01 — INPUT

An existing elderly-care business wanted to bolt on fall detection without committing to the wrong hardware path, so we laid out three real options with tradeoffs.

02 — SYSTEM

Client's existing care service reviewed • Three hardware paths evaluated (certified PERS device, custom build, wearable API) • Named options costed with real APIs • Recommendation delivered — Samsung Galaxy Watch as fastest path

03 — DELIVERY

Comparison of three hardware paths: certified PERS device, fully custom ESP32/nRF52 build, or bring-your-own wearable via aggregator APIs • Named, API-backed recommendations: Samsung Galaxy Watch (Wear OS Health Services), Essence Jewelry Emergency Pendant, or a LILYGO T-SIM7000G DIY board

CAPABILITY STACK

Mobile App Development • Wearable APIs • Hardware Sourcing
