DORIS care™ · Assisted Living

No pendant. No camera.
No missed falls.

DORIS care (Data-Orientated Responsive Intervention System) is a standalone cellular device. Simply placed on a kitchen shelf, it monitors activity patterns in the homes of Vulnerable Independent People — discreetly, without any user interaction. Residents often forget it’s there.

No pendant needed Continuous monitoring No cameras or mics No Wi-Fi needed — works anywhere in the UK
What DORIS care does

Six reasons care providers choose DORIS

One standalone device per property. No hub. No Wi-Fi. Cellular only — delivering six capabilities that reduce hospital admissions and support independent living.

Detect falls remotely

Receive customised alerts when resident activity deviates from usual patterns. Early intervention reduces hospital stays and aids recovery — helping to relieve pressure on an already stretched NHS. Read: fall detected for a Sutton resident →

Fall detection

Identify dangerous temperatures

Continuous temperature monitoring alerts for extremes — too cold (fuel poverty, heating turned off) or too hot (heatwave risk for older residents).

Temperature alerts

Confirm daily activity

Humidity readings from the shower and kitchen contribute to the resident’s activity baseline — a passive, privacy-preserving way to confirm someone is up and going about their day.

Activity sensing

Daily wellbeing check

With activity continuously monitored, carers or family can confirm a vulnerable person is following their usual daily routine.

Routine tracking
How it works

From install to alert in four steps

DORIS care is designed for rapid deployment across any property type. No cabling. No configuration beyond a single pairing step.

1

Simple install

One standalone device per property, placed on a kitchen shelf. Contactless installation saves carer time. Replacement devices are automatically shipped when the battery runs low — no manual tracking needed.

Install time Under 2 min
2

Learn the routine

Over the first week, the device learns the resident’s activity baseline — when they rise, move around, and rest. No configuration needed.

Baseline period 7 days
3

Monitor continuously

Continuous activity monitoring, with regular alerts. The device alerts immediately on significant deviations from the resident’s established baseline.

Monitoring Continuous
4

Alert the right carer

Customised email or SMS notification to the assigned care worker or family member. The right person is informed immediately.

In the home

It sits quietly on a shelf. Residents forget it’s there.

DORIS care blends into the home environment — no wearables, no cameras, no microphones. The device is placed on the kitchen shelf and left. From that point, it monitors activity patterns, learns the resident’s routine, and alerts the right carer if something changes.

No training required for the resident. No buttons to press. No routine to follow. The technology works around the person, not the other way round.

“We have taken learnings from the previous lockdown and we are excited to work closely with IoT Solutions Group and Sutton Housing Partnership to support the way in which we manage our social care teams, the services that they commission from care homes and providers who give care in residents’ own homes.”

vs
DORIS
Important distinction

DORIS care is a sibling product to COSIE, not a module of it

Where COSIE monitors housing stock for compliance, DORIS care monitors individual vulnerable residents for wellbeing. Both use the same cellular connectivity approach — no Wi-Fi, no gateway — but serve different teams and different needs.

COSIE

Monitors housing stock · Compliance teams · Damp, legionella, retrofit · Property-level data

DORIS care

Monitors vulnerable residents · Care providers · Activity patterns · Individual wellbeing · Continuous activity monitoring

Three lives saved in the first year.
Yours could be next.

A research study found 80% of older people who fell alone did not use their call alarm. DORIS care monitors without any action from the resident — no button to press, no pendant to remember. Provided as a complete package — for less than the cost of a high street coffee per week. No product purchase costs, no connectivity charges, no data fees — a single low monthly fee covers everything. No need to deal with multiple vendors.

Technology doesn’t have to be complicated — we take care of the tech so that you can take care of your residents.
