Tech to prevent falls in social care settings

MariaPCC 19 March 2024

4D imaging technology which can prevent falls and automatically alert carers to a medical issue could soon be rolled out in more care homes across England. Whzan Guardian, a UK-developed technology, is a monitoring system that uses 4D mapping technology to track people’s movement around the house and detect falls through sensors placed around the home. Pilots in several care homes across England resulted in a 66% reduction in falls and around a 97.5% reduction in ambulances required.
