What FILIEN does

FILIEN, legally FILIEN ECOUTE ADMR, is a French teleassistance provider founded in 1988 within the ADMR network, France's first associative home-care services organization. The company delivers 24/7 emergency response and connected-device services to seniors, people with disabilities, and isolated individuals across France, anchored by a certified NF Service monitoring center in Grand Est and a national footprint of 1,300 trained installers. Its product portfolio spans home teleassistance units with embedded SIM cards (Filien Connect), interactive touchscreen safety/entertainment boxes (Pack Bianca), GPS wearables and badges for outdoor use (Tempo, Filien Mobilité), domotics solutions with behavioral monitoring (Filien Habitat/Noviacare), courtesy-call services for social connection (Filien Complice), and a B2B PTI/DATI offering for isolated workers (Filien Protect), supported by accessories such as fall-detection bracelets, connected jewelry, alarm pendants, and emergency buttons.

Underlying technology is a hybrid of proprietary hardware (boxes, wearables, motion sensors) and a human-operator monitoring platform with sub-30-second average response times, processing 639,962 calls in 2025. The Noviacare domotics box uses motion sensors that learn daily routines to detect anomalies, indicating an algorithmic behavior-analytics layer on top of the SOS-button service. The NF Service certification from AFNOR, held since 2016, anchors the operational quality framework, and customer satisfaction exceeds 99% with 4.6–4.7/5 ratings across more than 5,200 verified reviews.

The business model is a B2C/B2B subscription model with monthly billing at under €1/day for the basic Pack Classic tier and higher price points for premium tiers. Distribution combines direct phone sales, web-based quote requests, a separate e-commerce storefront, and on-site installation via the nationwide installer network, with a referral program (parrainage) providing one free month to both referrer and referred customer. Financial aids such as the French 50% personal-services tax credit, APA, PCH, and CARSAT support are integrated into the pricing proposition. As an association under the ADMR federation, FILIEN does not have external funding, public listing, or disclosed revenue.

• Life Alert: US-based iconic PERS provider offering monitored medical alert systems with pendant devices and 24/7 response centers. Comparable subscription-based emergency response model, though primarily serves the US market.
• Legrand Care: European telecare provider offering assisted-living technology, PERS, and nurse-call systems for elderly and care facilities. Overlaps with FILIEN in fall detection and remote monitoring, but serves institutional and multi-country markets.

Regional players

• Vivago: Nordic activity-monitoring and wellness-watch provider for elder care. Comparable through wearable wellness monitoring and automated anomaly detection, but primarily serves Scandinavian markets.

Direct peers

• SeniorAdom: French teleassistance operator offering 24/7 home and mobile emergency response for seniors with medallion/pendant devices. Directly comparable subscription-based PERS service and target customer (elderly individuals living at home).
• Bluelinea: French specialist in teleassistance and home monitoring for seniors and vulnerable people. Directly comparable product portfolio (PERS, fall detection, connected devices) and serves the same French elder-care segment.
• Présence Verte: Mutual French teleassistance provider offering monitored PERS for seniors across France. Closely comparable offering (home-based emergency response with pendant/bracelet) and similar regulatory positioning.
• Bayard Assist (Le Groupe Bayard): French teleassistance service catering to seniors and isolated individuals, with comparable pendant/bracelet-based home emergency response and similar subscription model.
• Essentiel Assistance: French teleassistance and home services provider offering PERS devices with 24/7 call center monitoring for seniors and disabled individuals. Direct competitor in the same French market segment.
