COVER STORY: Precision in every step: empowering independence through innovation

Oliver Smith, operations manager of Frequency Precision, explains how a forward-thinking approach to developing medical alert systems has earned Frequency Precision a valued reputation as a trusted provider of innovative and user-friendly solutions

Frequency Precision is a family-owned business based in Devon, known for its innovative contributions to safety and healthcare technology. Since its founding in 1985, our company has grown into a leading supplier of medical alert systems for domiciliary care and primary healthcare markets. Our company’s mission is straightforward yet impactful: to develop solutions that truly make a difference in people’s lives.

Origins and inspiration

The journey of Frequency Precision began with a personal story. Doug Dwyer, the founder, was inspired by his mother’s experience in a care home. She lived with dementia and was unaware of the risks of getting out of bed unassisted. Doug initially developed a pager system to help her call for assistance, but he sought a solution that was more discreet and proactive. This led to the creation of a pressure-sensitive mat capable of detecting movement without compromising privacy. That innovation laid the foundation for Frequency Precision’s signature Airlert technology.
