AI sensors help hundreds live independently at home

Hundreds of people are now able to live more safely and independently at home in Medway thanks to new care technology.

The system, called Lilli, uses small, discreet sensors and artificial intelligence to understand a person's daily routines, helping people stay in their homes and avoid unnecessary moves into residential care.

Medway Council said the technology had already helped save £1.6m in its first year.

Brett Burnell, whose father Keith lives with dementia and has the system installed in his flat, said: "I can check that he's safe within his home and it allows him to continue to be at home for the foreseeable future."
