Traditional wearable devices for elderly home health monitoring, such as pendants and wristbands, come with their own set of problems. Many older adults find them uncomfortable, forget to wear them, or have difficulty operating them in emergencies. In fact, studies show that a significant percentage of elderly individuals who fall and have access to an emergency alarm don't use it.
Enter SmartGuardian. This innovative system, developed in Ireland, offers a device-free solution for monitoring the well-being of seniors in their own homes. Instead of relying on wearables, SmartGuardian uses discreet sensors placed around the home to detect falls and monitor activity levels.
Here's how SmartGuardian removes the issues associated with traditional wearables:
- No Device to Wear: SmartGuardian eliminates the need for uncomfortable or easily forgotten wearables, promoting greater comfort and independence.
- Automatic Fall Detection: Advanced AI and radar sensor technology automatically detect falls anywhere in the home, even in the bathroom, without requiring the user to trigger an alarm.
- 24/7 Monitoring: SmartGuardian continuously monitors for abnormal behaviors that could indicate a health issue, providing an added layer of safety.
- Privacy-Protected: The system uses a unique stick figure representation for in-home monitoring, ensuring complete user anonymity.
- Direct Communication: In the event of an emergency, family members can communicate directly with their loved one from within the same room to assess the situation and provide reassurance.
SmartGuardian offers a smarter, safer, and more affordable way for elderly individuals to live independently in their own homes. It's a cutting-edge solution that prioritises privacy, comfort, and peace of mind for both seniors and their families.
