Meet Pippa: The pioneering fire safety tech protecting lives and property when cooking

Pippa, the world’s first AI cooking monitoring system, is a leap forward in fire safety. 

It makes your residents and property safer when cooking by monitoring stove hazards using intelligent thermal imaging and alerting you before a fire breaks out.

Last year UK Fire and Rescue attended over 10,500 cooking fires. 20 people are killed or injured by them each day, and the average fire damage reparation cost is over £50,000. Careless cooking starts almost half of all residential fires. And the risk is high across all hob types - electric and gas.

For those responsible for care home settings or support older or vulnerable residents, Pippa can help manage age or vulnerability-related risks. Pippa can also keep people living independently and cooking safely for themselves for longer. 

Over 65s cause twice the number of cooking fires as the under 65s. And the risk increases acutely with age and conditions affecting memory, alertness or a decline in cognitive and physical function.

If your residents or those in your care cook for themselves, reduce the risk with Pippa. Pippa is a simple, life-saving addition to the kitchen. Simply stick Pippa above the stove, and it automatically protects your residents and care home estate. Pippa also helps keep elderly people in their own homes for longer.

If food starts to burn, or you stop cooking but fail to turn the stove of properly, Pippa alerts you so you can simply turn the stove off,  and prevent problems before they start. It also reduces evacuations and fire service call outs by letting people switch the stove off before the master fire alarm is triggered. If there’s no response from the user, Pippa will quickly call or text you or a designated number, keeping you in control and able to take immediate action.

 

Pippa - your essential fire safety partner

If there is a fire on the stove top, Pippa detects it up to four minutes faster than a regular smoke alarm, giving residents more time to get out safely.  Increase your peace of mind and reduce the risks of cooking fires with this breakthrough AI-powered thermal imaging device that keeps a constant watch on your resident’s stoves.

Pippa keeps care home managers, at home caregivers and family members in the loop and in control. It is one of the most important fire-prevention measures you can put in place to protect residents, loved ones and the properties they call home. 

If residents don’t respond to Pippa’s alerts and warnings, it will directly contact them on a designated number so they or their staff can take immediate action.

 

Pippa's Data Dashboard

Pippa gives you vital information to support your residents via the Pippa data dashboard. This gives you the data you need to easily monitor which residents are at risk – who is leaving the stove on, who is leaving food cooking on the stove unattended for long periods of time, who is slow to respond to alarms. It also shows up other behaviours that may be concerning – cooking during the night which can be an indication of dementia, or stopping cooking altogether which can indicate depression.

This gives you valuable insights of risky behaviours that are of broad benefit to families and care professionals alike and help you to intervene where necessary to prevent risk.

Pippa inventor Samuel Bailey is excited about Pippa’s potential in care settings - be that care homes, or at home care. “Smoke alarms are outdated and unreliable. Pippa is a huge leap forward in kitchen safety + a great enabler of independence amongst elderly and vulnerable communities. I firmly believe Pippa is the future and will be in every home + residential care setting in a few years. Why delay? Bring the latest in AI technology to those in your care today.”

Samuel Bailey will be speaking on the main stage at Care Show Birmingham on 8th October.
