Amego Inc., a nonprofit HSO serving children and adults with IDD, uses Oddity.ai to surface aggression and self-injury from existing cameras in real time so staff can respond sooner. After a serious week where three people spent 30+ hours combing "dozens and dozens" of clips to find a single incident, Amego needed automated detection. Oddity deployed plug-and-play, then tuned thresholds and workflows to Amego's environment.
Incident detected in
seconds
Reduction in staff manually reviewing footage
Hours of manual review avoided (busy week)
Distributed group homes mean no one watches cameras 24/7, so critical moments are missed and reviews happen after the fact.
“Since we don’t have people watching cameras 24 hours a day, it took us more than 30 hours in a week going through dozens and dozens of camera footage,” said Chris Isabwa, Head of IT. The mandate: get immediate, reliable alerts when violence occurs so the right people act right away.”
Oddity now flags incidents—defined incidents that require administrative or clinical attention—in real time, giving staff time back to care and eliminating blind spots when no one is watching live. Integration was “smooth, pretty much plug-and-play,” with rapid iterations based on Amego’s feedback.
The system meets objectives today and continues to be tuned to balance false positives with timely notifications.”
