Collaboration brings state-of-the-art fall alerts and ambient sensing to complement wearables, adding a complete layer of AI-enabled protection and prevention for residential and at-home care.
Brussels, Belgium — 2nd October, 2025 — Zembro, a trusted provider of wearable safety solutions for older adults, today announced a strategic partnership with Pontosense, a global leader in privacy-first radar and AI technology that brings intelligent sensing into any home or retirement facility. Through this collaboration, Zembro will integrate Pontosense’s Silver Shield — a discreet, room-based sensing solution — into its portfolio, moving beyond wearables to offer the most complete spectrum of detection and preventative care for seniors living at home or in care environments.
The addition of Silver Shield complements Zembro’s proven wearables, ensuring continuous protection even when personal devices are not in use. Together, the solutions create a broad safety net that supports independence for older adults while reducing the burden on caregivers and care staff via reliable notifications to family members, care organisations, and monitoring centres. Silver Shield features an industry-best 97% fall detection accuracy, bed and room exit alerting, breathing rate detection, and AI-generated reports to warn of increasing fall or health risks.
“Zembro is committed to providing reliable, accessible solutions that empower older adults to live safely and independently,” said Caroline Van Zele, President of Zembro. “By adding Pontosense’s Silver Shield to our portfolio, we are expanding beyond wearables and addressing our customers’ need for continuous, seamless safety. We are continually investing in the development a care ecosystem, encompassing different state-of-the-art solutions for different crucial aspects of care: falls, wellbeing, ambient monitoring, prevention, with multi-layered alerting for both professionals and friends and families.
“This partnership allows us to bring cutting-edge technology into homes and care facilities while staying true to our promise of simplicity and customer service excellence,” she added. “Our key promises are ease-of-use, preventative care, reliable alerting, and device customisation, so we can tailor solutions to each user to ensure that state-of-the-art is usable. Cutting edge does not have to be expensive or complicated.”
Silver Shield uses patented wireless radar and AI to sense health and safety risks in real time, without cameras or microphones. It also provides powerful wellness insights, including automatic tracking of residents’ breathing patterns while in bed. Care teams can access daily, weekly, and monthly breathing rate ranges, monitor overall wellness trends, and observe changes over time — enabling proactive, informed care while preserving dignity and independence.
“We are proud to partner with Zembro, whose reputation for reliable, user-friendly solutions makes them an ideal collaborator,” said Alex Qi, CEO of Pontosense. “This partnership demonstrates how Silver Shield enhances and extends the value of wearables, offering older adults and caregivers the most complete protection available today. Together, we’re building a foundation for accessible, state-of-the-art safety across Europe.”
For Zembro, the integration reinforces its position as a trusted technology provider in aging-at-home solutions, expanding its reach into prevention and broadening its portfolio for care homes and home care providers. For Pontosense, the agreement marks a strategic milestone in Europe, validating demand for Silver Shield and demonstrating its role as a complementary layer to wearables.
With this collaboration, Zembro and Pontosense aim to set a new standard in aging-at-home technology: comprehensive, accessible, and designed to empower independence while ensuring safety.
