What TurunUK does

Turun UK Ltd. is a privately held UK-based medical device company headquartered in London that supplies fall-prevention and wander-management products to care homes, hospitals, and NHS trusts. Founded in the mid-1990s (the founding date is recorded variously as 1995/1996, with a 2005 incorporation for Turun UK Ltd.) and operating today as part of the Brasch Group, the company is the self-described longest-established falls equipment supplier in the UK.

The core technology is a line of patented under-mattress and under-cushion sensor pads (STEALTH®; US Patent No. 10,357,197 and GB2555057) that use proprietary algorithms to detect patient movement and trigger caregiver alerts when a fall-risk patient leaves a bed or chair. The pads are designed to sit under mattresses on the bed frame, away from bodily fluids, with an 18-month service life for bed pads and 12-month for chair pads. These pads pair with a family of monitors — SafePresence® Professional (which monitors two pads simultaneously with eight alarm tones), SafePresence® Bathroom, FallsX® and FallsX® InfraRed, and SURE® — plus the Treadnought® floor sensor. TurunUK also offers SaferWalking™ wander-management systems (LS 2400 and LC 1200) with wearable tags for memory-care facilities, integrating into nurse call, electronic access control, and CCTV systems. The company is GDPR-compliant and registered with the UK ICO (ZC176837).

The business is primarily a hardware-sales model (sensor pads, monitors, wander-management systems) supplemented by bespoke support and maintenance programs (24/7/365 support, extended warranties, repairs, testing, staff training). Go-to-market is sales-led: direct field sales consultants plus inside sales (Freephone, regional reps), supported by a 30-day product trial program, conference participation, and a content-rich website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact sales. Customers include St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and a major UK care home group. The company has 1–10 employees and serves the UK only.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Essence Group: Developer of IoT-based remote care, PERS, and fall detection solutions, including radar and ambient sensor-based technologies. Comparable to TurunUK's elder monitoring focus with an emerging, non-contact technology angle that could compete with sensor pads over time.
• CarePredict: AI-driven wearable elder care platform providing activity, falls, and health decline detection in senior living. Overlaps with TurunUK's falls and risk monitoring value proposition but uses wearable-based rather than sensor-pad-based detection.
• Vayyar Care: Radar-based touchless fall detection and presence monitoring solution for senior care. A non-contact alternative to TurunUK's under-mattress sensor pads, competing for the same fall-prevention use case in care homes.

Direct peers

• Accutech Security: Specializes in wander management and infant protection systems for healthcare and senior care, including resident ID-based departure alert solutions. Comparable to TurunUK's SaferWalking wander management line.
• RF Technologies: US-based vendor of Code Alert wander management, fall management, and infant/patient security solutions for hospitals and senior living facilities. Directly comparable in product category (sensor-based fall and wander alerts integrated with nurse call).
• Securitas Healthcare (formerly Stanley Healthcare): Stanley Healthcare commercialized the original WanderGuard and Tabs wander/fall alert systems that TurunUK's predecessor (Senior Technologies) sold; after Stanley divested its healthcare unit to Securitas, it remains a direct competitor in wander management and patient elopement solutions for hospitals and senior care.

Broad incumbents

• Tunstall Healthcare: UK-based incumbent in telecare, telehealth, and Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS). Competes with TurunUK in fall monitoring at the system level but operates a much broader connected-care portfolio across multiple service lines.
• Philips Lifeline: One of the largest US/Canadian PERS and fall detection providers; offers wearable pendant and home-based fall detection solutions. Competes with TurunUK for fall-monitoring spend but as part of a much larger healthcare technology portfolio.
• Bay Alarm Medical: US-based PERS and fall-detection provider with in-home and on-the-go medical alert systems. Comparable to TurunUK's fall monitoring and alert offering, but operates primarily in a consumer PERS channel rather than facility sales.

Regional players

• Careline365: UK-focused personal alarm and fall detector provider. Overlaps with TurunUK on UK fall-monitoring demand but targets primarily consumer/in-home use rather than care home facility deployments.
