Mobility Assessment System
A non-wearable sensor system that provides objective mobility guidance scores, helping clinicians monitor patient changes and support decisions—without replacing clinical judgement or requiring the patient to wear anything.
About the System
What is the Jeenie247 Preventie Mobility Assessment Tool and Why Was It Created?
The Jeenie247 Preventie Mobility Assessment System is a non-wearable, sensor-based system that gives clinicians clear, objective guidance on a patient’s mobility status. It captures real-time movement data from sensors placed on everyday surfaces—such as beds, chairs, or transfer aids—and translates that data into easy-to-understand mobility guidance scores.
Developed by Jeenie and patent pending, the system was created in collaboration with Footfalls & Heartbeats, using their smart textile technology to deliver movement insights without disrupting care.
It was designed to address a common issue in healthcare: mobility is one of the clearest indicators of patient wellbeing, yet it's still often assessed through observation and opinion. Subtle changes can go unnoticed until a fall or serious event occurs.
By aligning with familiar frameworks like FIM (Functional Independence Measure), the tool supports clinical teams in tracking trends, detecting change early, and making decisions with greater confidence—without relying on wearables or adding complexity to care routines.
Subtle shifts become visible. Progress becomes measurable. And clinical decisions are backed by meaningful data.
The Problem
It Solves
-
Inconsistent assessments: Judgements vary between staff and shifts.
-
Missed deterioration: Subtle changes often go unnoticed until something occurs.
-
Subjective decision-making: Difficult to evidence improvement or decline.
-
Delayed discharges or escalations: Without data, confidence is low.
-
Wearables don’t suit all patients: Especially in complex care settings.
What It Delivers
-
Objective, repeatable scores from everyday movements
-
Simple integration with assessment forms like FIM
-
Early visibility of functional change
-
A way to monitor mobility without extra burden on staff or patients
-
Support for rehab decisions, discharge planning, and ongoing care
Benefits for Clinical Teams
-
Clarity: Brings objectivity to subjective conversations.
-
Continuity: Allows different staff to benchmark progress accurately.
-
Reassurance: Confirms what the clinical eye suspects—or flags what it can’t see.
-
Efficiency: No straps, logins, or wearable devices to manage.
-
Evidence: Useful in audit, funding applications, and patient handovers.
-
Tested to ISO 31092 with a water-vapour resistance (Ret) of <20, the fabric is classed as breathable — helping reduce heat build-up and moisture when placed under the patient.
Use Cases
-
Mobility: Identify early signs of risk and intervene proactively.
-
Discharge planning: Use clear scores to support safe decisions.
-
Rehabilitation tracking: Monitor how mobility is improving session to session.
-
Long-stay care: Detect subtle deterioration over time.
-
Care home assessments: Create consistent baseline scoring for incoming residents.
How It’s Different
-
Non-wearable: No intrusion, no disruption—just data from existing surfaces.
-
Non-diagnostic: It guides, not prescribes. Clinical judgement always leads.
-
Faster to deploy: Class I medical device (non-measuring), self-certified.
-
Real-world focused: Developed with input from NHS data, frontline staff, and patient pathway experts.
Implementation & Support
We don’t just hand over the tech and walk away. We work directly with your teams to embed the system into your existing patient assessments and daily routines. From setup to rollout, we support every step—on-site and hands-on.
Whether you’re running trials, developing a new falls strategy, or integrating the tool into existing forms like FIM, we’ll help shape it around your needs. Training is provided, support is ongoing, and the goal is simple: make it useful, usable, and genuinely supportive for your frontline teams.

Patient Falls
Be guided - Because 240,000 patient falls a year is 240,000 too many.
Every year, over 240,000 falls are reported in NHS hospitals across England.
That’s more than 600 people every single day — many of whom were already vulnerable.
NICE guidelines (NG249, 2025) are clear:
We should stop relying on prediction tools.
We should assess real movement. React faster. Monitor smarter.
So… what if there was a way to do exactly that?

The Real Risk Isn’t Just Falling — It’s What We Miss Before the Fall
A fall is rarely just “an accident.”
It’s often the final link in a chain of subtle signals — moments that go unnoticed because they don’t scream for attention.
It starts with a small change:
-
A slower turn in bed than usual
-
Fewer overnight movements
-
A period of unexplained stillness
-
Or perhaps a bit of agitation during sleep
Even the way someone leaves the bed — slower, off-balance, hesitant
These aren’t incidents. They’re indicators — signs that something’s changing. But in a busy ward or care setting, you can’t always spot them. You can’t always measure them. And without visibility, these changes stay silent — until the fall.
That’s the challenge. We’re often working reactively, not proactively — because the signs are quiet, inconsistent, and easy to miss. Without tools to help spot these shifts early, decisions rely on memory, handovers, and gut feeling. And by the time concern is raised, the damage is often done. Early recognition is the key — but it starts with knowing what to look for, and when.

Mobility Assessment: A Crucial Yet
Challenging Task
Assessing mobility is one of the most important parts of care planning — but also one of the hardest. Too often, it's based on subjective opinion: “Have they improved?” “Are they getting worse?” Without consistent benchmarks, we rely heavily on guesswork, and that affects confidence across teams.
The reality is, mobility isn’t a simple yes or no. It changes daily, even hourly, influenced by pain, fatigue, environment, and mindset. And when multiple carers are involved, interpretations differ — one person’s “independent” might be another’s “needs assistance.”
We believe in acknowledging these challenges. Mobility assessment should be clear, consistent, and practical — not left to chance or opinion. When it's done well, it guides safer care, informs discharge planning, and helps patients make real progress.

Key Pillars of
NICE NG249
(Falls in Hospital)
-
Individualised Risk Assessment
Every adult admitted to hospital should receive a personalised falls risk assessment — not based on scores, but on known risk factors like mobility, continence, medication, cognition, and bone health.
-
Multifactorial Interventions
Actions should be tailored to the individual’s risks (e.g., strength and balance support, continence care, medication review, footwear advice).
-
Environment & Equipment Safety
Ensure bed height, call bells, lighting, and walking aids are appropriate and accessible. Regularly check surroundings for hazards.
-
Post-Fall Management
Review all falls promptly, assess for injury, and consider safeguarding or care plan updates if necessary.
-
Communication & Documentation
Share falls risk and prevention plans across the care team. Clearly document all assessments and incidents.
-
Training & Culture
Staff should be trained to understand falls risks and prevention strategies, with a culture that prioritises safety and learning.
Why It Matters
Falls cost the NHS over £1 billion a year.
They account for 250,000 lost bed days.
And 1 in 50 leads to life-changing injury — or worse.
Yet many carers are still relying on gut instinct and manual checks.
