One sensor type. Deployable anywhere. Attach Care Motion to a mattress, refrigerator, or medication bottle — each placement unlocks a distinct window into daily behavior.

Care Motion is a compact vibration and accelerometry sensor designed to detect motion events from objects it is attached to — without any camera, microphone, or participant interaction. Hanging from a mattress edge or adhered to a cabinet, it becomes a silent, continuous observer.
The same hardware, deployed differently, captures fundamentally distinct behavioral data streams — making it an exceptionally versatile tool across research domains.
Unobtrusive by design. Care Motion collects data passively — no wearables, no cameras, no scheduled check-ins. Participants simply live their lives, and the sensor observes without interruption.
Low cost, flexible deployment. A single, affordable sensor type adapts to entirely different research questions depending on placement. Teams can instrument multiple household objects within a modest budget.
An accessible entry point for early-stage research. Before committing to larger study infrastructure, Care Motion lets researchers test hypotheses in real-world settings with minimal setup — lowering the barrier to field research at any scale.
Longitudinal depth without participant effort. Continuous passive monitoring over weeks or months yields a behavioral record that self-report and short-term observation simply cannot match — all without placing any ongoing burden on participants.
Our research team can help you select the right sensor configuration and data pipeline for your specific research questions.
