Context
iFall was an early health-technology concept developed after Benjamin’s own health scare.
Problem
If a person falls and cannot call for help, emergency services and loved ones may not know what happened, where the person is, or when the incident occurred.
Benjamin’s Role
Benjamin originated the concept and considered commercialisation.
What Benjamin Built Or Changed
The concept was a device that could detect a fall and contact emergency services and loved ones with GPS coordinates, date and time information.
Stakeholders
Potential users, family members, emergency services, carers and health-technology partners.
Delivery Approach
The concept was framed around practical safety and notification rather than novelty. Benjamin halted commercialisation when Apple released the first Apple Watch and changed the market.
Outcomes
The outcome was a disciplined stop decision rather than forced commercialisation.
What It Demonstrates
Health-technology imagination, founder judgement and willingness to stop when a better-resourced market entrant made the opportunity commercially redundant.
