Automatic nighttime lighting
Maria lights the way the moment she gets out of bed at night — and lets family know if it looks like she’s fallen.*
The $99 Lighting Package
How It Works
The Hub mounts to the bed frame near the headboard and drives the light strip underneath. The same Hub notices when she gets up — and when something doesn’t look right.
Maria Hub
Mounted to the bed frame near the headboard. Illustrative installation.
If she gets up and doesn’t come back to bed within the expected time, Maria sends an alert.
Maria analyzes floor vibration for a pattern consistent with a fall.
Patent-pending. Maria learns each senior’s nighttime routine, including how long she’s usually away from bed. Alerts indicate a possible fall and need a working internet connection. Maria covers the bedroom; it is not whole-home fall detection.
An Unanswered Crisis
More Americans 65+ now die from falls than Americans of all ages die in traffic crashes. Even adjusted for age, the fall death rate more than doubled from 1999 to 2020.
U.S. deaths per year
Senior fall deaths quadrupled — and now outnumber traffic deaths for all ages combined.

The Maria Hub, a 6-meter LED light strip, a USB-C cable and a 5V/3A power adapter. The Hub mounts to the bed frame near the headboard and the strip goes underneath, so a warm light comes on when she gets up at night.
No. The lighting and caregiver fall alerts are included for a one-time $99. Maria Insights is an optional $19.95/month plan for families who want more, such as activity sensors on the toilet, walker, fridge and front door.
No. There’s no pendant or watch. The Hub plugs into the wall and works in the background.
From the bed frame, Maria looks for two signs: she got out of bed and didn’t return in the expected time, or the floor carried a vibration pattern consistent with a fall. Either one sends a possible-fall alert to the family caregivers she has agreed to. Maria’s fall detection is patent-pending and still being validated.
Yes. The under-bed lighting works offline. Caregiver fall alerts need a working home internet connection.
No. Maria doesn’t include 24/7 professional monitoring, and alerts go to family caregivers, not a call center or 911. Emergency escalation is being evaluated for the optional Maria Insights plan.
No. Maria focuses on the bedroom, where many nighttime falls begin. It is not whole-home fall detection. Optional activity sensors with Maria Insights add context from the toilet, walker, fridge and front door.
Never. Maria senses motion and vibration from the bed frame. Nothing is seen, heard or recorded.
She does. Caregiver fall alerts are set up with the senior’s agreement.
No. Maria is a home lighting and safety product. It isn’t a substitute for medical care or for calling 911 in an emergency.
Automatic nighttime lighting, with caregiver fall alerts included. No wearable. No mandatory subscription.
