Features & Technology

How relia­bly does Sen­s­Flo­or reco­gni­ze falls?2023–09-21T12:03:52+02:00

Sen­s­Flo­or is the world cham­pi­on of reco­gni­zing falls. After all, if someone falls, they’ll end up lying on the floor—precisely whe­re the sen­sors are loca­ted. It doesn’t mat­ter whe­ther the fall was slow, behind fur­ni­tu­re or in sun­light. Sen­s­Flo­or reco­gni­zes every fall and relia­bly calls for help.

Can Sen­s­Flo­or help me pre­vent falls too?2023–09-21T13:04:13+02:00

Yes, you can have Sen­s­Flo­or noti­fy you if someone who is sus­cep­ti­ble to falls gets up during the night, so that you can pro­vi­de time­ly sup­port and pre­vent them from falling.

If you like, you can also have Sen­s­Flo­or switch on a gui­de light when someone gets up at night.

Does the sys­tem use AI?2023–09-21T13:11:09+02:00

Yes, AI is used for eva­lua­ting the situa­ti­on in the room.

Does Sen­s­Flo­or redu­ce the workload for nur­sing staff?2023–09-21T13:12:01+02:00

Yes, nur­ses can take in the situa­ti­on on their ward at a glan­ce and go direct­ly to whe­re they are nee­ded wit­hout making unneces­sa­ry rounds. That gives them more time to work with residents.

They also recei­ve auto­ma­tic noti­fi­ca­ti­ons in an emer­gen­cy (falls or, upon request, when someone gets up at night or lea­ves their room). While employees do their jobs in peace, Sen­s­Flo­or moni­tors the remai­ning rooms—a reassu­ring feeling.

How are the data trans­fer­red?2023–09-21T13:12:41+02:00

The sen­sors in the Sen­s­Flo­or under­lay trans­mit data to a small recei­ver within the same room. Here, Sen­s­Flo­or soft­ware pro­ces­ses the data, gene­ra­ting noti­fi­ca­ti­ons or trig­ge­ring actions, depen­ding on the situa­ti­on. Data from every room are trans­fer­red via a LAN to the ward ter­mi­nal, whe­re the infor­ma­ti­on is dis­play­ed in a clear, com­pact for­mat in a brow­ser on a PC or tablet.

Can Sen­s­Flo­or be con­nec­ted to other assis­tance sys­tems?2023–09-21T13:13:23+02:00

Yes, its open inter­faces mean that Sen­s­Flo­or can also be con­nec­ted to other assis­tance systems.

How quick­ly does it gene­ra­te an alarm?2023–09-21T13:14:04+02:00

The Sen­s­Flo­or sys­tem responds instant­ly to a fall and imme­dia­te­ly sends an alert for help, gua­ran­te­e­ing rapid support.

Can you use the Sen­s­Flo­or sys­tem to turn on lights or open doors too?2023–09-21T13:14:52+02:00

Yes, it’s a con­ve­ni­ent fea­ture that makes sen­se, espe­ci­al­ly for peo­p­le with phy­si­cal or men­tal impairments.

My mother has demen­tia — how can Sen­s­Flo­or help her and me in our dai­ly rou­ti­nes?2023–09-21T13:59:45+02:00

Peo­p­le with demen­tia have been shown to fall more fre­quent­ly. For the­se peo­p­le, the auto­ma­tic fall alert is a huge help in an emer­gen­cy. After all, peo­p­le like your mother who suf­fer from demen­tia are usual­ly too upset to remem­ber that they have to press an emer­gen­cy call button.

In addi­ti­on, if your mother has a ten­den­cy to wan­der, the sys­tem can alert you if she lea­ves her apart­ment at night. Other con­ve­ni­ent fea­tures, such as auto­ma­tic light and ven­ti­la­ti­on, are like­wi­se hel­pful opti­ons for peo­p­le with dementia.

Who is cont­ac­ted in the event of an emer­gen­cy?2023–09-21T13:17:33+02:00

We will set up the sys­tem howe­ver you like. In nur­sing homes, most of our cus­to­mers pre­fer to be noti­fied via their call sys­tem. In assis­­ted-living situa­tions or in pri­va­te homes, it may make sen­se to have alerts sent to a medi­cal alert sys­tem pro­vi­der, to an out­pa­ti­ent care ser­vice or to fami­ly mem­bers via an app.

