New sensing technology gives unprecedented accuracy and reliability to falls detection for vulnerable people
Essence SmartCare, part of Essence Group, pioneers of a new telecare approach that creates safer living environments for seniors and vulnerable people, announces the launch of MDsense, the first multi-dimensional fall detection solution available to the global care market.
Current fall detection solutions suffer from inaccuracy and lack of reliability, with a high ratio of false alarms reported by major service providers as the greatest pain point in dealing with senior falls. Further, Essence research has found that less than half of those in residential care wear fall detection devices, significantly increasing the risk of reliance on wearable technology for falls management.

MDsense provides whole residence fall protection by monitoring events using only wall mounted intelligent sensors rather than wearable devices. MDsense enables caregivers to react quicker to verified falls while maintaining resident’s complete privacy. It has no video or sound function, operates seamlessly 24/7, is wire free, works in light or dark rooms, is waterproof and can differentiate between multiple people and pets.
Building on current evolving digital telecare solutions, MDsense is part of Essence’s Care@Home, a complete, certified, cloud-connected advanced Telecare solution. Care@Home uses AI and Machine Learning, to continuously collect actionable data to ensure ongoing learning, enabling accurately rapid response to fall events, better care management and more positive outcomes.
Dr. Haim Amir, Founder and CEO of Essence Group, said: “Current fall monitoring systems leave the responsibility for alerting carers about a fall to the resident. MDsense enables independence and is always there, ready to support when needed, offering real peace of mind for both the cared-for and the carer. With this global launch, we now provide complete fall protection in every room, which current classic Telecare solutions cannot provide.”

We believe that our multi-dimensional technology will make the walls of care facilities smarter and ultimately make the home safer, allowing seniors and vulnerable people to live longer, better, with fewer worries about falling which impact their freedom and self-esteem.”
