We are excited to announce the release of the latest firmware version 2.0.502 for AltumView Sentinare activity sensor, which includes a significant enhancement to our already industry-leading fall detection algorithm that can effectively reduce typical false alarms, such as those triggered by sitting in a wheelchair, while maintaining accurate detection of genuine falls. This important milestone will make our product more appealing to both individual and institutional customers.

This update reflects our continuous commitment to protecting the safety of elderly individuals and providing peace of mind to their families and other caregivers. We are also working on incorporating the latest large vision-language AI models to bring more powerful features to our product in the near future.

Since 2018, AltumView has developed the world leading Sentinare smart activity sensor. It uses the latest AI technology to monitor the activity of people, collect health statistics, and notify caregivers when emergencies such as falls are detected. To protect privacy, only stick figure animations are transmitted instead of videos.

AltumView has become a global leader in privacy-preserving AI for healthcare. Our product received CES 2021 Innovation Award Honoree, and was one of only three fall detection devices integrated into Amazon’s Alexa Together emergency service, with the best Amazon review among the three products. In addition to US and Canada, our product has been adopted by customers from more than 10 countries, including Japan, Australia, Spain, Italy, and Netherlands.