What are the tech­no­lo­gy requi­re­ments?2023–09-26T06:13:41+02:00

All you need is an elec­tri­cal out­let and access to WiFi or a LAN.

Our nur­sing beds are very hea­vy — will that dama­ge the sen­sors in the flo­or?2023–09-21T13:28:49+02:00

No, that’s not a pro­blem. The sen­sors respond to pro­xi­mi­ty and not to pres­su­re. You can fur­nish your rooms howe­ver you like.

Installation

Can Sen­s­Flo­or be instal­led under tiles or par­quet flo­o­ring too?2023–09-21T11:56:35+02:00

It’s enti­re­ly up to you. Sen­s­Flo­or works under any kind of flooring.

What hap­pens to Sen­s­Flo­or if I want to replace the flo­o­ring?2023–09-21T11:58:48+02:00

Sen­s­Flo­or rests under­neath your flo­o­ring but is not bond­ed to it, making the flo­o­ring mate­ri­al easy to replace.

Can I use Sen­s­Flo­or in an exis­ting buil­ding?2023–09-21T12:01:38+02:00

Sen­s­Flo­or can be rea­di­ly instal­led during the pro­cess of reno­vat­ing your floors.

What is the maxi­mum sur­face area I can cover with Sen­s­Flo­or?2023–09-21T13:06:23+02:00

The flo­or area is enti­re­ly up to you. The sen­sor mate­ri­al has been deve­lo­ped in such a way that it will work on any sca­le and can be inte­gra­ted into any layout.

Whe­re can I take a look at an exis­ting Sen­s­Flo­or instal­la­ti­on?2023–09-21T13:07:08+02:00

We would be hap­py to pass along the names of cus­to­mers who will let you look at their Sen­s­Flo­or installation.

Does Future-Shape install Sen­s­Flo­or?2023–09-21T14:01:08+02:00

Depen­ding on the coun­try and regi­on, eit­her Future-Shape will install the sys­tem our­sel­ves or we will have it done by one of our cer­ti­fied partners.

How long does Sen­s­Flo­or last?2023–09-21T13:09:47+02:00

All of the mate­ri­als we use have been inspec­ted. The long-term sta­bi­li­ty of com­pon­ents that are cri­ti­cal for ser­vice life is tes­ted at ran­dom and appro­ved for com­pon­ents that can with­stand loads for more than 20 years.

Can you use Sen­s­Flo­or out­side of buil­dings?2023–09-21T13:23:26+02:00

Sen­s­Flo­or has been desi­gned for inte­ri­or appli­ca­ti­ons. Plea­se feel free to cont­act us if you are plan­ning out­door appli­ca­ti­ons. We have a solu­ti­on for this as well.

What hap­pens to the sen­sors in the event of water dama­ge?2023–09-21T13:24:05+02:00

Sen­s­Flo­or reco­gni­zes pudd­les and even reports them, which means it can pre­vent lar­­ge-sca­­le water dama­ge. When mois­tu­re pene­tra­tes indi­vi­du­al are­as, Sen­s­Flo­or will work again as soon as the flo­or has dried. If the­re are are­as whe­re Sen­s­Flo­or has been com­ple­te­ly under water, indi­vi­du­al Sen­s­Flo­or patches may need to be replaced.

Data Privacy

How does Future-Shape ensu­re that my per­so­nal data will not be com­pro­mi­sed?2023–09-26T06:09:36+02:00

Sen­s­Flo­or only coll­ects moti­on data—there are no came­ras that could record images or point clouds of bodies. Data are stored local­ly in the room and are not uploa­ded to any exter­nal ser­vers or to the cloud.

What hap­pens to the data that Sen­s­Flo­or coll­ects?2023–09-26T06:10:00+02:00

The data that Sen­s­Flo­or coll­ects are loca­ted in the same room as the recei­ver. No data are pro­ces­sed or saved in the cloud. Data sove­reig­n­ty is in your room, in other words. In nur­sing faci­li­ties, data can be cal­led up via the facility’s inter­nal net­work for pur­po­ses such as ana­ly­zing the num­ber of falls per month.

Can I iden­ti­fy peo­p­le?2023–09-26T06:10:09+02:00

No, no per­so­nal data of any kind are coll­ec­ted or stored.

Does the sys­tem use came­ras?2023–09-26T06:10:16+02:00

No, no came­ras are used. No images of any kind are gene­ra­ted of resi­dents — your home remains your own pri­va­te sanctuary.
