The recognized experts in fall detection 

Falls are the leading cause of fatal accidents in the over-65 population. To meet this challenge, since 2009 we have developed the most reliable automatic fall detection technology. It is designed to be integrated into products worn as wrist bracelets or pendants. When a senior falls heavily, an alert is sent without the need for the wearer to do anything.

How does it work?

The 3 key stages of automatic fall detection:

The detection

The person wearing a bracelet or pendant integrating our technology falls heavily to the ground. The sensors detect a loss of balance, an increase in speed and a strong impact on the ground.

Analysis

The algorithm analyzes the reaction of the person on the ground for 30 seconds. If he/she remains motionless and/or fails to get up, the fall detection is confirmed.

The alert

Once the fall has been confirmed, an alert is automatically sent to a transmitter which relays the alarm to a telecare operator or a relative.

The highest fall detection accuracy

Our automatic fall detection technology is designed to detect heavy falls. A fall is technically considered to be heavy if it involves speed combined with a strong impact on the ground. Our unique algorithm is generations ahead of others.

The expectation of users help will arrive in case of a fall, therefore the highest possible percentage of detection is crucial. For the telecare operator, reducing false alarms is essential to maximize call center efficiency.

Our fall detection technology has become the reference in Europe thanks to the proven highest fall detection performance combined with the lowest false alarm rates. In laboratory testing versus other detectors, Telecom Design is always rates first thanks to our unique technology and multiple international patents. Put us to the challenge!
