Wearable IoT technology has become an important part of today’s elder care, as it can help detect falls and alert caregivers or family members immediately after an incident. This technology combines smart sensors, connectivity, and automated emergency response features that detect falls in real time and help reduce the time a person may remain unattended after. Let's look at what the WHO data says. Every year, 684,000 people die from falls. On top of this, there are 37.3 million cases in which a person ends up sustaining injuries from a fall that require medical attention. And there's also a significant number of people lie on the ground unattended for hours after falling, as is often the case for people living alone. That’s the gap these wearable IoT systems are trying to reduce. In this article, we'll talk about how fall detection actually works, from the sensors inside the wearable to the alert sent to a caregiver or family member.…
