InvisiAngel is an autonomous sensing solution for motion monitoring and fall detection. It uses radar-based sensing and advanced data processing to identify risky situations in time and immediately alert staff. Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch observed how the system operates in the everyday environment of a social care facility.
“InvisiAngel uses radar and advanced data analysis to reliably detect falls, including their severity, while significantly reducing false alarms. A key advantage is that it operates without cameras, meaning it does not interfere with residents’ privacy,” says Martin Černý, head of the research team at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VSB–TUO.
The ceiling-mounted device enables continuous monitoring of the space and instantly notifies staff of incidents via mobile phone, computer, or tablet. Another major benefit is its easy deployment—only
a power supply and network connection are required, without the need for construction modifications or complex infrastructure.
“We are currently testing the system in ten rooms,” said Marek Tejzr, Director of the Sluníčko Care Home. The facility provides social care services for seniors and individuals with reduced self-sufficiency who require regular support in daily life. In such an environment, timely fall detection is essential for ensuring client safety.
The technology is currently being validated under real operating conditions and has already been piloted in several other social care facilities. The goal is to prepare it for broader use in social and healthcare services as well as in home care.
The system is being developed by the Biomedical Engineering research team at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava, which focuses on sensor systems, data processing, and assistive technologies.
