Vayyar Imaging has announced the launch of Walabot Home. Walabot Home detects if a person has fallen and automatically places a call for help, without requiring any wearables. Walabot HOME is Vayyar’s flagship product in a new line of smart home devices being developed to ensure seniors stay connected when it matters most.

Vayyar has created Walabot Home to eliminate the need to carry a fall detection device by discreetly monitoring for a fall. The Walabot Home operates in the background just like a smoke detector sensor. Simply place it on the wall and forget about it. Users can place a call to their emergency contact at any time with the push of a button on their Walabot Home device.

Walabot Home is easy to install and does not require further action once it has been set up. The device uses advanced, low-power radio wave technology, similar to Wi-Fi, instead of cameras, to monitor individuals’ movements. Walabot Home also works in a wide range of conditions that cameras cannot, including steam and darkness, and can sense through objects like curtains and glass walls.
