Vayyar Imaging, the Israeli supplier of 4D imaging radar-based solutions, has

teamed up with Amazon to make Vayyar Care, Vayyar's touchless fall detection

solution, compatible with the new Alexa Together service from Amazon, launching

today.

Wall-mounted sensors use point cloud imaging technology to constantly monitor

their surroundings, providing peace of mind while respecting privacy. Vayyar

Care detects falls in all lighting conditions, including pitch darkness, and

even dense steam, making it ideal for use in bathrooms where 80% of falls

happen[1] and where customers may not want to have cameras.

After a fall, standard buttons and cords are often out of reach and even

wearables cannot guarantee round-the-clock protection: a third of seniors

forget to put on their devices, while a fifth refuse to use them[2], fearing

loss of independence.

In fact, over 90% of seniors now prefer to continue to live independently

rather than move into an assisted living community[3].

"We designed Alexa Together to help aging customers feel more comfortable and

confident living independently," said Nicolas Maynard, Senior Manager, Amazon

Alexa. "Alexa Together offers even more value for aging customers when they can

connect a device like Vayyar Care. We're excited to team up with Vayyar Imaging

to introduce this device and service compatibility for our shared customers."

When the Vayyar Care device detects a fall, it will send a signal to Alexa to

ask if the customer wants to call the Alexa Together Urgent Response emergency

helpline. Alexa will also send a notification to the aging loved one's

caregiver.

"With today's seniors more empowered and engaged than ever, there's a clear

need for smart technologies that enable them to maintain their lifestyles,

providing the protection they demand and the peace-of-mind their families

expect," said Raviv Melamed, Vayyar Co-founder and CEO. "That's exactly where

Vayyar Care comes in, and I'm delighted that we're able to play a pivotal role

in Amazon's new Alexa Together service."

Vayyar Care builds on the global success of the company's B2B platform, which

provides real-time fall detection and supports advanced activity analytics for

senior living communities in the U.S., EU, China, Australia, and beyond.

The multifunctional sensing technology relies on low-power radio frequency

waves, providing a safe, robust, and reliable solution for elderly people who

want 24/7 protection without compromising their privacy or independence.

Vayyar Care is available now from amazon.com.
