Scale fall detection without scaling surveillance
Can a facility reliably detect unwitnessed falls without another wearable and without creating a privacy burden? Ilonai is being designed for that: standard PoE cameras, shared local AI, event-only visual access. We are not installed in facilities yet. A first home pilot is being prepared first.

Traditional Solutions vs. Ilonai
❌ Traditional Solutions Fail
Pendant/Wearable Systems
- • 85% non-compliance rate
- • 40-60% false alarms
- • Requires conscious action during fall
- • Battery maintenance burden
Pressure Mat Systems
- • Only works in specific locations
- • Easy to bypass
- • High false positive rate
- • Misses falls outside zones
Manual Monitoring
- • Impossible to staff 24/7
- • Privacy violations
- • Expensive and inconsistent
- • Reactive, not proactive
✅ How Ilonai Is Designed to Help
Automatic Detection (the goal)
- ✓ No resident action required
- ✓ Usable for cognitively impaired residents
- ✓ Intended to work at night
- ✓ No wearable to remember or charge
AI Detection (in development)
- ✓ Aiming for a low false-alarm rate vs. pendants
- ✓ Target: alert staff within seconds, not minutes
- ✓ Continuous room coverage without wearables
- ✓ Performance not yet validated in live facilities
Privacy-First Design
- ✓ Local AI on a dedicated computer — not a camera cloud
- ✓ No live staff camera wall
- ✓ No behavioral profile of the resident's day
- ✓ Event evidence when needed, then short retention

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
Instead of 8–15 minutes of unnoticed floor time
Known
Unwitnessed falls, not prevention claims
Designed to shorten time until help — not to stop the first fall
Low
False-Alarm Target
Aiming well below typical pendant rates (40–60%)

Privacy & Regulatory Path
Ilonai is in development. We do not currently hold medical-device licences, CE marking, ISO certifications, or a completed FADP/GDPR audit. We will not claim those until they are actually in place.
Privacy Design Principles
- • Local AI so camera images stay on the premises
- • Purpose limitation: possible fall / person in danger — not a day timeline
- • No live staff camera wall
- • Short incident retention and audit logging as design goals
Standards We Plan to Pursue Later
- • IEC 62304 (software lifecycle) — not certified
- • ISO 13485 (medical device QMS) — not certified
- • CE marking under MDR — not obtained
- • ISO 27001 (information security) — not certified
None of the above are current licences or certifications.
