Fall Detection AI
- Detects a fall in under 30 seconds (target).
- Hybrid AI: video plus sensor fusion, not a single fragile signal.
- Designed for under one false alarm per 40 hours (target).
- Instant alerts to carers, family, and first responders.
Because true care does not care about the distance.
MedTrix is the only AI platform that detects falls in seconds and visually verifies every dose is actually taken. On one device. Starting in Ireland.
Watch the explainer: how MedTrix protects every elder and verifies every dose.
In Ireland, 861,000 people are over 65 today, set to pass 1 million by 2030. The danger concentrates in two places, and today’s tools miss both.
Falls are the number one cause of injury death in over-65s. The harm is often the time spent alone afterwards, waiting to be found.
Over half of elderly patients do not take their medication as prescribed, and no one can tell from a distance whether today’s dose was taken.
“Today’s tools detect or remind. None verify.”
Pendants need a button press. Sensors cry wolf. Dispensers confirm dispense, not intake. Apps assume a smartphone.
A reminder is not proof. A dispensed pill is not a taken pill. MedTrix is built to verify: it confirms a real fall in seconds and uses vision AI to confirm each dose is actually swallowed, not just handed over. That is the difference between hoping and knowing.
MedTrix runs both modules locally on a single edge device. Falls are caught in seconds and every dose is verified, with all processing kept on-device for privacy.
One on-device unit covers the room. No wearables for the resident to charge or remember.
Hybrid AI confirms a real fall and vision AI confirms each dose is actually taken, locally. Raw video stays in the building.
Instant, clear alerts reach carers, family, and responders, and an adherence dashboard keeps everyone aligned.
Other tools solve half the problem. MedTrix combines fall detection and medication-intake verification in one on-device product, with no wearable required.
| Falls | Med dispense | Med verify | No wearable | On-device | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MedTrix | Yes | Yes | ✓ | Yes | Yes |
| Nobi (smart lamp) | Yes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Hero Health (dispenser) | No | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Apple Watch | Yes | No | No | No | Yes |
| Medisafe (app) | No | No | No | Yes | No |
MedTrix is built privacy-first. Both AI modules run on the device and no raw video ever leaves the building; only confirmed events and the records carers need are shared, with the people who should see them. Monitoring is consent-led and inspectable.
“Camera-based monitoring that compromises dignity is not something we want to ship.”
Fewer falls, safer medication.
AI edge computing for healthcare.
Affordable, dignified monitoring for every setting.
AI in elderly care is growing fast (roughly €44.6B to €90.3B by 2031, about 15% CAGR). MedTrix starts where the need and the standards are clearest, Irish care homes, then expands to the wider EU care-home market and beyond.
“Falls and medication are our biggest problems, and we need something that works better than our current tech.” — Assistant Director, Dublin care home (May 2026)
MedTrix was born from a family story and built by a team across product, AI, and testing, mentored through Citi Upstart and the National College of Ireland.
