Problem
Long-term care facilities experience a high incidence of resident falls—approximately 4 million annually in the U.S., with one‑million of those being preventable. Existing monitoring solutions often rely on cameras or require extensive manual oversight, compromising resident privacy and increasing staff workload.
Solution
Helpany offers a radar‑based motion monitoring platform centered on its PAUL device, which is installed on ceilings or placed on furniture to continuously track resident movement without cameras or microphones. AI algorithms analyze daily motion patterns to identify subtle changes—such as increased restlessness or reduced mobility—that signal elevated fall risk. When a high‑risk resident moves unexpectedly, Guard Mode generates targeted alerts to caregivers, enabling timely assistance while minimizing false alarms. The system also includes a one‑tap emergency call pendant (ePaul) and a caregiver‑focused app that provides real‑time dashboards, trend analytics, and family access, all while preserving dignity and complying with privacy regulations.
Target Audience
Helpany is designed for senior living operators and care teams in assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and CCRCs seeking privacy‑preserving fall prevention and proactive resident monitoring.
