The other day I wrote about Alexa Together, a new subscription service from Amazon that “helps you care for the ones you love.” The service offers 24/7 hands-free access to trained agents who can help your loved one get assistance. If you use a compatible fall detection device like Vayyar Care, Alexa calls Urgent Response and notifies emergency contacts in the event of a fall.
Vayyar Care is a touchless fall detection device that works exclusively with Amazon Alexa and an Alexa Together subscription to protect individuals aging in place. Simply mount the device to a wall to get started. After installation, the device enters learning mode for seven days “to understand normal behavior within the room.” During this period, the device does not detect falls.
Unlike several other fall detection devices, there are no buttons, no cords, no wearables, and no cameras so privacy is maintained at all times. After learning mode is completed, the device monitors the room 24/7 “in all conditions: in complete darkness and even dense steam.” If it detects a fall, Alexa will call the Urgent Response emergency helpline and notify a designated caregiver.
Overview of Vayyar Care:
- A unique touchless fall detection system that mounts on a wall and monitors 24/7
- If it detects a fall, Alexa will contact the Urgent Response team and designated caregivers
- No cords, buttons, or wearables
- Operates in all lighting conditions and even dense steam, so it can detect falls even in the bathroom
- No cameras so loved one’s privacy is always protected
