Problem addressed

Manual attendance, temperature checks, and CCTV review in caring centres are manpower-intensive. Existing solutions struggle with privacy and security. Our system automates these tasks while preserving privacy.

Innovation
  • Non-vision-based sensing: responds to brightness changes only, does not capture images, ensuring privacy.
  • Real-time local data processing eliminates the need for cloud transfer, boosting response speed and reducing power.
Key impact
  • Protects user privacy, ensuring no personal information is leaked during monitoring.
  • Enables instant detection of behavior and anomalies, supporting fast alerts and action.
  • Easily integrates with existing infrastructure; suitable for public and private spaces.
Application
  • Elderly or special care centre monitoring
  • Hospital ward monitoring
  • Public/private space anomaly detection
