Make the best from your space
EMA helps people adapt their homes to changing abilities and life situations — translating everyday experience into clear, defensible adaptation decisions
EMA is a decision-support system for home adaptation
EMA is a structured method for understanding how a person lives in their home — and turning that insight into practical, defensible adaptation decisions.
It combines lived experience, spatial logic, and medical expertise to support safer, more independent living — without intrusive hardware or complex installations.
Understanding the home through the person
EMA works through a guided walkthrough of the home.
Together with the resident, we move room by room —
listening to how spaces are described, used, avoided, or emotionally attached to.
From natural speech, EMA extracts:
– spatial risks
– behavioral patterns
– overlooked friction points
– early signs of future adaptation needs
Only unclear areas are clarified — the person is never forced into rigid forms.
The result is a structured home profile that reflects real life, not assumptions.
Personalised, expert-driven one-page adaptation plans
Structured room-by-room guidance turning lived experience into clear, actionable decisions.
Expert Integration
Medical, ergonomic, and spatial knowledge combined into structured recommendations.
Personalization
Adaptation strategies tailored to real routines and future needs.
Clear Deliverable
One validated, actionable plan — not a generic checklist.
Fall prevention: the first critical step
Among the many adaptation challenges people face at home, fall risk stands out as the most urgent.
In the Netherlands alone:
119,000
Annual Emergency Room Visits
20!
Daily Fatalities in NL from falling
Behind each number is a preventable spatial condition. Adaptation usually starts too late — when problems have already become crises.
EMA begins with fall prevention because it is the most urgent and measurable entry point into broader home adaptation.
Supporting national fall prevention and aging-in-place policy
EMA translates individual home profiling into scalable digital screening that supports municipalities, insurers, and care systems.
Zelfredzaamheid (Self-Reliance)
Empowers citizens to perform structured self-audits, reducing unnecessary WMO-loket workload.
GALA & Ketenaanpak Valpreventie Compliance
Automates the Screening & Identification phase of the national fall prevention chain.
Hardware-Free Implementation
Scalable to the senior population via smartphone without sensors or home installations.
Data-Driven Policy Insight
Anonymized safety heatmaps support targeted prevention budgets and neighborhood-level intervention planning.
Building the foundation for safer living — together
EMA is currently in active development and validation.
We are working with medical experts, municipalities, insurers, and research institutions to refine our profiling logic and implementation pathways.
We are currently seeking Letters of Interest
from partners interested in:
– pilot collaborations
– validation studies
– institutional integration
– policy-aligned fall prevention initiatives
If your organization is exploring scalable, human-centered approaches to home adaptation and fall prevention, we would be glad to start a conversation.
