How It Works
Maria is a passive fall-detection sensor that learns your rhythm and quietly watches over you — no wearable, no camera, no charging.
Here's exactly what happens from the day it arrives to the moment it matters.
Why This Matters
Every bed exit, every walk to the bathroom, every transfer on and off the toilet is a moment where a fall becomes possible. Counted honestly, that's about 16 moments a day for a typical senior living alone.
Getting Started
No app setup marathon, no professional installer, nothing to configure beyond the first few minutes.
Attach the Sensor
Mounts to the bed frame in seconds — no tools, no wiring, and nothing to ever charge or replace batteries on.
Maria Learns Your Rhythm
Over the first couple of weeks, Maria quietly builds a picture of what's normal for you — when you go to bed, how you move, your own patterns.
You're Notified If Something's Off
A likely fall, or a meaningful gap in activity, sends a gentle alert to the caregiver's app. Nothing reaches anyone unless it matters.
Why Maria Is Accurate
Neither signal alone is perfect. Together, they catch real falls fast — and rarely raise a false alarm.
Behavioral Pattern Detection
Maria learns each person's daily rhythm — when they wake, when they move, when they're usually up and about. A meaningful break from that pattern, like not getting up when they always do, raises a flag.
Physical Impact Signature
The sensor also senses the distinct vibration signature of a fall through the floor or bed frame — different from a dropped object, a pet, or normal movement.
A behavioral anomaly on its own is a signal worth watching. A physical impact on its own is a signal worth watching. Together, they let Maria confirm a likely fall faster, with far fewer false alarms.
Older adults treated in U.S. emergency rooms every year for bed-related falls — more than a third during the transition into or out of bed.

People treated in U.S. emergency departments annually for bathroom injuries — about 4 in 5 caused by a fall.
