    Luna Lights focuses on developing products that provide older adults with tangible benefits. Our products seamlessly integrate into the lives of older adults, so they don’t need to make lifestyle compromises to remain happy, healthy, and independent.

    Falls are the number one cause of injury for older adults and over half of all residents in assisted living communities (ALCs) will experience a fall in the next year. Nighttime falls are of great concern in these communities because there is the least staffing and lowest resident visibility. Many older adults refuse to use wearable monitoring solutions at night and sensor technologies are often expensive and complex, so there aren’t any current solutions that effectively address the issue.

    Luna Lights consists of an ultra-thin pressure sensor that detects when a user gets out of bed and immediately turns on small, wireless lights around the home. When the user returns to his or her bed, the sensor turns the lights off automatically. Additionally, a software component collects data regarding the frequency and duration that an adult is out of bed at night. Our system sends a text notification to a caregiver if an older adult is out of bed for an unreasonable amount of time. It also allows caregivers to identify trends in nighttime trips and see which individuals are most at risk for falling.

    By combining tracking and illumination, Luna Lights provides a predictive and preventive experience that is currently unavailable on the market. Luna Lights simplifies the data collected in order to target the elderly population and uses the data in a very specific way: to warn family members and caretakers of potential health problems or falls.
