Problem
Monitoring elderly individuals in residential and healthcare settings presents challenges, especially under policies of non-restraint, where timely assistance during incidents is crucial. Traditional monitoring methods often lack the ability to detect falls and unusual behavior promptly, potentially delaying necessary medical intervention.
Solution
Ingevital offers a solution using wireless radar technology to monitor vital signs and detect falls without compromising privacy. The system employs radar sensors that analyze Doppler effects to monitor movements and vital signs in bed. For fall detection, the radar utilizes KNN technology to identify the position of individuals in a space, determining if a fall has occurred while maintaining privacy by avoiding camera recordings. The data is transmitted via WiFi to a data collection device, which generates alarms based on predefined parameters, enabling prompt response to incidents.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes residential care facilities, hospitals, and home healthcare providers seeking non-intrusive monitoring solutions for elderly or at-risk individuals.
