    What the evidence says

    1. Company claim

      Healthcare Brew reports that the lamp uses vision AI to map where furniture and people are, including whether someone is on the floor. When it detects a possible fall it asks the person whether they need help and contacts the care team if needed; images go to the cloud only after a fall and are deleted after 14 days.

    2. Independently verified

      Lancaster University's evaluation of the Lancashire and South Cumbria rollout covered April 2024 to March 2026. Falls per resident per month fell 32% (1.85 to 1.27), comparing each resident before and after the lamps went live rather than against a control group. Ambulance call-outs fell 23%; the drop in residential (as opposed to nursing) homes was not statistically significant. Staff response time to a fall improved from 11 minutes to about 3.
