Ever wondered if a tool can tell you where you are most likely to fall? Well, many believed it might not be possible or thought of it as a difficult task. But, now it might be possible. A new AI-powered tool can help people identify potential fall hazards inside their homes. It can do that by asking users to upload photographs of different rooms. The tool is called SafeHome AI.

It analyses the images and provides a report highlighting possible safety risks.

It was developed by Justin Strause. He is a physical therapist with experience in geriatric care and home safety.


The tool has one simple aim. It is designed to help older people and their families identify hazards that could make everyday movement more difficult.

It may include obstacles, slippery surfaces, unsafe stairs and other features that can increase the risk of falling.

How does it work?

Users have to first answer questions about their health, mobility and other factors. Then they are asked to upload images of the rooms they want to assess.

SafeHome AI will then analyse the images and the questionnaire responses. It will then generate a home-safety report. This will provide information about potential hazards and rank them by severity and suggest changes that could make the space safer.

Estimated costs for recommended improvements are also provided. This allows users to prioritise changes according to their needs and budget.

It is also useful for people who want to check their homes without immediately arranging an in-person assessment. Family members may also use it to review potential risks in the homes of older relatives who live alone or far away.

According to reports, a full assessment covering up to eight rooms costs $19.99 as a one-time payment. It also includes a downloadable PDF report.

Can it really help prevent falls?

Every technology has its own limitations. Sometimes images may not reveal every problem,, which includes changes in lighting throughout the day, the condition of flooring or the exact dimensions of a room.
