Hardware
- Compute Module: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano – 40 TOPS of AI performance, enough for voice and camera monitoring at once.
- GPU: NVIDIA Ampere (1024 CUDA cores) for real-time fall detection.
- Memory: 8GB LPDDR5 – enough headroom for 24/7 operation without restarts.
- Display: 42″ and larger, high contrast and legible type — designed for eyes that aren't getting any younger.
Lexie OS & Software Stack
- Voice engine: Whisper & Piper TTS — local listening and speech, no cloud or internet required.
- Monitoring (in development): a quiet fall-detection module — the camera watches for only one thing, and nothing is meant to be stored unless an event occurs. Exact thresholds are being finalized with geriatricians and lawyers.
- Privacy: no data ever leaves the device — designed with GDPR and sensitive personal data in mind.
- Connectivity: stable wired connection, resilient against Wi-Fi dropouts in thick-walled buildings.
