𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥. ⏱️ For older adults, oftentimes it’s not the actual fall, but the time spent lying helplessly on the floor that determines the risk of medical complications and psychological stress. Most fall-detection algorithms are developed & demonstrated on simulated falls, clean, sharp jolts, approaching 100% sensitivity. And yet, traditional solutions can miss roughly four in ten fall events! 𝐖𝐡𝐲? Falls among older-adults are often low-impact: a slow weight-shift or crumple. State of the art fall safety should include: 👉 tolerating a lower, more sensitive impact threshold, 👉 analyzing what the body does after the impact. Adding a post-fall posture check (is the person now lying down?) 👉 Using a 'check-first' approach: when a possible fall is detected, users are given a brief cancellation period to avoid false positives. 𝐙𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐙𝐢𝐚 fall prevention suite includes 👉 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝, the most advanced fall sensor technology using AI & millimeter-wave radar technology 👉 𝐀 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 our portfolio of alerting solutions to allow for reliable 2-way voice communication between older adults and their care teams or a 24-7 monitoring center. Designed to enable care teams to effectively support their vulnerable patients when it matters most. Safety starts with reliable detection. 💙 Interested in learning more?
