Opening AI fall detection homes

WeConnect stands for digital and social connection. With their fiber optic network, weConnect also facilitates innovations that do not yet get off the ground elsewhere. For example, a pilot will run in which ten homes in Waalre will be equipped with Kepler Vision Technologies’ fall detection equipment and alarms for loved ones free of charge.

The target population are older people who want to live safely at home independently for longer and have an increased risk of falling. In fact, if someone falls in their own home later in life, it is essential for medical recovery that someone is found and helped as quickly as possible. This equipment is already being used in care and nursing homes, but nowhere yet is it being applied in the home situation. Waalre will therefore be the first in the Netherlands with this!

The official opening of the first AI fall detection homes in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Waalre is Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

We Connect collaborates with Leefsamen, Kepler Vision Technologies, Connectie Brainport, Stichting Wonen Welzijn Zorg Waalre and SPIE Nederland.
