The Future of Care: How CogvisAI is Transforming Safety in Care Homes

Falls are the single biggest safety incident in care environments—and the impact is enormous. They cause injuries, hospitalisations, and distress for residents, while also stretching already limited staff resources. At the same time, Europe’s ageing population and widespread staff shortages mean the sector must find smarter ways to deliver safe, high-quality care.

Enter CogvisAI, a groundbreaking, privacy-first fall-prevention and activity-monitoring system that is rapidly becoming the standard in modern care.

What is CogvisAI?

CogvisAI uses discreet, wall-mounted 3D infrared sensors combined with on-device artificial intelligence to monitor risk and prevent accidents in real time. Unlike CCTV or camera systems, these sensors don’t capture images or video. Instead, they build an anonymous 3D depth map, process it instantly on the device, and only trigger an alert when something significant happens.

That means care teams get the benefit of cutting-edge fall prevention—without any of the privacy compromises that come with video surveillance.

Why it’s different

• Early warning, not just reaction: CogvisAI can detect when a resident begins to sit up or move from bed, providing an alert before a fall happens.
• Modular design: Care homes can activate different modules as needed—such as fall detection, dementia wandering monitoring, or activity tracking.
• Plug-and-play: Installation is quick, and the sensors can be relocated easily.
• Seamless integration: Alerts can be delivered through existing nurse-call systems, an app, SMS, or email.
• Privacy first: No video is ever recorded; everything is processed on-device with GDPR compliance built in.

The results so far

• Care homes using CogvisAI report up to 72% fewer falls.
• Over 100,000 falls have been recognised and 1.5 million preventive interventions made across European deployments.
• Real-world studies show 2.3× faster fall detection and 91% accuracy in fall prevention.
• Adoption is already widespread—around 15% of Austrian care homes use CogvisAI every day.

These are not just numbers; they represent safer residents, more confident staff, and less stress for families.

Why this matters now

The care sector is under huge pressure:

• Workforce shortages mean staff are often stretched thin.
• Falls cost the NHS and social care billions each year—hip fractures alone account for more than £1 billion annually in hospital costs.
• Families and regulators demand reassurance that safety is a top priority.

By automating routine monitoring and reducing preventable incidents, CogvisAI helps staff focus on what really matters—caring for people, not reacting to crises.

A typical scenario

Picture a resident beginning to stir at 2 a.m. In most care homes, staff may not notice until it’s too late. With CogvisAI, the system recognises the motion instantly, sends an alert via the nurse-call system, and a caregiver arrives in time to steady the resident before they fall.

The outcome? No injury, no hospital admission, no frightened family phone call in the morning.

The future of care is privacy-first AI

CogvisAI proves that technology and dignity can go hand in hand. It’s not about replacing human care—it’s about empowering staff to do their jobs better, preventing accidents before they happen, and creating safer, calmer environments for residents.

For UK care providers, this is more than an innovation—it’s a glimpse into the future standard of care.
