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 Mobility Assessment Tool and Why Was It Created?
The Jeenie 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.
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.
