Risk Factors for Elderly Population
Fall Detection
Falling is one of the most common causes of trauma for individuals aged 65+ (NHS, 2018)
High number of emergency room admissions and prolonged hospital stays contribute to the high expenses encountered by Government
Using wearable devices
Activity recognition software (using cameras or height sensors) can use the data collected to detect any form of high-risk activity, and alert the care providers
Medication
Monitored by caregiver, family member or nursing staff
Gives independence
Removes unnecessary use of resources (staff, hired care provider)
Monitor the actions and the frequency of medication intake, hydration and food uptake
Wandering
The main objective of tracking devices is for caregivers to be aware and ensure safety of their patients
Individuals with dementia have a much higher tendency to wander and/or find themselves in unfamiliar territories
GPS trackers will enable remote monitoring of their whereabouts to ensure safety
In-house Security
High risk of intruders in their homes
Monitoring and facial biometric recognition ensures safety of the elderly with dementia
Surveillance camera with Artificial Intelligence, capable of distinguishing unfamiliar faces and sending alerts
Security and safety sensors
