The Move More Live More project in Northern Ireland aims to prevent falls by the elderly by predicting risks that contribute to falls weeks ahead of time.
The project, which involves Ulster University and other local institutions, involves wearing a smart watch that monitors activity levels, sleep, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, as well as providing predictive analytics to detect changes that can indicate an increased risk of falling.
Said Vicki Caddy of the Age NI charity. "If there are any changes, the software will pick that up, even before the individual wearer would be aware that there was anything different."
