AN AI Technology to Help Prevent Falls

MorningStar of Arvada’s memory care provides an environment to enhance quality of life for residents including protecting their safety by preventing falls. This is especially important for those living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia as they are at increased risk for falls. Studies from the National Institute of Health report a 10 percent higher risk of falls for elderly people with dementia and Alzheimer; and a 7 times higher chance of a greater number of falls. Statistics like this are what lead to us innovative technology to detect and prevent falls with (AI) Artificial Intelligence like SafelyYou.

Experts explain the reasons people with dementia are more likely to fall are due to problems with mobility, balance and strength. Additionally many are prone to pacing, while others have trouble finding their way around and forget to pay attention to hazards. Agitation can lead to some people with Alzheimer’s walking too fast for their abilities. More falls can also make dementia worse as well as lower the person’s quality of life as they may become more fearful of falling and rely more on their caregivers.

SafelyYou utilizes cutting-edge artificial intelligence to enable cameras to detect falls with unprecedented accuracy. The video is recorded only when a fall is detected; and our team members are notified to provide immediate assistance. Families have peace of mind knowing a loved one is getting the quick response they need.
