Designed for Aging in Place

EcoSmartFloors is especially valuable in homes where elderly individuals live independently or with minimal supervision. It supports:

  • Fall detection without the stigma of wearables
  • Daily routine tracking (e.g. bedroom to kitchen movement)
  • Sleep monitoring and inactivity alerts
  • Caregiver notifications via secure app or alert systems
  • Data sharing with smart home systems (optional integrations)

 

How It Works

  1. Installation:
    A thin, modular sensor mat is laid under flooring like carpet or vinyl.
  2. Sensing:
    The mat detects pressure patterns and turns them into data.
  3. AI Interpretation:
    AI identifies events like falls, hesitations, or unusual inactivity.
  4. Alerting:
    Notifications are sent to caregivers via an app or linked device.
  5. Privacy First:
    No audio, no video, no wearable devices—completely unobtrusive.
