fall detection

OneStep's fall risk assessment and prevention capabilities will be merged with DarioHealth's chronic condition management platform.

Edward Shi and Paras Unadkat, product managers at Google, tell MobiHealthNews what challenges they faced when developing the technology and what future versions of the Watch may include. 

Edward Shi and Paras Unadkat, product managers at Google, tell MobiHealthNews how their teams worked together to build the Pixel Watch's fall-detection features.

The wearable uses its motion sensors to determine if the user has taken a hard fall and can contact emergency services if they don't respond.

The trial aims to enable hospitals and nursing homes to quickly respond to emergency situations while ensuring patients' privacy.

CEO of Kami Vision Yamin Durrani talks about the company's new fall-detection AI technology for elder care. It employs home cameras to alert for a fall, then routes notices to concerned parties, while considering privacy.

It can also predict falls by using AI and a deep sensing camera that observes a wearer's movement.

This week's top stories include provider orgs launching a campaign to protect and expand telehealth, and Amazon partnerships adding fall detection to its Alexa Together service.

Vayyar and Assistive Technology Service (ATS) are options for fall-detection devices as part of the Alexa Together subscription that allows caregivers to remotely assist family members.

The funding round comes months after the company raised $19.5 million in Series A financing.
