Undetected falls
Falls at night often go unnoticed for a long time — until the next round.
AmbientCare · Assistive system for care
Camera-free fall and safety monitoring.
Contactless, wearable-free and local inside your facility. An intelligent platform that detects safety events — without recording a single image.
AmbientCare is developed by Automation Boutique — pragmatic process automation from Germany. More safety. Less strain. Maximum privacy.
Starting point
More people needing care meet limited staff.
Especially at night, critical events can go unnoticed for a long time — with serious consequences for residents. Cameras and wearables only solve half the problem: camera-based systems are often rejected in private living and sleeping areas, and portable emergency devices are regularly forgotten or not worn.
Prolonged immobility
Someone lying motionless for too long is frequently noticed only late.
Disorientation
Leaving the bed at night or wandering around often goes unnoticed.
Limits of today's solutions
Cameras compromise privacy; wearables get forgotten, not worn, or not charged.
The idea behind AmbientCare
Detect safety events — without recording a single image.
Camera-free
No images, no video. Full privacy in living and sleeping areas.
Contactless
No wearables on the body. Nothing that can be forgotten, lost or left uncharged.
Local
Processing runs on a gateway inside your facility — even when the internet is down.
What AmbientCare detects
From acute events to quiet, long-term changes.
Acute events
- Possible fall event
- Prolonged immobility
- Leaving the bed
- Wandering at night
- Unusually long bathroom stays
Long-term changes
- Changes in mobility
- Deviations from the normal daily routine
- Sleep and rest patterns
- Breathing and heart rate trends
AmbientCare replaces neither care staff nor medical diagnostics — it prompts a targeted check.
How it works
Four steps from signal to response.
01
Wireless sensors in the room
detect how movement, posture and breathing change the WiFi signals in the room.
02
Local gateway
processes the data inside the facility — even when the internet is unavailable.
03
Events only
instead of raw data, e.g. "no movement for 20 minutes" or "possible fall".
04
Care staff
are prompted specifically to check on the resident.
Optional additional sensors — door contacts, bed occupancy, emergency buttons — improve reliability.
The alarm process
Multiple signals produce a reliable decision.
Example: possible fall event. Only the combination of several signals triggers a response — depending on confidence, the system chooses between a silent notification, an urgent alarm and escalation if no response follows.
- 01fast or unusual movement
- 02possible impact event
- 03change in body height and position
- 04subsequent immobility
- 05no independent recovery
Depending on confidence
- Silent notification
- Urgent alarm
- Escalation if no response follows
The care worker confirms the alarm and documents whether it was a fall, a false alarm or another situation.
Customer value
Three promises to your facility.
More safety
Critical events are detected faster — and changes become visible before things get worse.
Relief for staff
Rounds can be prioritised. Response times and events are documented transparently.
More privacy
No video, no wearables — and processing stays local inside your facility.
