RoomMate

RoomMate is an infrared safety sensor designed with discretion and privacy in mind. It provides awareness of room‑level activity and highlights events that may require attention, such as potential falls, notifying care teams so they can assess the situation and decide on appropriate follow‑up.

By giving care teams a clearer overview of activity patterns over time, RoomMate supports more informed planning, prioritisation, and follow‑up in daily care routines. This reduces uncertainty, helps teams focus their time where it is most needed, and supports more efficient and less disruptive care. Customers report that this improved organisation of care can contribute to fewer fall incidents in their settings, with some seeing reductions of up to 80%.

 RoomMate is primarily used in elderly and residential care settings, as well as assisted living facilities.

RoomMate can support early awareness of a range of events and situations, including:

• Falls – identifies activity associated with a fall, without the need for wearables.
• Sitting up in bed – provides an alert if a person sits up during the night, enabling timely intervention.
• Leaving the bed – identifies when a resident gets out of bed.
• Leaving the chair – detects when a resident leaves a chair.
• Activity – monitors general movement within the room.
• Room entry – alerts when someone enters the room, including during times when this may be unexpected.
• Room exit – notifies care teams when a resident leaves the room.
• High sound levels – detects raised vocalisations, such as calls for help.
• Movement in bed – identifies movement patterns, highlighting periods of lower or higher activity to support care teams in prioritising follow-up and assessing when further action may be appropriate

The RoomMate sensor provides several options for care teams in a care situation. If there is an alarm or warning, you will receive an anonymised image of the room, so that it can be assessed whether the incident is of a serious nature and requires action. Care teams can also use the app's audio functions to either contact the resident or listen into the room to assess the severity of the incident. In addition, two-way speech can also be set to speak to the resident. Listening can also be done anonymously, so that you cannot hear what is being said, but assess the situation based on voice volume and intensity. When the cause of the alarm has been clarified, the notification is acknowledged, and notes can also be made directly in the medical record system from the RoomMate or Sensio Pocket app.
