Threshold Care Inc. has introduced Motion, the first noninvasive Wi-Fi sensing plug designed to provide caregivers with real-time motion insights without needing cameras or wearables. Motion is a user-friendly and affordable solution, prioritizing innovation, compassion, and privacy for caregivers and families without requiring behavioral changes.
“As life expectancy increases, so does the desire to age in place. Yet the growing need for non-intrusive, simple and accessible technology to ensure a loved one’s well-being has never been more urgent,” said Jacob Loader, managing director and co-founder of Threshold Care. “Motion delivers a practical solution that empowers caregivers with information that helps answer the vital question, ‘Is my loved one okay right now?’ without compromising privacy. It’s technology that respects the individual while providing peace of mind to those who care for them.”
According to AARP, more than 48 million Americans care for aging loved ones living independently. This vital caregiving role often carries a heavy financial burden and substantial physical and mental demands. Motion allows caregiving family members to receive focused insights into motion patterns within their loved ones’ homes without intruding on their privacy.
Motion uses the most advanced Wi-Fi sensing technology to detect motion by measuring disruptions in Wi-Fi signals. Each kit includes three smart plug sensors that can be easily placed in standard outlets throughout the home to create a comprehensive motion zone. These sensors communicate directly with the Wi-Fi router to provide real-time monitoring and insights on movement without capturing images or videos, ensuring the privacy of everyone in the home.
Caregivers can monitor motion patterns and access up to two weeks of motion data in the Threshold Care Mobile App, available on Android and iOS. The app provides an intuitive interface for real-time monitoring, ensuring that caregivers can stay informed about their loved one’s well-being. The app is simple to use and requires no ongoing maintenance, app check-ins, or training, allowing users to maximize the benefits of Motion with minimal time investment.
The Motion Wi-Fi Sensing Plug kit is USD 59.99 and available for purchase on Amazon and directly from the Threshold Care website.
