IRIS IoT and Age Impulse Partner to Bring GaiTwin^® Fall-Risk Technology to the UK

2​0 October 2026

London, UK – 20 October 2026 – IRIS IoT, a specialist provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with Age Impulse, developer of GaiTwin^®, an award-winning wearable solution for assessing fall risk in older adults.

The collaboration aims to support the development of preventative fall-risk strategies for the 65+ population, helping seniors stay safe and independent in their own homes.

The partnership combines IRIS IoT's expertise in IoT infrastructure and device integration with the GaiTwin^® platform, which includes a wearable sensor and mobile app that assess a person's mobility and balance from just 15 seconds of walking

Through this collaboration, care homes, home care providers, and telecare distributors across the UK will be able to offer a fast, easy fall-risk screening tool as part of their existing services.

Unlike traditional fall-detection devices, which only respond after a fall has occurred, GaiTwin^® is designed to flag risk beforehand, guiding at-risk individuals towards their GP, a physiotherapist, or remote assistance.

The first phase of the rollout will focus on assisted living facilities and telecare distributors across the UK.

Stephen Westley of IRIS IoT said:

“After years of monitoring falls with different technologies, we are excited to explore how technology can be used to predict and prevent falls. GaiTwin® is the next step in enabling us to help the falls sector move towards this preventative model”.

Gabriel Dib of Age Impulse said:

“After seeing several close relatives experience falls, I realized they were far from isolated: around one in three people aged 65 and over experiences a fall each year. I wanted to develop a simple, objective and easy to use solution to identify risk early, so that action can be taken before a fall occurs.”
