SmartPeep company, introduced a solution that ‘kill two birds with one stone’. The virtual AI patient-sitter system not only observes elderly safety, but as well provides caretaker the ease of monitoring their patients even when they are away.

Without additional equipment, the AI software leverages facilities’ existing CCTV and client can just plug in SmartPeep servers into the camera system. Everything will be converted into an intelligent fall detection device without the needs of equipment upgrade. In comparison with conventional bed sensor, the system supports multi-bed monitoring using a camera within the same room, which is catered for nursing home and hospital needs. The patients not needed to wear uncomfortable device on their body, as wearable accessories might give problems especially to elderly people.

The company is putting Japan their number one target country, as the aging population would be huge market for them to be in. They have signed a MoU with a Japanese company few month back, to explore the possibility of bringing fall detection technology into Japan home. Japan’s camera manufacturers also would be their potential future partner, as they have plan to integrate the software into cameras and scale out to general consumers.
