Passive Monitoring
What is Passive Monitoring?
Constant Vigilance, Zero Effort
The Silver Shield eliminates the biggest weakness in medical alerts: user forgetfulness. Research shows many seniors do not wear their pendants at night or in the shower—the two highest-risk times for falls. The Silver Shield remains active 24/7, covering these "blind spots" automatically.
​
Intelligent Filtering (Low False Alarms)
Traditional motion sensors are often triggered by pets or falling objects. The Pontosense AI is trained to recognize the specific "velocity profile" of a human fall, significantly reducing false alarms while ensuring high-impact events are never missed.
​
Seamless Room Integration
With its sleek, minimalist design, the Silver Shield blends into any home decor. It is small, unobtrusive, and requires only a standard power outlet to provide a "safety net" over an entire room.
