Fall Prevention and Alarm Systems
Falls are the most common cause of injuries among the elderly and the leading reason for hospital admissions due to injuries. By utilizing a sensor for fall prevention and alarms, the preventative efforts can be strengthened, the number of falls reduced, and the consequences of falls minimized when they do occur.
Falls – Prevention and alarms can significantly reduce suffering and costs.
The Solution
Individuals living in care homes or private residences are offered the installation of a fall sensor in their homes. The primary purpose of the fall sensor is to issue an alarm when a fall is about to happen or when a fall has already occurred. The sensor is also trained to recognize situations where there is a risk of falling, such as when a person is getting out of bed. Each sensor is customized based on the specific needs of the resident in whose home it is installed. The settings are determined in collaboration between the resident and the care staff.
When an alarm is triggered, the fall sensor records the event, allowing the staff to review what happened and, if necessary, design preventive measures to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Example of a Sensor
The Cogvis AI fall sensor is one of several tools that can enhance fall prevention efforts and reduce the number of falls. Cogvis AI is well-tested and has been implemented in hundreds of care facilities across Europe. By using the Cogvis AI fall sensor, your organization can strengthen its fall prevention efforts and reduce the occurrence of falls.
The technology is designed to protect personal integrity. There is no built-in camera or microphone, meaning no video or audio recording is possible. It does not function as constant surveillance; it activates only during an alarm and solely in response to movements it is programmed to detect. It cannot monitor activities such as taking medication, lying in bed, or getting dressed. It is also impossible to identify the person triggering the alarm, as the sensor cannot distinguish faces, skin tones, hair, or clothing colors [This paragraph needs revision to describe what the sensor does instead of what it does not do.]
Results
By integrating the Cogvis AI fall sensor into your operations, you can identify and analyze fall risks or incidents at an early stage. The tool allows you to improve your fall prevention measures, thereby reducing the number of falls. At the same time, it contributes to safer, more independent, and secure care for individuals and provides effective methods for staff to work efficiently.
