Falls are a significant concern, especially for individuals who may be physically challenged, ill, or elderly. While falls can happen anywhere, bathrooms present a particularly high risk environment. The combination of hard surfaces and the presence of water or moisture makes slips and falls more likely. A fall in a bathroom can lead to serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and other severe consequences. These injuries can result in long recovery times, loss of independence, and a significant impact on overall quality of life. The fear of falling can also cause individuals to limit their activities, further affecting their well-being.

The enclosed nature of bathrooms means that a person who falls might not be immediately discovered, especially if they live alone or are in a public facility. Delayed assistance after a fall can worsen injuries and outcomes. This highlights the critical need for reliable and timely fall detection in these vulnerable spaces. Traditional solutions might involve wearable devices, but these depend on the individual remembering to wear them and being able to activate them after a fall, which is not always possible.

Lumisafe offers a modern, privacy-friendly approach to addressing the risks of falls in environments like bathrooms. Understanding the dangers posed by falls in these spaces, Lumisafe was designed to provide a solution that is both effective and respectful of personal privacy. The system uses advanced depth sensor technology, specifically Time-of-Flight cameras, which capture spatial data without recording identifiable images. This means that while the system can accurately detect a fall, it does not compromise the privacy of the individual.

The core of the Lumisafe system is its local processing capability. All data captured by the depth sensor is processed directly on the device using built-in machine-learning models. These models are trained to recognize human poses and accurately detect falls. By processing data locally, Lumisafe ensures that no sensitive information is transmitted or stored externally, maintaining 100% data privacy. This is particularly important for installations in private homes, healthcare facilities, and public restrooms where privacy is paramount.

Furthermore, Lumisafe's machine-learning models can adapt and improve over time by locally training on the specific environment, enhancing accuracy. The user-friendly design makes the technology accessible, and the system aims to be a budget-friendly option for fall detection. By providing timely alerts when a fall is detected, Lumisafe helps ensure that help can be dispatched quickly, potentially mitigating the severe harm that can result from a fall in a bathroom or other high-risk area. Lumisafe provides peace of mind for individuals and their caregivers by offering a reliable, privacy-conscious safety net.
