Place discreet sensors
Choose suitable points in living areas, bedrooms, corridors, or bathrooms.
What the sensor notices
Presence, movement, or a change in activity, depending on the selected sensor and placement.
Elderly fall detection · Singapore
Fall detection that respects your parent's dignity.
The hours that worry families most are often quiet ones: a bathroom visit, a night-time walk, or a morning with no sign of movement. K. S. Sembawang Digital Care Pte Ltd uses discreet sensors to flag possible incidents in HDB homes without placing cameras in private spaces.
Privacy comes first.
01 / The system
How detection works without cameras
Sensors read movement and presence, then compare activity with a pattern built around your parent's routine. The family receives a notification when a configured event needs checking.
Set a personal baseline
During an initial settling-in period, the system builds context around usual activity.
Why routines matter
A morning routine differs from an overnight one. Family-approved settings help the system flag changes that matter to this household.
Flag a possible event
A suspected fall, prolonged inactivity, or unusual night movement can trigger an alert.
Keep expectations clear
Detection depends on sensor coverage and setup. A notification asks someone to check in; it cannot confirm what happened.
Notify the chosen contact
Alerts follow the household's contact order and can be acknowledged by a caregiver.
What happens next
The first contact follows the agreed response plan. If the alert is not acknowledged, the configured next contact can be notified.
Monitoring supports awareness, not clinical care.It does not diagnose a fall, injury, or medical condition. Sensor coverage and alert settings should be reviewed for each home.
02 / Home layout
Bathroom safety and night movement in HDB flats
The short route between bed and bathroom deserves careful attention. Placement should suit the flat, the resident's mobility, and the privacy they want.

A safer route after dark
A motion-triggered night light can help make the path visible without asking your parent to find a switch in the dark.
01
Bedroom presence sensing
Track broad changes in room activity. The setup can avoid cameras and keep personal routines private.
02
Living area movement
A suitable sensor can help identify expected daytime movement and prolonged inactivity at home.
03
Bathroom doorway coverage
Bathroom safety sensors are selected and positioned for the room layout. No camera is placed in the bathroom.
04
Corridor and wet-area planning
Keep the bedroom-to-bathroom route in mind. Sensor mounting must suit the surface and stay clear of unsuitable wet-area positions.
For rental flats, the assessment can consider removable or low-impact mounting options. Final placement depends on the property and chosen equipment.
03 / Response plan
Emergency buttons and escalation workflows
A wearable button or fixed call point gives your parent a direct way to summon help at home. Agree on who responds and what they do before setting the contact order.
Make the plan together.
Primary caregiver
Receives the possible night fall alert and checks in using the agreed method.
Secondary contact
Receives the next notification if the first contact does not acknowledge it within the chosen interval.
Next of kin or responder
Follows the family's agreed plan and contacts emergency services if the situation calls for it.
Families decide the contact order, acknowledgement window, and response steps. An alert is not a substitute for emergency services.
04 / Family updates
Real-time alerts for the people who care
Caregivers see the events the household has approved. Quiet-hour settings can distinguish routine movement from alerts that need attention.
Family alert view
Example screen
Possible fall detected
Caregiver notification sent for a check-in.
Alert acknowledged
Primary contact confirmed receipt.
Night movement
Movement recorded along the bedroom route.
An illustrative activity view can help a family notice gradual changes across weeks. It is context for a conversation, not a clinical assessment.
Possible fall or incident
A sensor event can prompt a caregiver to check in. The alert cannot confirm an injury or explain its cause.
Unusual inactivity
Set a meaningful inactivity window around your parent's usual routine rather than treating every quiet period as an emergency.
Night movement or missed check-in
Configure notifications for selected night-time patterns or an expected check-in that has not happened.
Access stays household-led. Choose authorised caregivers, the details they can see, and which events reach them. Alert history can help families discuss changes over time.
Monitoring notifications are not medical diagnosis.
This service supports awareness and a family response. It does not assess health, confirm a fall, or replace a doctor's advice, hospital care, or emergency services.
Keep medical decisions with qualified professionals. Share activity trends with a care provider only if your family chooses.
If an alert arrives
Use your agreed plan.
- Check the alert details and contact your parent using the method you agreed together.
- If there is no reply or you are concerned, ask the next authorised contact to check in.
- Contact emergency services when the situation appears urgent. Do not wait for another system notification.
An alert is a prompt to check, not a diagnosis.
05 / Plan a suitable setup
Arrange a monitoring assessment for your parent.
We can review mobility, bathroom access, sleeping patterns, the HDB layout, and caregiver availability. Your parent should be part of the conversation about what is monitored and who receives alerts.
Start with their comfort and consent.
