Fall detection at home: contactless, private, around the clock
Assist Living offers fall detection for seniors at home. The system detects falls in all areas of the home and alerts family members or carers straight away. It works without an emergency button, which you may no longer be able to press in an emergency.
The problem
A fall that nobody notices
Living alone carries a risk that people rarely talk about. If someone falls and cannot get up, it often takes a long time before anyone notices. The real problem is rarely the fall itself, but the time it takes for help to arrive. Our fall prevention tips can help to lower the risk, but not every fall can be prevented.
Traditional emergency buttons and alarm watches only help if they are worn, and if the person is conscious and can reach the button. In the bathroom, at night or after a dizzy spell, this is often not the case. Many older people also take the wristband off because it reminds them how vulnerable they are.
The solution
A fall detector you don't have to wear
Assist Living watches over the home with sensors fitted to the wall or ceiling. There is nothing to wear, nothing to charge and nothing to press.
- Radar sensors in the bedroom and bathroom: They use mmWave radar and detect movement without creating an image. This means there is no camera image in the most private rooms, the bathroom and bedroom.
- Optical sensors in the living areas: The AI camera processes everything locally in the home and stores nothing. There is only a live image when authorised family members briefly check in, for example after an alert.
- Instant alert: If the system detects a fall, the alert goes straight to the people you have added in the app.

In four steps
How it works
Installation
The sensors are fitted to suit your home. Installation is simple and needs no building work.
Detection
The system detects falls and long periods of inactivity in all areas of the home. In the bedroom, the radar sensor also measures breathing and heart rate.
Alert
If there is a fall or an unusual change, an instant alert goes to family members or carers.
Everyday safety
Medication reminders, intercom and voice control, plus biometric door access and remote door opening via the family app.
Try it yourself
The flat in 3D
Rotate the flat, tap a sensor, or play a scenario: a fall in the bathroom, a fall in the living room or a whole night.
At night
Sleep monitoring with heart rate and breathing rate
The risk is highest at night, when no one is watching. The radar sensor in the bedroom detects breathing and heart rate without any physical contact. The system reports unusual changes, so family members can react in time.
Assist Living helps family members and carers to stay attentive. The assessment remains with healthcare professionals.

Frequently asked questions
How does a radar sensor detect a fall?
The mmWave radar sensor sends out radio waves and analyses how they bounce back from the body and the room. From this, the software calculates position, movement and posture. No image is created.
Is anything recorded?
No. There is no video recording, and data is processed locally in the home. Authorised family members can briefly check in via the AI camera in the living area, for example after an alert. In the bathroom and bedroom, only radar is used, so there is no image there.
Who is alerted after a fall?
The people you add in the family app, for example family members or carers. They receive the instant alert on their smartphone.
How is this different from a personal alarm?
A personal alarm requires the person to wear a device on their body. Assist Living is contactless and detects falls even when no one can reach a button. For more details, see personal alarm compared with automatic fall detection.
Is installation complicated?
No. Installation is simple and adapts to your home.
Is it also available for care homes and home care services?
Yes, with Assist Living Pro. Read more about fall detection for care facilities.
