London, UK – September 11, 2026 – IRIS IoT, a specialist provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with Age Impulse, developer of GaiTwin®, an award-winning wearable solution for assessing fall risk in older adults.
The collaboration aims to support the development of preventative fall-risk strategies for the 65+ population, helping seniors stay safe and independent in their own homes.
The partnership combines IRIS IoT’s expertise in IoT infrastructure and device integration with the GaiTwin platform, which includes a wearable sensor and mobile app that assess a person’s mobility and balance from just 15 seconds of walking.
Through this collaboration, care homes, home care providers, and telecare distributors across the UK will be able to offer a fast, easy fall-risk screening tool as part of their existing services.
Unlike traditional fall-detection devices, which only respond after a fall has occurred, GaiTwin is designed to flag risk beforehand, guiding at-risk individuals towards their GP, a physiotherapist, or remote assistance.
The first phase of the rollout will focus on assisted living facilities and telecare distributors across the UK.
Stephen Westley of IRIS IoT said:
After years of monitoring falls with different technologies, we are excited to explore how technology can be used to predict and prevent falls. GaiTwin is the next step in enabling us to help the falls sector move towards this preventative model.
Gabriel Dib of Age Impulse added:
After seeing several close relatives experience falls, I realised they were far from isolated: around one in three people aged 65 and over experiences a fall each year. I wanted to develop a simple, objective and easy to use solution to identify risk early, so that action can be taken before a fall occurs.
