Remote Activity Monitoring and Fall Detection System

Gold Sentintel has built a non-visual fall detection and respiration monitoring product for Long Term Care called ElephasCare LTC. ElephasCare LTC utilizes passive radar sensors to detect residents’ position within their rooms, monitoring motion and respiration, and automatically notifying caregivers in the event of a fall, or lack of respiration. This project looks to enhance the feature set to add temperature and other vital sign sensing – all remotely and autonomously monitored, reducing personal contact with caregivers, promoting physical distancing, and providing early detection for potentially infectious diseases where temperature, respiration or other vital sign metrics are indicative of possible infection.
