Stillsense vs Sensio
Two approaches to understanding what happens in a room. Here is what differs, where Stillsense may fit, and what still needs to be proven.
Published by Stillsense · Sources reviewed
The main difference is whether an image is created.
Stillsense uses Wi-Fi sensing without creating images. Sensio describes RoomMate as a sensor that supports digital checks using an infrared image. Sensio 365 is a broader care platform. Stillsense is worth evaluating when image-free sensing is a priority; it is not a like-for-like replacement for that platform. Sensio RoomMateSensio 365
Compare the approach
RoomMate is the relevant sensor comparison. Sensio 365 is included only where platform scope matters. These differences describe the published product approaches, not a performance benchmark.
| What matters | Stillsense | Sensio RoomMate / Sensio 365 |
|---|---|---|
| Images and sensing | Wi-Fi sensing. No camera, microphone or images. | RoomMate offers infrared images for digital checks. Source |
| Who triggers the alert? | Designed for passive sensing without a wearable or button press. | RoomMate sends automatic alerts without the resident activating them. Source |
| Role in the care service | A sensing layer designed to work alongside care workflows. Confirm each integration before a pilot. | Sensio 365 brings multiple welfare technologies into a shared interface. Source |
| Deployment approach | On-device sensing, with self-hosted or managed-cloud deployment options. Confirm the scope for your setting. | Sensio 365 is delivered as a cloud service. Confirm RoomMate requirements separately. Source |
| Evidence today | Home and lab testing so far. No measured care-pilot outcomes or comparative study yet. | Sensio publishes RoomMate customer-reported outcomes, with qualifications about study design and local conditions. Source |
When Stillsense belongs on your shortlist
If your requirement is to sense activity without ever creating an image, Stillsense offers that architectural distinction. Local processing and a sensing-layer approach are further reasons to explore a pilot. The next step is to test whether those choices meet your practical needs.
For municipalities and care providers
Evaluate Stillsense for a defined sensing need in a controlled pilot. If you need a broad operational care platform today, assess that requirement separately. An existing Sensio installation does not imply a supported Stillsense integration.
- Agree on the room types, alert recipients and response routines.
- Measure missed events, false alerts, coverage and staff time using a defined protocol.
- Verify integration, data handling, support and full deployment costs before scaling.
For families and people living at home
Start with who will respond when something happens. Image-free sensing may suit a home where cameras feel intrusive, but a sensor alone is not a response service. Stillsense Presence is in early access for home presence and automation; it is not a validated emergency service.
- Ask the municipality which digital-supervision services are available locally.
- Agree on who receives alerts, when they are available and what happens during an outage.
- For Stillsense home trials, clarify supported features and limits before relying on them.
Questions before choosing
- Is Stillsense an alternative to Sensio RoomMate?
- It is an option to evaluate for image-free sensing. It uses a different sensing approach and is at an earlier evidence stage. Suitability depends on your required functions, response arrangements and evaluation results.
- Can Stillsense replace Sensio 365?
- Do not assume so. Sensio 365 connects multiple care technologies and workflows. Stillsense is positioned as a sensing layer. Replacement or integration needs a separate technical and operational assessment.
- Is Stillsense cheaper or more accurate?
- We have no comparable total-cost study or head-to-head accuracy results. Request equivalent quotes and compare installation, connectivity, integrations, support and ongoing costs. Measure performance under the same test conditions.
- Does Stillsense need extra hardware?
- Yes. The current approach uses a small sensing device alongside Wi-Fi signals. It is not a software upgrade that works on every existing router. Coverage and installation need to be checked in the actual home or care setting.
