Problem
Older adults living alone are at risk of falls and other emergencies that may go undetected, leading to delayed assistance and potential health complications. Wearable devices can be intrusive and easily forgotten, while traditional monitoring systems often lack the precision needed to differentiate between normal activity and genuine emergencies.
Solution
Mercury Alert AI offers a passive, non-wearable monitoring solution that uses wall-mounted sensors and AI-powered motion-sensing algorithms to detect falls and other critical events in real-time. The system identifies deviations from normal behavior, such as prolonged periods out of bed, and immediately alerts designated caregivers and family members via phone call, text message, or push notification. By providing timely alerts and continuous monitoring, Mercury Alert AI enables proactive care, reduces response times, and enhances the safety and well-being of older adults in their homes or care communities. The system prioritizes privacy by operating without cameras and encrypting all data.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes family caregivers of older adults living at home, as well as senior living communities and healthcare providers seeking to improve resident safety and staff efficiency.
