Fujitsu unveils Millimeter-Wave Monitoring System for enhanced safety and privacy in care facilities

24/7 privacy-conscious monitoring for fall and health anomaly detection

Fujitsu Limited

Kawasaki, Japan, June 16, 2025

Fujitsu Limited today announced the release of its Millimeter-Wave Monitoring System ⁽¹⁾. Available in Japan from June 16, the system will help customers monitor for safety in locations where camera installation is not appropriate due to privacy concerns, such as in care and assisted living facilities and accessible toilets.

The system assesses data on human movement, including body vibrations like breathing and muscle activity, using Fujitsu's proprietary AI. This allows for the automatic detection of anomalies, including subtle changes in breathing and body vibrations irregularities, which are difficult to detect with existing technologies that rely solely on motion detection. The system can operate automatically, supporting 24-hour monitoring and management tasks during night and early morning hours when staffing is limited, and because it does not record video footage or collect personal data of any kind, privacy can be maintained. As Fujitsu’s technology detects using millimeter-wave radar, it can be used effectively in low-light environments.

Alert notification function to support rapid response

The system is equipped with a function to issue alerts under specific conditions i.e., when a person falls and does not get up for a certain period, when a person remains in a specific location for an extended time, or when anomalies occur during sleep including breathing difficulties. Notifications can be sent to individually designated recipients, ensuring that the right people receive information quickly, preventing delays in initial response and maximizing user safety.

Prior to the launch of this system, Fujitsu has been verifying the effectiveness of millimeter-wave radar monitoring technology in accessible toilets with AEON MALL Co., Ltd. and in experiments related to fall detection of the inpatients with Wakayama Medical University.
