Fall prevention isn’t only about reducing accidents — it’s about making it possible for older adults to live with confidence and independence. On Fall Prevention Day, we’re reminded that the best care is proactive, protective, and nearly invisible — creating environments where clients feel safe, and caregivers can focus on connection instead of crisis. That’s the future we’re working toward every day at Pontosense, alongside partners who share our commitment to dignity and safety in aging. #FallPreventionDay #AgingInPlace #SilverShield #AmbientSensing #HealthTech

What if you could understand how someone was doing — without wearables, without cameras, without intrusion? We’re excited to share new features that strengthen our mission to create intelligent, protective environments for older adults and the people who care for them. For the first time, caregivers and families can access 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, delivered automatically while residents are in bed. Paired with new 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹, care teams now have even more context to support residents’ safety and wellbeing.

Behind every fall statistic is a patient, a family, and a care team. That’s why it means so much to be working with Spark Care to bring Silver Shield into care settings — exploring new ways to prevent falls and protect people. We are grateful to all our partners — together we can make care safer and gentler for those who need it most. #agetech #fallprevention #HealthcareInnovation #SilverShield
Today I joined the Fall Prevention Workshop hosted by London North West Healthcare NHS Trust, alongside our partners at Spark Care, to share how Silver Shield can support staff and patients. One takeaway really struck me: Falls are the most frequently reported incident in hospitals - with 247,000 every year in England alone. Behind that number are patients, families, and care teams facing the consequences every day. It’s why fall prevention deserves to be at the centre of healthcare conversations. At Pontosense, we’re proud to be bringing radar-based technology like Silver Shield into care settings - helping to reduce falls and improve outcomes where it matters most.

We had the privilege of joining 𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 in Arkansas, a gathering focused on how enabling technologies can better support the IDD and aging population. This was a highly targeted event with providers across disability and aging care—leaders who are exploring the next frontier of tools that can transform how they serve their patients. With a curated group of innovators, it was the perfect environment for meaningful conversations and collaboration. We were proud to take part in the exhibitor lightning round pitch and share how our solutions are helping shape the future of care. Pontosense transforms everyday spaces into intelligent, protective environments—using patented wireless radar and AI to monitor health, detect risks, and keep people safe without intrusion. Events like ETS highlight just how essential this technology is becoming for aging and disability care. Here’s to continuing the work of advocacy, innovation, and collaboration—so that more families, patients, and providers can experience safer, smarter care. Thank you to SimplyHome: Empowered by Technology and other sponsors for hosting us! #AgingCare #IDD #EnablingTech #Innovation #Pontosense

It was a great week at the HFX accelerator program kick-off! 🚀
Chief Commercial Officer @ Pontosense | mmWave, Agetech, Automotive | P&L Owner, Board Observer | Strategic Leadership & Rapid Growth | Innovation & Commercialization | Venture Building & Real Estate
Last week, I had the privilege of joining the kickoff for the first cohort of the Hokkaido F Village X (HFX) accelerator program in Hokkaido, Japan — a collaboration between Scrum Ventures, Kitahiroshima City, and major Japanese corporate partners. Over the course of the week, we had the opportunity to meet with municipal leaders, large corporations, and local partners, exploring how we can bring our senior-care technology, Silver Shield, to the region. We were honored to pitch to stakeholders across Hokkaido and Japan, and the strong interest we received reinforced the urgency of this mission. Additionally, we had the unique opportunity to share our stories, challenges, and gather valuable insights from other game-changing global startups. The program drew extensive local and national media coverage, highlighting just how critical this initiative is to addressing one of Japan’s most pressing societal challenges: - A rapidly growing senior population - A shortage of facilities and professional caregivers (in some care homes, only 2 caretakers support 60 residents) - The need for technology to ensure safety, dignity, and longevity as more people age in place This is exactly where Silver Shield can make an impact — helping bridge the gap between limited caregiving resources and the rising needs of an aging society. We are excited to continue working with our new partners in Hokkaido and across Japan to deliver solutions that save lives and support families. I look forward to seeing my fellow cohorts as well as those at Scrum Ventures leading this initiative in February, back in Hokkaido, for Demo day to announce some exciting launches and developments! #HFX #Hokkaido #AgeTech Scrum Ventures STARTUP HOKKAIDO Pontosense
