LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — A retirement home in Lancaster County is crediting new AI technology to achieving a new record in lowering in their fall rate.
The United Zion Retirement Community announced Wednesday that thanks to new technology called Helpany, they had zero falls reported in April of 2026.
Since its implementation in January of 2026, the technology has created a 70% reduction in falls, and has adjusted care plans for residents.
Helpany works via radar-based technology that tracks changes in gait, sleep, activity levels, and bathroom frequency without the use of cameras or microphones.
These changes, according to the community, help flag possible risks for residents.
Director of Personal Care Miranda Troyer said introducing the technology was significant for the quality of care in the community.
“We believed there was an opportunity to identify risk earlier while maintaining the dignity and privacy our residents deserve. The results have exceeded our expectations,” she said.
