Statistics tell us that falls are common. AUGi defies statistics. It detects shifts in movement, irregular patterns, and potential hazards. When every second counts, AUGi acts swiftly to alert care associates.

AUGi learns rhythms—the morning shuffle, the afternoon pause, the evening return to bed. It adapts, becoming attuned to unique needs.

When they see anomalies, they notify the community care team so we can engage early to evaluate potential underlying causes.
