OZCARE
Privacy-first IR/thermal fall detection for dementia and elder-care rooms. Wall-mounted sensor with edge AI detects falls, night-time bed exits, and prolonged inactivity, sending instant caregiver alerts via mobile/dashboard with escalation. Designed for high accuracy, low false alarms, and dignity-preserving monitoring without RGB cameras.

1) What it is
A privacy-first, room-level safety monitoring system for dementia and elder-care. It uses a wall-mounted IR/thermal sensor with edge AI to detect critical events and immediately alert caregivers—without using RGB cameras.
2) What it detects (core functions)
- Fall detection: sudden collapse/posture change events
- Bed-exit detection: especially valuable during night hours
- Prolonged inactivity / no-movement: possible fall or medical distress
- Presence & basic activity patterns: to support caregiver context (optional analytics)
3) How it works (workflow)
- Sensor continuously monitors the room using thermal/IR data (non-identifying).
- On-device AI classifies events (fall / bed-exit / inactivity).
- When thresholds are met, the system pushes an instant alert to caregivers.
- If not acknowledged, it triggers escalation (next caregiver / supervisor / nursing station).
- Events are logged as metadata (time, room, event type, confidence), with privacy controls.
4) System components
- Hardware: wall-mounted IR/thermal sensing unit, facility-ready power/network options (Wi-Fi/PoE as applicable), device health monitoring
- Software: edge inference engine, alerting service, caregiver mobile notifications, and a web dashboard for room-wise status and event logs
5) Alerts and caregiver experience
- Mobile alerts (configurable severity and escalation)
- Nursing-station dashboard showing: room status, active alerts, acknowledgement, device uptime, event summaries
- Configurable rules per room/resident (e.g., night-only bed exit alerts; inactivity duration thresholds)
6) Privacy, dignity, and data governance
- No RGB video and no identifiable imagery
- Edge processing by default to minimize sensitive data movement
- Role-based access to dashboards and audit logs
- Configurable retention of only necessary event metadata for operations and quality improvement
7) Performance targets (pilot-ready)
- Fast detection-to-alert latency (near real-time)
- High sensitivity for falls and high-risk events
- Low false alarms through threshold tuning and workflow confirmation logic (critical for caregiver trust)
8) Deployment model
- Pilot-first: 3–5 rooms, validate accuracy/false alarms, tune thresholds, document impact
- Scale-out: room-by-room rollout with centralized monitoring
- Support: installation guidance, caregiver onboarding, periodic calibration/tuning, remote diagnostics
9) Roadmap (optional extensions)
- Restlessness / sleep disturbance insights (night-time patterns)
- Pre-fall risk indicators (gait instability proxies where feasible)
- Integration with nurse-call / facility SOP workflows and reporting dashboards
