When someone you love is living alone – growing older, perhaps managing a long-term condition or beginning to show signs of dementia – the worry can feel constant. Are they OK? Did they get up this morning? What if they fall and can’t reach the phone?
MySense was created to give families peace of mind, without taking away anyone’s privacy or independence.
It uses small, discreet sensors placed around the home, along with a comfortable wearable, to gently understand a person’s daily routine: how much they move, when they stay in bed, and how they go about everyday life. Over a few weeks, MySense learns what 'normal' looks like for them. Then, if something changes in a way that might matter, the system quietly lets you know via the MySense app.
It could be that Mum is getting up more in the night, Dad hasn’t moved around much today, or a loved one seems unusually inactive. Instead of guesswork, you get timely insight.
The wearable adds another layer of reassurance. It tracks activity, detects falls automatically and has an emergency button so your loved one can call for help with a simple press.
If a fall is detected, MySense’s 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre is alerted instantly. Trained staff can speak directly through the wearable, check the person is safe and, if needed, contact family or emergency services. For many families, this single feature brings enormous peace of mind.
Crucially, MySense is designed to be respectful. There are no cameras, just passive, privacy-preserving technology that quietly supports wellbeing in the background. It’s designed with dignity in mind, helping ensure your loved one stays safe, supported and independent for as long as possible.
MySense is also part of Santander X 100, a global community of the most outstanding companies of Santander X, Banco Santander’s initiative to support their business journey – recognition that reflects its innovation.
For families stretched between caring, working and simply wanting to do the right thing, MySense offers something simple but powerful: the confidence that if something changes, you’ll know and your loved one won’t be alone.
