With 77% of adults over 50 preferring to age in place, the need for effective solutions to ensure safety at home has never been greater. Pontosense is addressing this need with its Silver Shield solution, an advanced wireless mmWave RADAR sensor technology designed with privacy in mind to provide real-time fall detection and well-being insights through a discreet, non-invasive system. This cutting-edge technology ensures safety and peace of mind without compromising the dignity or independence of its users.
Why Pontosense Is Different
Pontosense’s Silver Shield goes beyond traditional fall detection systems by offering a holistic approach to monitoring well-being at home. Using advanced mmWave RADAR technology and proprietary software, Silver Shield delivers real-time insights into activity patterns and potential risks. The system identifies high-risk areas, tracks movement between rooms, and logs fall locations, enabling caregivers to predict and prevent future incidents. These features provide a deeper understanding of daily activity and ensure proactive care.
Unlike conventional solutions that rely on intrusive cameras or wearable devices, Silver Shield prioritizes privacy and comfort. Its non-invasive design eliminates the need for visual or audio surveillance, maintaining users’ dignity while achieving an impressive 99% accuracy rate in fall detection with minimal false positives. This high accuracy helps prevent alarm fatigue by ensuring caregivers are only alerted to meaningful events.
The system is thoughtfully designed with user convenience in mind. Installation is simple and guided through the Pontosense Care app, taking less than 10 minutes to complete and is ready for immediate use with no learning period required. Furthermore, the device is not battery-operated, ensuring continuous operation without regular battery replacements. Silver Shield sets a new benchmark in fall detection and home safety technology by combining precision, privacy, and user-friendly functionality.
Why Caregivers and Families Love It
Silver Shield provides invaluable peace of mind for caregivers and families without the risk of alarm fatigue. The system’s real-time alerts enable quick responses during emergencies, while its ability to monitor multiple individuals remotely optimizes caregiving efforts. Nurses can focus on those who need attention most, and family members can check in on their loved ones’ well-being from anywhere.
One user shared how they use Silver Shield to monitor their parent’s daily routines. Each morning, they check in and see that their mom is up — maybe in the living room watching TV or having breakfast in the kitchen. In the evening, they check again and find their mom in bed in her bedroom, safe at home. With insights into any activity across different rooms, the system prompts them to follow up immediately if something seems off from their everyday routines.
By providing fewer but more meaningful alerts, caregivers avoid being overwhelmed by false alarms, allowing them to focus on critical issues. This remote monitoring capability fosters a sense of connection and reassurance while allowing older adults to maintain their independence. This balance of smart, targeted alerts and streamlined monitoring makes caregiving easier and more efficient.
The Future of Fall Detection
Pontosense is pioneering home monitoring innovation with Silver Shield, a system that evolves through regular updates based on user feedback. These updates continually improve fall detection while minimizing false alerts, ensuring caregivers only receive the most meaningful information. Advanced algorithms filter out non-critical movements — such as those from pets or reflections — optimizing the monitoring process.
With Silver Shield’s open API, it integrates smoothly with existing home health systems, making it adaptable to various caregiving setups. As technology progresses, future updates will further enhance fall detection, making it faster and more precise while continuing to support caregivers and promoting independence for older adults.
Pontosense’s Silver Shield is more than just a fall detection system — it’s a smart, innovative solution that prioritizes both safety and privacy. Combining its advanced AI filtering software and mmWave RADAR technology, Silver Shield gives caregivers peace of mind, enabling them to stay informed without compromising the comfort or independence of older adults.
Deployed in homes across North America, Asia, and Europe, Silver Shield is transforming caregiving through advanced technology, offering support to both caregivers and older adults globally.
