Safe-Living Introduces the Pioneering Plug & Play Contactless Home Emergency Detection System at ces2024
By DaMarko Webster
Incorporating cutting-edge AI technology and a proprietary radar designed to detect even the slightest movements, Safe-Living has developed an innovative emergency device capable of intelligently distinguishing between various scenarios such as pet activities, daily routines, and potentially life-threatening events. This device, in the event of an emergency, autonomously initiates a call for help by identifying situations where an individual may be incapacitated. Placed discreetly on a piece of furniture, the device operates without the need for wearables, such as pendant alarms, or the manual activation of an alarm button, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free user experience.
What sets Safe-Living apart is its commitment to privacy and non-intrusiveness. The emergency device does not incorporate cameras or microphones, alleviating concerns about privacy invasion. The device’s contactless operation addresses the challenge of reliably recognizing falls or health-threatening emergencies within the unique layouts and living patterns of individual households. Safe-Living has successfully overcome these challenges through its groundbreaking AI and radar technology.
Currently serving several Swiss households, Safe-Living has not only saved lives but also provided peace of mind for seniors and their families. The simplicity of installation and the absence of the need for calibration, typically associated with radar-based systems, make Safe-Living’s solution user-friendly and accessible. The startup’s innovations represent a paradigm shift in the age-tech market.
Addressing a global issue, Safe-Living’s technology comes at a critical time when over 16 million people worldwide experience falls at home requiring urgent medical attention each year. Shockingly, 82% of these incidents involve seniors who are alone at home. Existing emergency systems, such as pendant alarms, prove ineffective in 8 out of 10 cases due to various factors, including the individual’s inability to trigger the alert. This can lead to serious complications, and prompt medical attention is crucial to prevent long-term injuries or fatalities.
Safe-Living aims to bring about a positive change in this narrative. Sandro Cilurzo, the CEO and founder of Safe-Living, envisions a world where everyone deserves a safe and independent life at home, and thanks to Safe-Living, it is now achievable. Looking ahead, Safe-Living plans to enter the US market in 2024, with a commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of Americans. With the United Nations projecting a doubling of the senior population by 2050 and a preference among seniors to age in place, Safe-Living’s solution holds the promise of significant relief for both seniors and their caregivers.
Expressing enthusiasm for the future, Cilurzo highlighted Safe-Living’s participation in the Swiss Pavilion (Eureka Park) at CES 2024, an opportunity to showcase their groundbreaking solution to a global audience and contribute to transforming the landscape of home safety for seniors.
