Fall Detection Integration for Aged Care Homes
One of the most advanced solutions we support at Acetek is Vayyar Care Fall Detection, a falls detection and prevention system that utilises 4D radar sensors to detect fall events without the need for invasive cameras or wearable devices.
Unlike traditional pendants, sensor mats, or motion sensors, Vayyar Care uses advanced AI and machine learning to monitor entire resident spaces, including bathrooms, while preserving resident dignity and privacy. These intelligent algorithms analyse movement patterns in real time, enabling the system to accurately detect falls and distinguish between normal activity and potential incidents.
By integrating Vayyar Care with existing communication systems, Acetek ensures that fall alerts are delivered instantly to staff, wherever they are, enabling faster response times and better outcomes for residents.
How Acetek Integrates Vayyar Care
Acetek offers comprehensive consultation and design services to ensure seamless integration of Vayyar Cares Fall Detection system into your aged care home’s technology ecosystem. Our expert team begins with a detailed assessment of your existing infrastructure, identifying potential gaps or inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
We work closely with both IT and clinical teams to design tailored integration solutions that align with your operational goals, compliance requirements, with long-term scalability.
Acetek ensures your Vayyar Care system works together with your aged care home’s communication and nurse call infrastructure, including:
- Nurse Call System Integration – Seamlessly integrate with leading systems, so alerts appear on call handsets, phone, display panels, and annunciators.
- DECT/Wi-Fi Handsets – Deliver alert notifications directly to DECT/Wi-Fi-enabled mobile devices used by your clinical and care teams, allowing staff to respond immediately.
- Specific Alerts – Fall notification are displayed as “Fall Alert”, rather than standard room notifications, enabling staff to prioritise incident response.
Better Alerts, Faster Care Response: Fall Detection
Scenario: Mrs Smith in Room 12, is an 82-year-old, who has been living at your aged care home for two years. She requires minimal assistance with personal care, does not have a history of fall incidents and enjoys her independence with support.
At 2:13 am, Mrs Smith gets up from bed to use the bathroom and, unfortunately, has a fall in the bathroom. She has landed on her left hip, causing her a lot of pain and is unable to get herself up or press the nurse call. She is calling out for help.
Typical Incident Response
- Mrs Smith is reliant on staff hearing her calling out, or noticing Mrs Smith is not in bed during their scheduled routine checks OR
- Mrs Smith is eventually able to reach the bathroom nurse call and press for assistance
Automated and accurate fall detection is crucial in aged care because it ensures rapid staff intervention, improving resident safety, wellbeing, and quality of care. It also reduces the risks and liabilities faced by care providers.
The Vayyar Care Response
The ability to deliver instant alerts and differentiate between a call and a fall alert. By reaching the right people, with the right information, at the right time.
Vayyar Care integration enables faster response times without a reliance on accessories functioning as intended.
Vayyar Care intuitively detects that Mrs Smith has been an incident and triggers a ‘Fall Alert’ notification. Vayyar Care send the alert simultaneously to the nurse’s station phone, DECT/Wi-Fi phones of the care staff and Registered Nurse and to the nurse call display/annunciator.
The Registered Nurse and Care staff allocated receive a Fall alert. The Nurse responds immediately to assess Mrs Smith and the care staff ensure the other resident is safe then goes to room 12 to assist, minimising Mrs Smith’s pain and distress
The benefits of Vayyar Care:
- Faster incident response times, minimising resident’s discomfort and distress, and eliminating the risk of long-lie
- Instant notification of Fall events helping clinical and care staff prioritise incident response
- Accurate Post-fall analysis with incident investigation based on fall data. It removes the guess work for staff.
- Ability to review real-time fall data allowing for accurate, data-driven strategies and individualised quality improvements
Compliance and the Quality Standards in Aged Care
Integrating Vayyar Care into your home can help enhance compliance with the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards. By embedding fall detection into your communication systems, Acetek helps providers exceed the existing requirements and ready for 1st November 2025
Standard 1 – The Individual
Ensuring excellent care and services, is the universal goal of aged care providers. Real-time safety monitoring with intuitive AI, based on learning resident’s movement and accurate data, while preserving the individual’s dignity, privacy and confidentiality is the next step in resident safety
Standard 2 – The Organisation
Organisational and Clinical Governance responsibilities including risk management and maintaining safe systems of care. Incorporating Vayyar Care into your existing infrastructure, providers can easily demonstrate proactive management of falls. Reliable fall detection not only improves safety, it also provides accurate electronic records of incidents, supports clinical audits and reporting, as well as continuous improvement programs.
Standard 3 – Care and Services
Residents have the right to safe, effective and timely care. Vayyar Care integration ensures that falls are detected immediately and alerts are delivered to staff promptly. Vayyar care supports early intervention, reducing complications from falls from long-lie.
Standard 4 – The Environment
The physical environment must be safe, clean, and comfortable. Vayyar Care adds a non-intrusive safety layer in resident spaces and common areas without clutter. Identifies high-risk environments where falls commonly occur, guiding environmental quality improvements. Vayyar Care is a non-intrusive solution which preserves the homelike setting.
Standard 5 – Clinical Care
Clinical care must be safe, coordinated, and continuously monitored. Provides real-time data for clinical documentation, individualised care planning and quality indicator data. This rapid response capability supports better clinical outcomes by reducing the risk of complications, such as extended time on the floor or untreated injuries.
Standard 6 – Food and Nutrition
Nutrition and hydration must support health and wellbeing. Out of bed and fall data can indirectly highlight issues linked to malnutrition, dehydration, or medication interactions that increase fall risk. Vayyar care can support a proactive review of potential acute deterioration, allowing dietary and hydration strategies to be considered or eliminated as contributing factors.
Standard 7 – The Residential Community
Aged care environments should foster a sense of community where people feel safe, interconnected, and supported. Vayyar Care reassures residents, their families, and representatives that safety is actively managed. Building trust in the provider’s commitment to safety and wellbeing while promoting independence and participation in community life as least restrictive as possible.

Why Integration Matters
When technology works in isolation, it creates gaps in resident safety and adds unnecessary complexity for staff. Integration transforms the technology from a stand-alone device into a powerful safety solution that supports both residents and staff.
With full integration, your facility benefits from:
- Instant Alert Delivery – Alerts are pushed directly into the communication tools staff already use.
- Faster Response Times – Notifications reach staff wherever they are in the home, reducing the time between fall and intervention.
- Accurate Location Data – Alerts include details of the resident’s room or area, enabling staff to respond quickly and effectively.
- Improved Staff Workflow – Because alerts appear in familiar systems, there’s no need for additional apps or devices, and minimal training is required.
- Better Resident Outcomes – Faster intervention helps prevent complications such as extended time on the floor, dehydration, or worsening injuries.
Integration is not just about technology; it is about closing the gap between detection and care delivery.
