Continuous monitoring of position and behaviours for post-operative and dementia care in domiciliary and care home environments. Provides real time data and alerts to helpers and carers, with an auditable history that can highlight the status (stability or progression) of a person's condition.
In addition to knowing location the system can be used to determine where, when and for how long people are standing, sitting, lying down, walking, including unusual movements and falls. Alerts can be sent when users transgress into danger areas through virtual geofencing or when they come into proximity with other members of a social group. Vital signs sensor data is always accompanied by a positioning context.
Benefits
Precise location indoors and outdoors, easier to install than other location technologies, more accurate than infra-red, RFID, RSSI and WiFi and on all the time. Unit and system cost of hardware highly competitive, avoids cost and disruption of wired infrastructure. Better technical solution, better cost benefit.
