Environmental monitoring is the use of smart sensors and connected devices to track conditions inside a property that may affect resident safety, wellbeing and property condition.
In supported living and housing environments, risks often come from the environment itself such as, water leaks, smoke, unsafe appliance use, damp & mould or changes in daily living patterns that indicate a resident may be struggling.
Environmental monitoring allows housing providers and care teams to see what is happening inside a property without needing to be physically present.
Many property-related incidents are preventable if detected early.
Water leaks, fire risks, appliance misuse and changes in daily routines can all indicate wider risks to both residents and the property.
Water damage and unnoticed leaks create significant repair costs
Fire safety remains a critical concern for vulnerable residents
Changes in ADL's go unnoticed until a crisis occurs
Environmental monitoring provides real-time alerts when something changes, allowing intervention before issues escalate.
