What was said
""We have adopted monitoring technology from the Israeli nursing home industry. And so um we put sensors in the rooms that are hardwired. There's no Bluetooth. There's no Wi-Fi. And they passively monitor the guest to make sure basically to make sure they're safe.""
Gardner says Acrya’s dark rooms use hardwired sensors, described as derived from Israel’s nursing-home sector, to monitor retreatants’ heart rate, temperature, respiration and movement. He says the system is designed to flag escalating distress and enable staff intervention if someone appears at risk of a “breakthrough” or “psychotic break” scenario.
