What is Amba?
Amba transforms care by spotting subtle changes in a residents routine. Discreet sensors highlight daily habit changes, like unusual sleeping patterns or increased bathroom visits at night. This allows our teams to intervene early with personalised support, keeping residents safe and independent without feeling constantly watched.
Designed with dignity and privacy at its core, Amba works quietly in the background without cameras or intrusive deceives. Amba’s technology respects independence while equipping teams with meaningful data to improve safety, confidence and day-to-day decision-making.
By introducing Amba across our homes, we are strengthening our commitment to delivering proactive, individualised care. The insights it provides help our teams respond sooner, support residents more effectively, and create safer, more responsive environments where people can truly thrive.
Sarah Leskinen-Keel, our Chief Operating Officer, shares why Amba is such a meaningful addition to our homes. Discover how this discreet technology helps us support residents safely while respecting their independence and individuality.
Meeting the need for proactive care
With increasing demand for safe, personalised care, Amba enables care teams to respond quickly to changing needs. The system collects insights into sleep, movement, activity levels, medication adherence, and overall health trends, allowing teams to intervene early and present issues before they escalate.
Amba is particularly effective in supporting residents who benefit from continuous, discreet monitoring, ensuring independence is maintained while providing peace of mind for families and care providers.
How Amba works
Amba shifts care from reactive to proactive by building a personalised wellness profile for each resident, without the need for intrusive cameras or microphones. By utilising discreet, passive sensors, we gather real-time data on daily routines such as sleep patterns, movement and activity levels.
These insights are displayed on a simple dashboard, alerting care teams before an issues arises. For example, if the sensors detect a restless nights sleep, our teams are alerted immediately. This allows us to check on the residents early and enables our teams to provide personalised timely support that keeps them safe, independent while still ensuring their privacy.
