CareMate

CareMate is a stationary elderly-safety monitor that catches falls using two independent signals. A worn ESP32 + motion sensor flags a possible fall, a camera hub confirms it with pose detection, and a confirmed fall fires a local alarm plus a real-time alert on a phone/web app — which can also ask "what's happening?" and get a live annotated view of the room.

Inside the build

Team Anshit

What they built: CareMate is a stationary elderly-safety monitor that catches falls using two independent signals. A worn ESP32 + motion sensor flags a possible fall, a camera hub confirms it with pose detection, and a confirmed fall fires a local alarm plus a real-time alert on a phone/web app — which can also ask "what's happening?" and get a live annotated view of the room.

What it solves: For older adults living alone — and the family and caregivers who worry about them — the real danger of a fall isn't the fall, it's the hours spent on the floor before anyone knows. CareMate detects it the instant it happens and alerts a caregiver, while requiring both the wearable and the camera to agree so it doesn't cry wolf. A safety net for aging in place — a prototype, not a medical device.
