Preventive fall care, measured by the phone in their pocket
Sentinel by Mahalo Health is a fall-prevention platform built on smartphone-based mobility assessment. A short walk with the phone a patient already carries becomes objective movement information — earlier fall-risk visibility and one shared place for qualified teams to coordinate preventive intervention and post-fall follow-up. Clinical interpretation and decisions stay with people.
Objective movement information
The earliest warning sign is hiding in plain sight
How someone walks changes well before most other signs of decline — yet gait is almost never captured in routine care. Sentinel makes mobility assessment practical on the device patients already carry, so teams review objective movement information instead of relying on impression alone.
No wearables, no gait lab, no calibration. A short walk, and a clear longitudinal view for the people responsible for care.
Measurement to action
From a short walk to a human-governed decision
Sentinel structures the path from measurement to a preventive workflow. Each step is designed to inform qualified teams, not to replace their judgment.
- 01
Capture the walk
A short walk with a smartphone captures objective movement information — no wearables, gait lab, or calibration required.
- 02
Surface the signal
Sentinel organizes gait and balance patterns into clear, longitudinal views designed to make fall-risk change visible earlier.
- 03
Route to a workflow
Qualified teams review the information and decide whether to open an assessment, intervention, or follow-up. The platform structures the work; people make the calls.
- 04
Confirm over time
Repeat assessments support longitudinal mobility review, so teams can see whether interventions are moving in the intended direction.
Where teams use Sentinel
One signal, read differently in every setting
The same objective movement information supports different preventive workflows depending on the setting and the qualified team using it.

What the platform provides
Capabilities built around human-governed care
Smartphone-based mobility assessment
Gait and balance information captured from a device patients already carry, lowering the barrier to routine measurement.
Fall-risk visibility
Movement signals organized into clear views designed to help qualified teams notice change earlier.
Preventive intervention workflows
Assessments, tasks, and interventions structured so post-fall coordination stays consistent across a team.
Traceable documentation
Actions are logged with timestamps and attribution, producing documentation designed to support review.
Human-governed clinical operations
Sentinel supports teams — people stay in control
Sentinel is designed to make objective movement information easier to gather and review. It does not diagnose, treat, or provide continuous emergency monitoring, and it does not guarantee that falls will be prevented.
Decisions remain human-owned
Clinical interpretation, escalation, emergency response, and final decisions stay with qualified people. Sentinel structures information and workflows to support that work.
Claims scoped to deployments
Results such as time saved or fall reduction reflect what has been reported in specific deployments, not universal promises. Reimbursement depends on jurisdiction, code year, provider eligibility, documented work, and payer rules.
