    Developing a fall detector to enhance the elderly’s safety at home

     

    The venture aims to enhance protection for the elderly by developing a ready-to-use and stand-alone fall detector. Making use of the latest Edge Artificial Intelligence technology, the fall detector can recognise the poses and body gestures of the elderly. When it detects a falling motion of the elderly, an alert message will be sent to the family members and caregivers. The device can be placed at different areas of the elderly’s home to accurately detect the falling motion of the elderly. Besides, there is no need to upload the elderly’s images to the Cloud, thus protecting both the safety and privacy of the elderly.
