Every year, over 240,000 falls are reported in NHS hospitals across England.
That’s more than 600 people every single day — many of whom were already vulnerable.
NICE guidelines (NG249, 2025) are clear:
We should stop relying on prediction tools.
We should assess real movement. React faster. Monitor smarter.
So… what if there was a way to do exactly that?
1
The Real Risk Isn’t Just Falling — It’s What We Miss Before the Fall
A fall is rarely just “an accident.”
It’s often the final link in a chain of subtle signals — moments that go unnoticed because they don’t scream for attention.
It starts with a small change:
-
A slower turn in bed than usual
-
Fewer overnight movements
-
A period of unexplained stillness
-
Or perhaps a bit of agitation during sleep
-
Even the way someone leaves the bed — slower, off-balance, hesitant
These aren’t incidents. They’re indicators — signs that something’s changing.
But in a busy ward or care setting, you can’t always spot them. You can’t always measure them.
And without visibility, these changes stay silent — until the fall.

Introducing a New Way to See What We Usually Don’t
We won’t call it a monitor.
It doesn’t beep wildly or overwhelm staff.
Instead, it works quietly under the surface — like a sixth sense for movement, stability, and change.
-
Tracks how long it takes someone to turn or get out of bed
-
Identifies early signs of deterioration or frailty
-
Sends an alert when someone is too close to the bed edge
-
Highlights real movement patterns, without guessing or predicting
-
Helps staff ask better questions — and act earlier
It’s not prescriptive. It’s observational insight — aligned with how we should be thinking about falls.

Built Around
NICE’s Core Recommendations
This intelligent device supports every major pillar of NG249:
NICE Focus Area
Avoids prediction tools
Tracks actual behaviour without relying on scores or assumptions
Supports mobility & frailty assessments
Offers repositioning and bed-exit metrics
Improves hospital/care home supervision
Alerts staff in real time when patients approach risk zones
Promotes education & engagement
Visualises behaviour trends for carer–patient discussion
Supports post-fall review & prevention
Provides data to guide care plan adjustments
Why It Matters
Falls cost the NHS over £1 billion a year.
They account for 250,000 lost bed days.
And 1 in 50 leads to life-changing injury — or worse.
Yet many carers are still relying on gut instinct and manual checks.
This isn’t about replacing that — it’s about backing it with data.
Not a Gimmick. Not a Guess.
