Accessible Kitchen Safety — Because Everyone Deserves Peace of Mind
Living with disabilities, whether vision impairments, cognitive or memory challenges, or physical limitations means greater risk and increased anxiety around everyday tasks like cooking. The CTS Smart Kitchen Sensor brings peace of mind to individuals and caregivers by delivering real-time alerts, behavioral insights, and protective intervention before accidents happen.
Why CTS Makes a Difference
- Predictive AI Technology: Thermal imaging powered by AI (no cameras to preserve privacy) continuously monitors your cooktop. It recognizes patterns like unattended pots or unusual heat trends before danger arises.
- Real-Time Alerts & Safe Intervention: The system uses gentle yet clear audible messages, LED indicators, and in high-risk situations automatically cuts power to the stovetop, preventing fires before they can start.
- Caregiver-Friendly Remote Monitoring: With the optional Dashboard App, caregivers receive real-time notifications, monitor stovetop activity, and even shut off the stove remotely. Behavioral insights and usage trends help identify issues like memory lapses or changes in routine.
Inclusive Design - Vision Impairments: Audible alerts and bright LED cues ensure users detect unsafe situations even without visual clarity.
- Cognitive or Memory Disabilities: The predictive system acts as a proactive assistant shutting off the stove when attention drifts or patterns suggest risk.
- Physical Limitations: The sensor can automatically intervene, reducing the need for manual action. Resetting the system or the stove can be done with a simple button press on the sensor unit.
Serving a Large and Growing Need
With approximately 42 million U.S. adults living with some form of disability, a technology that enhances independent living and protects against one of the leading causes of home fires is transformative. Unattended cooking accounts for the majority of kitchen fires and related injuries. CTS helps mitigate these through predictive safety—not just reactive alarms.
