Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Patient Safety Systems

Background:

  • Falls pose a significant risk in hospitals and homes, affecting diverse patient populations beyond the elderly.
  • Existing fall detection methods require evaluation for efficacy in real-world clinical environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare and implement effective fall detection technologies specifically for hospital settings.
  • To assess the performance of various wearable and contactless fall detection systems.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluation of wearable technologies, Passive Infrared (PIR) detectors, and millimeter-wave (mmWave) sensors.
  • Testing conducted in a living laboratory (HEALTHLab.vsb.cz) and a clinical hospital environment (Hospital AGEL Třinec - Podlesí).

Main Results:

  • The optimal solution involved deploying two Vayyar Home Care devices within a single room.
  • This configuration achieved a fall detection accuracy of 92.50% and a sensitivity of 92.50%.

Conclusions:

  • Dual-device deployment of Vayyar Home Care shows high efficacy in fall detection within hospital rooms.
  • Contactless mmWave technology presents a viable and accurate solution for enhancing patient safety through fall detection.
