who'll be living with it.
Talk it through with a real person.
No pushy sales, no jargon. We'll explain what it does, what it doesn't, and whether it might be funded.
