Unlocking Context-Aware Insights with Wi-Fi Sensing Localization
This blog explores how Wi-Fi Sensing localization transforms ordinary motion alerts into meaningful, room-level insights. By mapping movement to specific areas of the home without cameras or microphones, this technology enhances safety, wellness, and convenience, giving ISPs and service providers a powerful tool to deliver privacy-conscious, context-aware smart home experiences.
Get To Know the Tech Better: Wi-Fi Sensing 201
In this second part of our Wi-Fi Sensing series, we answer the most common questions and misconceptions about the technology. From whether you need special hardware to how it works through walls and with multiple people, this blog explains how Wi-Fi Sensing compares to traditional motion sensors and why it’s a privacy-friendly way to understand motion in the home.
Expanding Quality of Care with Ambient Sensing: Recap from the 2025 MAMA National Conference
At the 2025 MAMA National Conference (now the Connected Health & Safety Association), Dr. Taj Manku, CEO of Cognitive Systems, shared how ambient sensing powered by Caregiver bt Cognitive is transforming eldercare. His talk explored how providers can move beyond emergency response to proactive wellness monitoring—unlocking earlier interventions, peace of mind for families, and new opportunities for the PERS industry.
The Future of ISPs is Lifestyle-Driven
Internet providers are no longer just about speed and connectivity. The next wave is lifestyle-driven, where ISPs integrate services like ambient sensing, eldercare support, and home automation directly into the network. This shift transforms ISPs from utilities into trusted partners in daily life, delivering peace of mind, independence, and convenience — all through the existing infrastructure already in people’s homes.
Monitoring Wake-Up Delays Can Prevent Senior Health Crises
Wake-up time is one of the earliest indicators of senior health changes. Subtle delays in a daily routine, like waking 60–90 minutes later than usual, can reveal emerging physical, emotional, or cognitive strain long before a crisis occurs. This blog explores why wake-up monitoring matters, why traditional systems often miss it, and how passive sensing technologies can transform these overlooked signals into proactive, personalized care.
How to Design for the Age of Ambient Sensing
Smart homes are entering a new era—one where devices don’t just wait for commands but sense, learn, and respond on their own. This blog explores how to design ambient sensing systems that are intuitive, respectful, and trustworthy, ensuring technology enhances life without overstepping.
How to Turn Everyday Motion Into Strategic Value
What if your home could respond to you without needing to watch you? For service providers, the future of smart spaces lies in passive intelligence: detecting motion, not invading privacy. In this blog, we walk through a day in the life of a WiFi Motion–enabled home to show how ordinary movement becomes a source of extraordinary value for automation, eldercare, energy, and engagement.
