Independence and safety, hand in hand — without cameras in the room

AUGi is a cutting-edge smart device mounted on your apartment wall that notifies your care team if it detects a safety concern.

• AUGi alerts your care team when you get out of bed or a chair, giving them valuable time to assist or intervene during higher-risk moments.
• It uses multiple sensors and intelligent software to monitor activity in your apartment. If it detects unusual activity, such as getting out of bed unassisted at night, AUGi notifies your care team of a potential issue.
• If AUGi identifies movement patterns that suggest a fall (e.g., lying on the floor), it automatically alerts the care team for immediate action.

While AUGi is not a medical device, it’s an advanced technology platform supporting Áegis Living’s ongoing commitment to your safety and well-being.

This innovative system was developed by Inspiren, a nurse-led organization dedicated to enhancing the safety of older adults through technology.

Your privacy is as important to us as your safety. AUGi was designed with both in mind:

• It collects only the minimum data necessary to promote your safety.
• Unlike traditional video cameras, AUGi does not capture clear images of activity. Residents appear as stick figures, and apartment details are blurred to ensure privacy.
• AUGi transmits summary information only, which is accessible exclusively to authorized Áegis team members. No one can see detailed activity within your apartment.

AUGi does not store clear images and protects your privacy by maintaining only blurred visuals. All data is shared solely with your Áegis caregiving team. AUGi is HIPAA-compliant.

Key details retained in AUGi’s alert summaries include:

• Time and date of the alert
• Location of the alert
• A brief description of the alert (e.g., lying on the floor, getting out of bed)
• A de-identified, blurred version of the image captured at the time of the alert

Áegis Living retains this information as required by local laws and regulations. Additionally, Inspiren may use de-identified data to train and improve the AUGi system. Áegis Living and Inspiren strictly comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing data use and privacy.
