The fall detector people love to wear.

Vibby Oak, from Telecom Design, is an automatic fall detector worn as a bracelet or a pendant, and Telecom Design describe it as the first wrist and neck-worn automatic fall detector to reach the market, with more than two million people protected across Europe. It detects a heavy fall on its own, and a central button sends a call for help at any time. The battery runs up to three years, so it stays on through months of ordinary life. Curated into Care Daily's Ambient Operating System, a Vibby alert arrives with the context of the whole home around it.

Worn on the wrist or around the neck, and the wearer picks.

Compliance is the whole problem with a fall detector, and it is settled by whether somebody wants to put it on. So the Vibby Oak leaves the choice with the wearer: a bracelet or a pendant, a range of strap colors, and a battery that runs up to three years, which keeps a charger out of the arrangement entirely.

What it does

Protection that travels with the person.

Heavy-fall detection
The algorithm reads the wearer's movement, and a sudden fall followed by an inability to get up raises an alarm on its own. The published detection rate on heavy falls is 87%.
Care Daily addsthe alert arrives with ambient context
A warning before it sends
The Oak vibrates and flashes before the alarm goes, so a wearer who is fine can cancel it. Fewer false alarms means a device people keep wearing.
Care Daily addsfewer interruptions for staff and family
Manual SOS button
A raised push button in the middle of the device sends a call for help whenever the wearer wants one.

How it works

What actually happens when somebody falls.

Telecom Design document the sequence precisely, and the part worth reading is the end of it. The device warns before it calls anyone, and it can be stopped two ways.

1

An ordinary day

The device follows movement and activity in the background.

2

A heavy fall, and nobody gets up

A sudden loss of balance, a powerful impact with the floor, and a person who stays down. Tremors are accounted for, so they still count as a fall.

3

Thirty seconds of warning, on the wrist

It flashes and vibrates for thirty seconds to say an alarm is coming. Nothing has been sent yet.

4

She can stop it, two ways

A palm laid over the face for two seconds cancels it, and standing back up cancels it on its own, read by a pressure sensor that measures a real change in height. If neither happens, the alarm goes to the hub and on to the call center.

Better together

Confirmed, not guessed

A wearable alert plus a radar reading confirms a real fall and cuts false alarms.

The right people, first

The home's Care Daily emergency number routes the alert to family and staff in the right order.

How the integration works

Wearable alerts into the ambient operating system.

Vibby Oak connects through Telecom Design's telecare platform, and its fall and SOS events flow into Care Daily's open platform, where the AI Ambient Assistants reason over them alongside ambient signals and route the right response.

What it does not doTelecom Design state it plainly in their own installation guide, and so do we: “Fall detection technologies that underpin the automatic fall detection do not allow detection or interpretation of all fall situations.” It is an alarm system that adds protection when somebody cannot raise the alarm themselves. Care Daily makes no claim that any product reduces falls.

Vibby Oak is a product of Telecom Design. Fall-detection methodology and specifications are provided by Telecom Design. Care Daily integrates and contextualizes Vibby Oak events within the Ambient Operating System.

Who this is for

The point of it is the afternoon in the garden.A fall detector earns its place by being unobtrusive enough that somebody keeps living the life they were living. It is worn through an ordinary day and asks nothing until the day it has something to say.
