The startup has developed a real-time fall detection system for senior citizens in nursing homes that utilizes presence detection, actigraphy, and biometric analysis of heart and breath rhythms without the need for sensors or cameras. This technology provides early alerts to caregivers, enhancing patient safety and response times in critical situations.

Problem
Current fall detection systems often rely on wearable sensors or cameras, which can be stigmatizing, easily forgotten, or raise privacy concerns for elderly individuals and those with disabilities. These limitations can hinder adoption and effectiveness, leaving vulnerable individuals at risk of delayed assistance after a fall.
Solution
Morphee+ offers a real-time fall detection system that respects privacy by using radar technology instead of cameras or wearable sensors. The system monitors activity, cardiac, and respiratory data to detect falls and abnormal behavior patterns indicative of increased risk. When a fall or other concerning event is detected, Morphee+ automatically alerts caregivers or family members within minutes, enabling prompt assistance and reducing the potential medical and financial consequences of delayed intervention. The system is designed for easy installation and integration with existing alert systems, providing a comprehensive safety net without compromising individual dignity or privacy.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes elderly individuals, people with disabilities, nursing homes (EHPAD), hospitals, home care services (HAD), and assisted living facilities seeking a non-intrusive fall detection and monitoring solution.
