Problem
Many older adults desire to age in place, but face risks such as falls, which can lead to serious health consequences and increased dependence on caregivers. Traditional methods of monitoring seniors often rely on wearable devices, which can be uncomfortable, stigmatizing, and easily forgotten or removed, leaving the individual unprotected. This creates emotional and financial strain on both the aging individual and their families.
Solution
Wisdom offers a privacy-preserving smart home system designed to support older adults aging in place. The system uses non-wearable sensors to detect falls and other potential emergencies, providing real-time alerts to caregivers and emergency services. By continuously monitoring the environment without requiring the user to wear a device, Wisdom promotes safety and independence while respecting privacy. The system aims to reduce the anxiety and burden associated with caregiving, allowing families to navigate the challenges of aging with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes older adults who wish to maintain their independence and age safely in their own homes, as well as their adult children and other caregivers who seek to provide support and peace of mind.
