Our Finnish innovation Elsi® Smart Floor is an intelligent technology system designed specifically for the needs of care homes and assisted living units. The system consists of thin sensor films installed beneath the floor surface and the MariCare Solution user interface, which together form a capacitive monitoring and alarm system.

Elsi® Smart Floor detects residents’ movements in real time and sends notifications to care staff regarding events such as falls, bed exits, bathroom visits, or leaving the room. Care professionals receive an up-to-date overview of the entire ward or an individual resident’s location and activity, supporting timely care while respecting residents’ privacy.

The system helps monitor residents’ activity levels and changes in behaviour, and the collected data can be utilised in assessing functional capacity. Elsi® is particularly well suited for people with dementia or cognitive issues, as it operates invisibly without blind spots.

Elsi® Smart Floor has already been installed in thousands of care home rooms worldwide. It has been proven to reduce falls and injuries, enable cost savings, improve staff satisfaction, and support the reorganisation of staffing resources, particularly during night shifts.

Elsi® Smart Floor is quick and easy to install in both existing and new buildings.
