Home Safe Home, Watching the Weeks Before a Fall
An elder-monitoring service uses ambient household sensors and a weekly call from a named agent to spot changes in an older person’s routine.
Field notes
The proposed workflow begins with household signals rather than an emergency button: kettle, fridge, bed, doors, and room-to-room movement establish a baseline, then deviations are discussed during a recurring ten-minute call. The page gives concrete examples, including three consecutive broken nights and a kettle moving from 07:10 to 09:40. It says family members receive trends and the caller’s note, while the system excludes cameras, microphones, recordings, and wearable equipment.
