Kami Vision Expands KamiCare AI Fall Detection From Senior Living Facilities to Consumer Homes

PALO ALTO, CA, August 3, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Kami Vision, a Vision AI company specializing in computer vision for senior safety and home security, is extending its KamiCare fall detection platform from senior living communities into the consumer market, with a full residential rollout expected in the latter half of 2026.

The expansion targets a demographic shift that has outpaced the infrastructure built to support it. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four Americans 65 and older report falling each year, and fall-related healthcare costs exceed $80 billion annually. A survey from AARP indicates that 77% of adults over 50 want to remain in their own homes as they age.

Why KamiCare Fall Detection Works Without a Wearable

Conventional medical alert systems depend on the person who has fallen to summon help, whether by pressing a pendant, pulling a cord or reaching a phone. That assumption fails when someone is injured, disoriented, or unconscious.

KamiCare uses camera-based computer vision that detects falls without requiring any action from the user. When the system identifies a potential fall, an on-device algorithm triggers an alert, a cloud filter screens out false events such as a person bending to pick something up, and trained reviewers confirm genuine incidents using blurred, anonymized footage before escalation. Notification goes first to the individual, then to designated emergency contacts assigned during setup, who can reach emergency services directly through the app.

Kami Vision reports 99.5% fall detection accuracy based on internal analysis of documented incidents recorded across professional care deployments.

Enterprise Deployment First, Consumer Market Second

KamiCare entered senior living communities and skilled nursing facilities in 2022, adding BedExit detection in 2024 to alert staff when residents at elevated fall risk attempt to leave their beds unassisted. The platform has since operated across communities in the United States, with activity in the United Kingdom and Japan.

That sequencing is the company's central strategic argument. Rather than launching a consumer product and seeking clinical credibility afterward, Kami Vision refined the technology in environments where accuracy failures carry direct consequences, then extended it into homes.

"We were not asking senior living operators to bet on unproven technology," said Mike Link, chief operating officer of KamiCare. "We brought them a platform already deployed at scale across millions of homes, and now we are bringing what we learned in those facilities back to families."

Link added that the company's consumer security business gives it unusual latitude in how it serves institutional customers. "Because we are not dependent on enterprise contracts to keep the lights on, we can be genuinely customer-led. We build what operators and families actually need, on their timeline, rather than what closes a deal fastest."

Vision AI, Patents, and Privacy Architecture

Kami Vision holds 60 patents covering computer vision and camera technology. Its systems combine on-device processing with cloud infrastructure for verification, an architecture the company says reduces latency and limits how much visual data leaves the home.

Privacy design reflects the sensitivity of camera-based monitoring in residential settings. The system records only during detected events rather than continuously, professional reviewers see obscured footage, and unobscured video is accessible only to explicitly authorized contacts.

Company Roadmap Beyond Fall Detection

Kami Vision introduced a companion smart ring at CES 2026 that tracks heart rate, blood oxygen and sleep patterns, extending monitoring beyond the range of a camera. The company has described a longer-term interest in multi-sensor approaches, including radar-based detection for spaces where cameras are inappropriate.
