Who publishes this, what we sell, and how to check every claim on it

Who publishes this, and why

Moneli Automation is a Canadian company in Kitchener, Ontario. We build WalledCare, a camera-free millimetre-wave radar sensor that reports presence, movement, prolonged stillness and prolonged inactivity, room by room.

We publish WalledCare Learn because the questions families and care operators ask in this category are badly served. Most of what ranks is written by affiliate sites that earn a commission on a pendant, or by vendors describing their own box. Both tend to describe the outcome a family wants rather than what a device actually observes.

We are not neutral, and we are not pretending to be. We think the useful thing a vendor can do is publish the sourced version of the category, including the parts that do not favour us, and let readers check the work. That is why the methodology below is public and why the sources are linked rather than summarised.

The conflict of interest, stated plainly

• We make and sell a product in this category. Reading a page here is reading a page written by a competitor of the other products on it.
• We still list competitors, including products that do things WalledCare does not do, and including products we compete with directly for the same customer.
• Listings are not paid. There is no sponsored placement, no affiliate link, and no advertising on WalledCare Learn. We earn nothing if you buy a product we list, including ours, from a page here.
• No vendor sees a page before it is published, and no vendor has editorial input. Vendors can ask for a correction to a fact; they cannot ask for the removal of an accurate, sourced attribute.
• Where a page compares WalledCare with something else, the WalledCare row is filled in from the same public sources, checked on the same date, and held to the same completeness rule as everyone else's.
• This disclosure appears above the fold on every comparison, category and vendor page, linked to the methodology below.

How an article is written

1. A question first, not a keyword. Each page answers something people actually ask. The answer goes in the first paragraph, in 40 to 60 words, before any argument for anything.
2. Primary sources, fetched. We read the page we cite. If a source cannot be reached, or turns out to say something narrower than the claim we wanted to make, the claim is cut or rewritten to match the source. We do not cite a statistic through a blog that cites a report; we cite the report.
3. Canadian first. Where a Canadian source exists for a Canadian claim, it is the one we use, and we say when a number excludes a province (several national health datasets exclude Quebec).
4. Every number carries its year. Old numbers are labelled as old rather than quietly refreshed.
5. Weak evidence is labelled in the same sentence as the number. Small samples, single studies, null results and vendor-supplied figures are described as what they are. A null result that goes against our commercial interest gets published as a null result.
6. No invented quotations, ever. A quotation on this site is text we copied from a page we opened, attributed to that page. When we cannot verify something, the page says "Not publicly stated" or omits it.
7. No stock statistics. If we cannot find a source for a number that "everyone knows", the number does not appear.

Authors and reviewers

Every page carries a byline and dates. Where the byline reads "Moneli Automation editorial", the page was written and fact-checked in-house by the editorial team rather than by one named individual; where one person is responsible for a page, that person is named.

Two gates sit in front of publishing, and you can see from the page itself which one it has been through:

• Clinical reviewer. Pages about a health situation — a fall, a long lie, dementia at night, what to do after a hospital discharge — are reviewed by a named clinician: a geriatric nurse, occupational therapist or physician, whose name and credentials then appear in the byline. No clinician has been named on this site yet, so a page in that group states in its own disclaimer that it has not had that review. Read it as sourced writing about a category, not as clinical guidance about a person.
• Privacy reviewer. Pages that interpret PHIPA, PIPEDA or provincial long-term care law are reviewed by a named privacy reviewer or counsel, and carry a "general information, not legal advice" line. Until one is named, those pages tell you exactly where we could not open a statute ourselves and say to confirm the wording before relying on it.

Health pages never diagnose, never tell you to delay care, and always point to emergency services where that is the right answer.

How often we re-check

The next review date is printed on the page, in front-matter and in the sitemap. A page past its review date has not been silently refreshed; it has not been reviewed yet, and we would rather you could see that.

Methodology

This is how a comparison, a category matrix or a directory listing is built.

Scope

Products available in Canada at the time of checking. If the vendor does not state Canadian availability, the listing says "Not publicly stated" rather than assuming from a shipping page.

Attributes recorded on every listing

Sensor type; camera (yes/no); microphone (yes/no); anything that must be worn (yes/no); the vendor's fall-detection claim in the vendor's own words, quoted; hosting country; Canadian availability; pricing model; the vendor's own URL.

Provenance, per attribute

Each listing records the source URL it was taken from, the date it was checked, and the product or firmware version it was checked against. Attributes change between hardware revisions and between subscription tiers, so a value without a version is a value we cannot stand behind. Where the vendor publishes different answers in different places, we take the one on the product page and note the conflict.

"Not publicly stated" means exactly that

It means we looked, on the vendor's own pages, and the vendor does not say. It does not mean "no", it does not mean "unknown to anyone", and it is not a judgement about the product. It is the only thing we are entitled to write when a source does not exist. We never fill a gap with a guess, with a competitor's description, or with a number from a review site.

Why incomplete listings are noindexed

A listing missing any required attribute is published with noindex and stays out of search results and out of the sitemap until it is complete. A half-filled row still reads as a verdict — people compare the blanks — and a thin page that ranks is worse for a reader than no page at all. The same rule applies to WalledCare's own listing.

We quote vendor claims; we do not assert them

Several products in this category claim to detect falls. We reproduce the claim as the vendor words it, in quotation marks, with a link, and we note whether the vendor publishes real-world accuracy data. We have not independently tested any product listed here, including our own, and a quoted claim is not an endorsement or a verification of that claim. Where a vendor publishes a test result, we say who ran the test.

How rows are ordered

Alphabetically, or by the attribute the reader came for (camera / no camera, wearable / no wearable). There is no score, no star rating and no "best" badge, because we are not a neutral party and a ranking from us would be worth nothing.

What WalledCare is, so you can weigh what we write

WalledCare is a camera-free millimetre-wave radar presence sensor. It reports presence, movement, prolonged stillness and prolonged inactivity, room by room.

It does not detect falls. It does not measure breathing. It does not record video or audio. It does not call emergency services. It is not a medical device. If you find a page on this site — or on our product pages — that says or implies otherwise, that is an error and we want to hear about it.

What it does do is narrow: one plug-in unit per room, in rooms a camera cannot go into, with nothing for the person to wear, charge or press, and alerts written as sentences rather than as a data feed. That is the whole of the product, and it is the reason we can write about the rest of the category without needing a health claim to justify ourselves.

When we get it wrong

We will get things wrong: a number that moved, a vendor spec that changed, a source we read too quickly. Here is what happens then.

• We fix the page, not the record. The correction is made in the text, the last_reviewed date changes, and a dated correction note is added at the foot of the page saying what was wrong and what it now says. We do not quietly edit a number and leave the page looking as though it always said that.
• If the error changed the meaning, we say so at the top. A wrong statistic, a wrong legal statement or a wrong vendor attribute gets a visible note, not a footnote.
• If we cannot verify it again, it comes out. A claim whose source has disappeared is removed rather than left standing on a dead link.
• If a whole page was wrong, we unpublish it and say why on this page rather than deleting it silently.
• Speed. We aim to acknowledge a correction within two business days and to fix or explain within ten. If a claim is disputed and we cannot resolve it, we publish the dispute alongside the claim.

The longer version, including what we need from you and how vendor requests are handled, is on the corrections page.
