Scale fall detection without scaling surveillance
Can a facility reliably detect unwitnessed falls without another wearable and without adding a privacy burden? That is what ilonai is built for: cameras on a closed network, shared local AI, and visual access only when something happens. We are not installed in facilities yet. The home pilot comes first (started 5 October 2026, room for four more), then commercial sales.

Traditional solutions vs. ilonai
Traditional solutions fall short
Pendant / wearable systems
- Commonly reported high non-compliance
- Commonly reported high false-alarm rates
- Requires conscious action during a fall
- Battery and wear burden
Pressure mat systems
- Cover only the spot they are laid on
- A resident can step around them
- Commonly reported high false-positive rate
- A fall outside the zone is not seen
Manual monitoring
- Few facilities can staff observation around the clock
- Someone is watching residents live
- Costs scale with staff hours
- Nobody is alerted until a person happens to look
How ilonai is meant to help
Automatic detection (the goal)
- No resident action required
- Works when a person cannot press a button
- Built to work at night
- No wearable to remember or charge
Local AI (home pilot first)
- Aiming for a lower false-alarm rate than pendants
- Target: alert staff within seconds, not minutes
- Continuous room coverage without wearables
- Facility performance not yet validated
Privacy-first design
- Local AI on a dedicated computer, with no camera cloud
- No live staff camera wall
- No behavioral profile of the resident's day
- Event evidence when needed, then short retention
Built for your facility type
Nursing homes
Cover rooms around the clock, with automatic alerts to staff and no live camera wall.
- Comprehensive coverage
- Event alerts for staff
- No live camera wall
Assisted living
Safety without compromising resident independence or turning the home into a feed.
- Discreet alerts
- Maintain dignity
- Family notified on events, not a live feed
Residents who live alone or are alone at night
Works when a person cannot press a button after a possible fall.
- No user interaction needed
- Unwitnessed-fall detection
- Event-only visual access
Design goals (not yet measured in facilities)
These are targets we are building toward. They are not results from live deployments.
Seconds
Target alert time
So someone knows within seconds, not hours
Known
Unwitnessed falls, not prevention claims
Built so the people you choose know sooner, not to stop the first fall
Low
False-alarm target
Aiming well below commonly reported pendant false-alarm rates
Planned pricing
The shape of the pricing, not an offer to sell a finished, certified system. Facility figures come after the home pilot, in conversation.
| Component | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | One-time setup fee | Installation and configuration. Exact figures confirmed when we talk. |
| Equipment | Included | Remains ilonai property; removed if you stop |
| Monthly subscription | Monthly service fee | Connectivity, system-health monitoring, updates, support |
Multi-unit terms depend on how many rooms and how many AI nodes a building needs, so we work them out in conversation rather than publishing a discount table we cannot yet stand behind.
Privacy & conformity
ilonai is not a medical device. It does not yet hold ISO 27001 certification or a completed FADP audit. We will not claim those until they are actually in place.
Privacy design principles
- Local AI so camera images stay on the premises
- One purpose only: a possible fall or a person lying on the floor, never a timeline of the day
- No live staff camera wall
- Short incident retention and audit logging as design goals
Standards we plan to pursue
- Product safety, EMC and radio conformity
- Swiss FADP data protection assessment
- ISO 27001 (information security), not certified
None of the above are current licences or certifications.
