- Workflow
-
The source describes planned installation of 184 sensors across six care homes, with follow-up reviews at three and six months. The system combines microphones and infrared sensing with an application for care staff.
- Human oversight
-
Not assessed
- Relation to AI
-
The planned system uses machine learning to establish resident behavior profiles and alert staff to sounds, movement, or changed patterns. The source precedes outcome evaluation, so AI’s contribution to better sleep, fewer falls, or improved care is not established.
