“…With Adaptive Care’s continuous monitoring systems enabling our carers to detect potentially dangerous seizures throughout the night, we’ve improved visibility of in-room care needs at night to nearly 100%…” – Epilepsy Society – Read the quote in full, below!
The AV Awards, known for celebrating the highest professional standards, honoured us with the “Public Sector Project of the Year” award for our Epilepsy Society – SUDEP Prevention Project. This recognition reflects our mission to enhance resident and patient care through industry-leading technologies tailored to the unique needs of healthcare providers and the individuals they support.
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to the rare occurrence of a sudden death in individuals with epilepsy, often during or shortly after a seizure, with no clear cause identified. While epilepsy is a manageable condition for many, affecting around 630,000 people in the UK, approximately 1 in 1,000 individuals with epilepsy pass away due to SUDEP each year. This recent recognition highlights our dedication to transforming resident and patient resident care through innovative care technologies.
Epilepsy Society is a leading UK charity dedicated to transforming the lives of those living with epilepsy, through research, advocacy and care. We had the pleasure of implementing our industry-leading CLB Acoustic Monitoring and advanced Nurse Call units in 103 bedrooms at their Chalfont Centre, 91 of which also feature our Alert Triggered Visual Monitoring.
This solution enables care staff to activate a non-recording camera in a resident’s room only when an acoustic alert is triggered and only if necessary. It allows staff to assess the situation and guide carers in providing prompt support, such as staying with the resident, administering medication, or arranging medical assistance.
Our winning project demonstrated how Adaptive Care integrates advanced CLB Acoustic and Visual Monitoring systems into care environments to provide real-time alerts when potentially concerning sounds are detected. These solutions improve communication, enhance care, boost operational efficiency and potentially save lives.
Installed across all six of Epilepsy Society’s houses at Chalfont Care Centre, our systems help create safer, more nurturing environments where residents can thrive. Since installation, Epilepsy Society has reported significantly greater visibility into resident wellbeing and faster response times for support or medical intervention when needed.
This is what Epilepsy Society had to say about this amazing project:
“In traditional social care, night staff typically spend just 3% of their shift conducting physical, half-hourly, one-minute room checks. With Adaptive Care’s continuous monitoring systems enabling our carers to detect potentially dangerous seizures throughout the night, we’ve improved visibility of in-room care needs at night to nearly 100%.
This is a wonderful example of how innovative technology can help to safeguard the lives of people with complex epilepsy and learning disabilities. Every year 1,200 people die in the UK from epilepsy related causes, half of them from Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
The people in our care are among the most vulnerable with epilepsy and SUDEP is always a huge concern. Adaptive Care have helped enhance the safety of residents across the houses, bringing greater peace of mind to families, friends, carers and of course, to the residents themselves. This award is well deserved recognition for Adaptive Care.”

Jon White of Adaptive Care, who accepted the award on the night, had this to say:
“This award shines a spotlight on the often-unseen dedication of social care professionals. By sharing projects like this, we’re highlighting the vital work happening in care settings – which many outside the sector may not fully realise.”

Director of Partnerships and Programs ‑ Care Sector
We’re proud to be contributing to a sector that makes such a meaningful impact in people’s lives. As we celebrate this achievement, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our team, partners and Epilepsy Society who have supported us on this journey. Your trust and collaboration inspire us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in health and social care with the compassionate use of technology.
Thank you to AV Magazine for this incredible recognition!
We are thrilled to announce another exciting new project, working with specialist care provider for elderly people with dementia – Shaw Healthcare’s The Hawthorns.
The C-series is CLB’s latest line with a smooth and wordly feel. Experience nurse call and acoustic monitoring in a modern jacket!
Our Commercial Director Jonathan White recently did an interview with Baycroft Care Homes to discuss the benefits that CLB Acoustic Monitoring can have on a residents sleep and safety.
We are honoured to have been shortlisted in the “Innovative Solutions for Care Homes” category at the 2021 Leaders in Care Awards.
