Problem
Falls in senior living facilities frequently occur in the shower, a private space where incidents often go unwitnessed, leading to delayed response and inadequate documentation.
Solution
Goldilocks offers a retrofit smart shower handle that replaces the existing fixture with an integrated monitoring controller. The device continuously senses user presence and detects abnormal motion patterns, generating real‑time alerts to staff when a potential fall is identified. Alerts are delivered through a secure cloud platform that also records verification logs and visualizes event trends on an operator dashboard. By eliminating the need for tile removal or extensive remodeling, the system can be installed in minutes and fits seamlessly into existing care workflows, reducing average shower‑fall response time to approximately 45 seconds.
Target Audience
Primary customers are senior living operators, assisted‑living and nursing home facilities, and their facility management teams responsible for resident safety and incident response.
