Catch decline before the fall

The problem everyone faces, and the gap nobody's solved

Falls don't come out of nowhere. They come after weeks or months of subtle, measurable decline: a shorter stride, a wobblier balance, a slower gait. By the time anyone notices — by the time the fall happens — it's already too late to prevent it.

Facilities and families have tried to solve this with cameras. Cameras are invasive (nobody wants one in a bedroom or bathroom), create privacy and liability exposure, and still require a human to watch hours of footage. Most of the time, nobody does. Wearables help with fall detection after the fact — but they require the resident to remember to wear and charge a device, and they don't tell you anything until the moment the fall happens.

The gap: a way to continuously, passively, and privately track whether someone is getting less steady — and to alert care staff or family the moment something changes or something goes wrong.

What "catching decline before the fall" actually means

BioAlign Care monitors gait and balance — the physical signals that predict fall risk — continuously and without the resident doing anything. No wearable, no scheduled test. It uses the right sensor for each space: in common areas, vision-based analysis measures how each resident actually walks — stride, pace, steadiness; in private spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms, radar does the watching — never a camera — so movement and overnight wellness are covered without ever putting a camera where one doesn't belong. The footage is analyzed on the on-site appliance and never leaves the building.

What it produces:

• A fall-risk score per resident, updated over time
• Trend lines showing whether someone is improving, stable, or declining
• Alerts when the data suggests someone needs a clinical look — a gait change, a new unsteadiness, a pattern that warrants a physical-therapy consult or a medication review
• An immediate alert to staff the moment a fall or unusual event is detected

The goal is to put that information in front of your care team while there's still time to do something about it — before an incident, before an ER visit, before a move-out.

The clinical backing

Our gait analysis was validated against laboratory optical motion-capture — the gold standard used in research settings — with accuracy at or near the best published results for single-camera gait analysis. The fall-risk screening protocol is grounded in the CDC's STEADI program, the same framework clinicians use.

We say it clearly: this is a validated screening aid in active validation — not an FDA-cleared diagnostic, and not a prospectively-proven fall predictor. We're expanding validation with our facility partners. Precision matters when you're making clinical decisions about real people.

The difference it makes

The shift from reactive to proactive isn't just clinical — it's operational. Fewer emergency incidents means less staff disruption at 2 a.m., fewer family calls after a crisis, fewer incident reports, and a stronger liability position. The system costs a fraction of one serious fall, and insurers often discount premiums for facilities with a documented detection-and-prevention system — frequently covering a meaningful part of the cost.
