As care providers look ahead to 2026, the imperative is clear: the care sector must transition beyond outdated, reactive systems. The future demands a proactive approach where the safety, independence, and dignity of every resident are not just maintained, but actively enhanced through the power of intelligent technology.

Moving Beyond the Reactive Model

Earzz is founded on the belief that dignified care deserves sophisticated tools that operate to enhance care, protect dignity and simplify workflows. We aim to move past systems that only provide an alert after an incident has occurred, after a fall, after distress has peaked, or after a condition has deteriorated. Our patented, multi-award-winning acoustic AI solution is engineered to set a new, higher standard in proactive care, identifying potential risks and changes before they escalate into emergencies. Proven Impact Across the UK Care Sector

Care homes across the United Kingdom are already leveraging the unique capabilities of Earzz's technology to deliver measurably better outcomes for their residents and their teams:

• Dramatic Fall Reduction: Our system is instrumental in helping care organisations reduce falls by over 80%. Critically, this includes homes achieving the gold standard of zero falls for sustained periods, fundamentally transforming resident safety and mitigating the most serious risk in residential care.
• Early Detection of Behavioural Change: Earzz’s AI continuously monitors and recognises subtle but significant acoustic patterns, such as increased or altered coughing, shouting, calling out, or general agitation. This allows staff to spot behavioural changes early, often a critical indicator of underlying health issues, infections, or emotional distress; enabling timely, targeted, and preventive interventions.
• Empowering the Vulnerable: We provide crucial support for residents who are unable to use traditional call bells, particularly those living with advanced stages of dementia or mobility impairments. By detecting vocal distress or screaming sounds that might indicate a need for help.
• Maximising Staff Efficiency and Focus: By reducing the volume of unnecessary, routine physical checks, which can disrupt resident sleep and staff workflow. Earzz helps give teams more time. This allows care teams to shift their focus from time-consuming monitoring to meaningful, high-quality, person-centred care, significantly boosting job satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Unstoppable Momentum and Industry Recognition

Our growing adoption and critical acclaim underscore our role as a sector leader. In the last few months, Earzz has experienced rapid expansion and garnered significant recognition:

• Industry Accolades: We were honoured to be Won AI Product of the Year at the prestigious National AI Awards 2025, a testament to the innovation and real-world utility of our technology.
• Widespread Media Coverage: Our transformative partnerships, including collaborative work with the Norfolk Care Association and ArmsCare Group, have earned widespread recognition across BBC Radio Norfolk, highlighting the positive impact of acoustic AI on regional care quality.
• Accelerated Deployment: Our expanded deployments are rapidly growing across both England and Wales, currently supporting more than 500 residents. The sustained and increasing demand from care providers confirms the sector's readiness for this proactive shift.
• Seamless Digital Integration: To facilitate easy adoption, we have developed deeper integrations with leading digital care record systems (DCRs), ensuring that Earzz data flows seamlessly into existing clinical workflows for comprehensive resident management.

As the new year approaches, we are deeply committed to partnering with more care organisations, supporting their crucial journey from reactive incident management to truly proactive, preventative care.
