Project description
Wireless technologies detect threats to health and safety
The global population is ageing and the incidence of dementia or other serious conditions requiring constant care is increasing. In-home health monitoring 24/7 could have significant impact on their well-being and quality of life. Imagine having a nurse unobtrusively monitoring your vital signs and your body position round the clock to detect potential health issues. ViSionRF is developing inexpensive and effective technology to solve this problem. Relying on standard wireless technologies and advanced signal processing for rapid and accurate alerts, the system promises to enhance patient wellness and reduce the burden on healthcare systems and loved ones.
