Elderly Falls – The Acute ProblemThe major concern of elderly caregivers

3

In 2013, direct medical costs for falls in U.S. —what patients and insurance companies pay—totaled $34 billion (CDC)


Existing Fall Detectors Limitations

4

Existing products are wearable, accelerometer based

End Result - Limited penetration, 2-4% (Parks Assoc. 2013)

Operational limitations

Senior perception and image issues

Usually removed during bath and sleeping time (non 24/7)

Seniors neglect re-wearing when getting out of bed or bath

Limited acceptance and use

High rate of false alarms and miss-detects (not accepted by both seniors and operators)

Gets partial information (mainly body motions)

Requires periodical charging

The World is Heading Towards Elderly Crisis

• Elderly population:

• US - 45M in 2015, 85M in 2050

• China - 200M in 2015, 400M in 2040

• Japan – 30M (25% of population)

• Dramatic reduction in caregivers per family member

• Necessitates paradigm shift toward automated and remote monitoring

65+ population will be doubled in 30 years

Various Falls

• Collapse fall• Sliding in bath• Sliding from a chair• Repeated non-acute falls

Stress Cases• Long stay at restroom• Hyperventilation breathing• Abnormal motions

Sleep Monitoring

• Sleep Apnea• Exceeding restroom

access• Exceeding sleeping cycles

ECHO Supported Emergency cases

Additional Emergency Cases

Breathing stress during sleep

• Location – bed

• Posture – laying

• Motion – low motion

• Respiration – change from normal to hyperventilation

• Conclusion – Breathing stress

11

Long stay at restroom

• Location – restroom, 2 hour

• Posture – sitting

• Motion – low motion

• Respiration – normal

• Conclusion – 2-hour stay in restroom


Long Term Abnormal Cases

Repeated falls detection

• Identify & alert on several non-acute falls

• Take preventive actions to reduce acute-fall risk

13

Kitchen usage routine change

• CSA identifies a lower number of daily kitchen usage
