Traditional fall detection devices required the fall victim to press a button to alert persons of a fall. This method is ineffective in cases where the fallen person is unconscious or unable to signal the alert. Newer wearable devices, while improved, are still flawed. Fall detection in these devices is not 100% accurate, alerts are not instantaneous, and they are removable (which can be a problem for individuals with cognitive impairments like dementia). Additionally, these devices do not monitor the environment for slip, trip and fall hazards.
By implementing slip and fall detection systems across your existing network of cameras, these concerns are eliminated. AI fall detection software constantly monitors the environment and alerts the emergency contacts the moment a fall occurs. No wearable devices or action from the fallen person is required. What’s more, AI-powered software features slip, trip, and fall prevention that reduces the likelihood of a fall occurring. This is done by constantly monitoring the environment and alerting personnel of a slip or trip hazard such as a spilled coffee or debris on the ground.
