Falls Detection and Prevention in Aged Care
Falls Detection and Prevention in Aged Care
Falls are a significant concern in aged care facilities, where elderly residents face increased risks due to factors like reduced mobility, balance issues, and chronic health conditions.
Effective fall detection and fall prevention measures are crucial to safeguarding their health and well-being.
The Australian Government’s Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety emphasizes the need for improved safety measures and the integration of advanced technologies in Aged Care.
At Acetek, we address this critical need with state-of-the-art solutions that align with the Commissions Standards.
Advanced Falls Detection Technology
Acetek’s partnership with Vayyar Care brings you an advanced fall detection system that meets the Royal Commission’s recommendations.
This technology goes beyond traditional fall alert devices, offering a virtual care assistant in every room.
Enhancing Privacy and Dignity
Vayyar Care’s touchless technology respects residents’ personal space by using 4D imaging radar, eliminating the need for intrusive cameras or wearables.
This system not only preserves privacy but also supports residents’ independence, promoting a higher quality of life.
Comprehensive Falls Prevention System
Vayyar Care’s fall detection and prevention system includes:
- Touchless Monitoring: 24/7 camera-free imaging ensures continuous protection while maintaining residents’ privacy.
- Real-Time Alerts: Immediate notifications to caregivers reduce response times and prevent prolonged periods of immobility.
- Predictive Analytics: Advanced analytics identify patterns that predict potential fall risks, enabling proactive care adjustments.
Effective Fall Alert Devices
Vayyar Care’s system integrates seamlessly with existing nurse call and emergency systems, ensuring smooth operation and reliable alerts:
- RF Sensors: Operating continuously, even in challenging environments like bathrooms, where the risk of falls is highest.
- Seamless Integration: Works effortlessly with current nurse call systems, providing instant alerts in critical situations.
Assessing Fall Risk in Aged Care
Vayyar Care’s touchless monitoring continuously gathers data on residents’ behaviors, identifying patterns that signal potential fall risks.
By analyzing this data, care providers can create personalized care plans that address and mitigate these risks, enhancing overall safety in aged care facilities.
The system uses low-power RF signals, which are 1,000 times weaker than those of a cell phone, to create detailed 4D images of the environment.
These images allow for precise detection of falls and abnormal movement patterns.
Integrated with AI-driven health analytics, Vayyar Care not only detects falls instantly but also predicts potential fall risks by analysing behavioural data.
This comprehensive approach enables proactive interventions, enhancing the safety and well-being of elderly residents in care facilities.
For example, frequent bathroom visits may indicate urinary tract infections, and prolonged time in bed might suggest mobility issues or fatigue, both of which are fall risk factors.
By leveraging this data, care providers can develop personalised care plans to address and mitigate these risks effectively, enhancing overall safety and well-being in aged care facilities.
Vayyar Care can be integrated directly with the Austco Tracera nurse call system.
