Objective
➢ To provide quality care to our seniors in their
rooms with enhanced safety and mental comfort
4
Opportunity
➢ Current products > user-driven, contact-based, privacy
issues
➢ Unreported accidents > increased casualties and related
costs
➢ Elderly population > on the rise, 55M over 65 [1]
➢Market is growing > $220 billion (2012) to $346 billion 2040
[1]
5
How to fill the gap?
➢ By removing their fear of forgetting
wearable
➢ Keeping their privacy intact
➢ Capturing unreported broken breaths and
falls
➢With data-driven, auto and speedy alerts
to caregivers
➢ Saving related costs to them, their
caregivers and institutional elder-care
facilities
6
Our project
➢ Develop a solution for:
Contactless
Detection of breathing, activities and falls, and their
patterns, and notifying caregivers in case of emergency
➢ Using our smart algorithms and off-the-shelf hardware
7
What our solution can offer?
➢Contactless monitoring, no worries of
wearables
➢Auto alert generation, 24/7 uninterupted
service
➢Hassle-free care, especially for Dementia
patients
➢Detection of breathing & falls, even in
washrooms
➢Can help fall prevention
➢For around $60/m or $600 once
