Falls-Free Home Audit
An AI audit for occupational therapists and family caregivers that scans a senior's home and predicts fall and injury risks using physical-reasoning models — surfacing the 'why' behind every recommendation.

- Photo upload of entryways, bathrooms, and stairs produces a prioritized fall-risk report tied to specific objects and transitions
- Plain-language physics explanations: 'loose rug + walker wheels = high tip-over probability' — not just a score
- Printable OT-ready report with photo annotations for insurance or home-mod grants
- Side-by-side compare mode to see how proposed fixes (grab bars, lighting, rug removal) reduce predicted risk
World-model research is finally producing systems that reason about physical consequences (V-JEPA 2, JEPA) — the same architecture that cracks robotics is the missing piece in consumer fall-prevention tools, which today are static questionnaires.
Heavy academic/clinical activity (multiple 2024-2026 reviews on AI fall risk prediction), 291 Amazon results for senior fall detection, and a robust market of medical alert subscriptions at ~$40/mo (e.g., My Connected Caregiver) confirm strong tailwind for fall-related AI tools targeting caregivers and seniors.Revisiting sensor-based intelligent fall risk assessment for older adults ↗Pricing | My Connected Caregiver ↗
Existing commercial landscape is dominated by post-fall detection (medical alerts, wearables) and administrative OT software; HMOTA and similar services do in-person home evals, but no mainstream consumer/clinical AI scans a home video and reasons about physical fall hazards — the V-JEPA 2 world-model approach is genuinely novel for this use case.Home Modification Occupational Therapy Alliance ↗10 Best Occupational Therapy Software Reviewed in 2026 ↗
Caregivers already pay $40+/mo for fall detection, OTs buy practice software subscriptions, and home modifications cost thousands — leaving room for per-audit or B2B pricing; however, buyers are price-sensitive and any 'predictive' claim likely triggers clinical-validation friction.Pricing | My Connected Caregiver ↗Best Occupational Therapy Software 2026: What Top OTs Actually Use ↗
Demographic aging, rising home-mod spend, and falls remaining a leading cause of senior injury give a multi-decade horizon; world-model/physical-reasoning trend (V-JEPA 2, June 2025) is in early innings rather than peak hype.Introducing the V-JEPA 2 world model and new benchmarks for physical reasoning ↗
Non-trivial: requires stitching smartphone capture (LiDAR/video) to a physical-reasoning model, building a hazard taxonomy, and gaining clinical/regulatory credibility with OTs — V-JEPA 2 weights and APIs are not yet plug-and-play for this domain.V-JEPA 2: Self-Supervised Video Models Enable Understanding, Prediction, and Planning ↗
