One day when I grow up I want a home with SensFloor?Life installed.

Earlier this year, when Sebastian Stoll, the COO of Future Shape gave us a call he gave us some exciting news! He told us all about their exciting new product; SensFloor?Life and all that I could think was:
Imagine growing older without having to worry about your safety and knowing that you would be able to stay independent in your old age.
Growing older comes with its own challenges such as frailty, fall risk, fear of falling, and in some cases even dementia or more severe issues. Most people you talk to have a fear of getting older, not because they are afraid of their lives coming to an end but because they fear the health risks & unforeseen costs that come alongside aging. They fear loss, the loss of their loved ones and the loss of their independence.
Future Shape decided to look into ways to ease those fears, to improve your life as you age. Initially coming up with the product you all know and love SensFloor?Care which was designed for hospitals and care homes to ensure patient safety. They have now gone a step further with SensFloor?Life.
SensFloor?Life allows you to take SensFloor home with you allowing you to live in the comfort of your own home for longer. Holding many of the features you are familiar with when it comes to SensFloor?Care and many more including app integration and the most exciting part; machine learning.
SensFloor?Life has the ability to notify your relatives within seconds of any potential falls or in the case of room exit/wandering due to dementia.
In order to meet these expectations of dignified aging, we need innovative technologies. In a way that supports us, but still protects our privacy. A technology that automatically calls for help if I should fall and perhaps also informs my relatives if I should leave the house in the middle of the night as a 100 year old. Cameras are of course out of question, the sensors must be discreet without transmitting images.
