The cane that calls for help when your patient can't.

Medical Device & Emerging Tech

VICTOR is a walking cane with a safety system built into the handle. Designed and engineered by Amptek Technologies in Richmond Hill, Ontario, it pairs a lightweight 470 g aluminum cane with AI fall detection, real-time GPS, a multi-function panic button and an automatic flashlight.

When a fall is detected and the cane is not returned upright, or when the user presses the button, VICTOR sounds an alarm and notifies family or care contacts through the free My Victor app, over its own cellular connection. No phone, Wi-Fi or wearable is needed, and there is no camera or microphone.

A walking cane first. A safety device second.

VICTOR looks, weighs and handles like a quality cane, so patients actually use it. The electronics live in the handle and the shaft.

  • 470 g aluminum body. Lightweight shaft with an ergonomic, non-slip handle. Black or brown.
  • 8 height settings, 76 to 94 cm. Optional quad or tripod tip for a wider base.
  • Nothing to wear, nothing to charge daily. 7+ days of battery on a normal charge. Magnetic charging cable in the box.
  • Private by design. No camera, no microphone, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The cane talks only to its own SIM and the My Victor app.

What happens when something goes wrong

VICTOR works on its own cellular connection (LTE-M / NB-IoT), so it does not depend on the patient carrying a phone.

A fall is detected

Edge AI in the handle recognises a fall. If the cane is not returned upright within 15 seconds, VICTOR sounds an alarm and notifies the patient's contacts. The AI is tuned to reduce false alarms from drops and bumps.

Or the patient presses the button

A multi-function panic button on the handle sounds an audible alarm and sends a push notification to every linked caregiver, with the cane's location.

Caregivers find them fast

Real-time GPS with cellular fallback shows where the cane is. A geofence alerts the family when a patient nears or leaves a set boundary, useful for cognitive decline and wandering.

One app for families and care teams

My Victor is free on the App Store and Google Play. Each cane can have several caregivers, and each caregiver can watch several canes.

  • Locate, alert, check in. See the cane on a map, get fall and SOS notifications, and review alert history.
  • Up to 40 canes per account. Built for retirement residences, long-term care homes and home-care agencies, not just families.
  • Transferable ownership. A cane can be handed to a new user or facility from inside the app.
  • Five languages. The app is available in English, French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese.
