At Aegis Living, we understand independence and safety go hand in hand. That’s why we’re proud to offer AUGi™ by Inspiren, an innovative AI-powered fall risk-reduction technology that provides an extra layer of protection while respecting your privacy and dignity. While AUGis is being used nationwide, we are privileged to be the only senior living company on the West Coast to offer it. Aegis is among only a handful of senior living organizations to implement true AI technology.

AUGi not only helps prevent falls but also monitors behavior trends and sleep patterns over time and flags changes, allowing us to identify new issues and refine resident care plans. 

How it Works

AUGi is a wall-mounted smart device that uses AI technology to sense your movements. It alerts our care team when there may be a fall risk (like when you are getting out of bed or a chair), or in the event a fall has already occurred. This enables us to immediately respond and provide assistance.


Privacy First, Always

Your privacy is our priority. Unlike traditional cameras, AUGi is a sophisticated HIPPA-compliant technology that never displays or stores clear images. Residents appear as stick figures, apartment details are blurred to ensure privacy, and only authorized care team members get alerted when movement patterns suggest fall risk. Residents can turn on a temporary “virtual curtain” when they want additional privacy.


Proven Results

According to Inspiren, the makers of AUGi, senior living communities using the technology have experienced remarkable improvements in resident safety:

How AUGi Protects You

  • Proactive 24/7 Support: Alerts our care team before potential incidents occur
  • Swift Response: Enables immediate assistance during higher-risk moments
  • Ongoing Support: Identifies behavior changes, enabling us to refine and improve your care plan

Your Safety, Your Choice

AUGi activation is completely optional. You can choose to activate or deactivate the system at any time, giving you full control over your care experience.

FAQ

What is AUGi and how does it work?
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 Aegis 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.

How does AUGi protect my privacy?
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 Aegis team members. No one can see detailed activity within your apartment.

What happens to the data collected by AUGi?
AUGi does not store clear images and protects your privacy by maintaining only blurred visuals. All data is shared solely with your Aegis 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

Aegis 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. Aegis Living and Inspiren strictly comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing data use and privacy.

Can I see a demonstration of AUGi?

Absolutely! Contact your General Manager to schedule a time to see it in action.

Does AUGi work for all situations?

While AUGi provides an additional layer of monitoring and safety, no system is perfect. Occasionally, there may be false alerts, or the system may not detect every situation. However, AUGi enhances our existing safety protocols and provides a valuable extra layer of support to help prevent and respond to risks.

Can I opt out of having AUGi activated in my apartment?

Yes. Activating AUGi requires your consent. If you choose to activate AUGi, simply complete and return the consent form. If you prefer not to activate it, please let your General Manager know. You can change your decision at any time, as AUGi can be activated or deactivated upon request.

Has AUGi been used in other communities?
Yes. AUGi has been successfully implemented in Aegis Living communities and other retirement communities across the country, showing positive results in improving resident safety and response times.
What if I have more questions?

Your General Manager is available to discuss AUGi in more detail and answer any additional questions you may have.
