SafeAlert™ by NewCareTec

Listen to our founder explain why we started NewCareTec and how SafeAlert™ provides a better solution to address the dangers of residential stairwells

Founder’s Statement

SafeAlert™ is an autonomous, facilities-based, non-intrusive, monitoring and alerting technology. The devices mount unobtrusively in the stairwell, are battery-powered, and use local AI analysis designed specifically to detect a fallen or stranded individual in a stairwell.

By autonomously and continually monitoring stairwells 24/7/365, SafeAlert™ is able to detect a stairwell incident without burdening residents or building staff. Only when the system issues a real-time alert message does a responder need to promptly attend to an identified stairwell and provide assistance to a fallen or stranded person.

SafeAlert™ provides statistics on fallen, stranded, and self-recovered individuals to enhance proactively addressing stairwell risks.

Being designed from the ground up to address the dangers of residential stairwell, SafeAlert™ is a comprehensive stairwell safety solution that overcomes the shortcomings of alternative generic systems.
