Inturai

Wi-Fi sensing for health monitoring

Visit official site

What Inturai is

Inturai turns a building's Wi-Fi into a motion sensor. Instead of wearables or cameras, it analyses signal disturbances to detect movement and presence, pitched at elder care, home health and smart-space research with a privacy-friendly, non-intrusive framing.

What you can do with it

  • Monitor movement without worn devices
  • Detect unusual inactivity patterns
  • Build sensing into products via integration
  • Trial in care settings before scaling
  • Avoid camera-based privacy conflicts

Who it is for

  • Families supporting independent elders
  • Care operators evaluating contactless monitoring
  • Developers and researchers in spatial sensing

What to watch out for

  • Wi-Fi sensing detects motion, not medical events; a fall may register as nothing actionable
  • Continuous presence monitoring still requires consent and dignity safeguards for the person monitored
  • Accuracy in cluttered, multi-person homes is unproven at scale
  • Run a small pilot on real premises before committing to long-term deployment

Pros & cons

✓ What we like

  • No wearables solves compliance problems
  • Reuses existing infrastructure
  • Less intrusive than cameras

! What to watch out for

  • Detection is coarse, not clinical
  • Consent questions remain
  • Unproven in complex homes

FAQ

Can it detect falls?

It detects movement patterns; treat alerts as prompts for human checks, not emergency certainty.

Is it really private?

No cameras or wearables, but movement data is still sensitive; review the data policy.

How do I evaluate it?

Pilot in the actual space and measure false alerts before relying on it.
