The Hidden Heat in Older People’s Homes

PR Campaign

Friday 14th August, 2026

Lilli analysed temperature data from homes monitored by its care technology and revealed that 81% had exceeded recommended summer temperatures, with some reaching 40°C. The timely findings turned an unseen risk for older and vulnerable people into a clear news story, while demonstrating the value of Lilli’s monitoring system.

Why it worked: It used proprietary sensor data to quantify a hidden, immediate risk during a national heatwave, plus named extreme 40°C hotspots.

The lesson: Consider mining your product’s real-time data to expose an urgent safety gap tied to an unfolding event, with clear thresholds.
