FEARLESS: Fear Elimination As Resolution for Loosing Elderly’s Substantial Sorrows


Description

FEARLESS is a project designed to detect
a wide range of risks with a single
sensor unit, enhancing mobility and enabling
elderly to take active part in the
self-serve society by reducing their fears.
As elderly often refuse to wear any additional
sensors to activate alarm calls,
FEARLESS will visually and acoustically
detect and handle risks by contacting
the relatives or care taker organization
(e.g. TES or SAM) automatically - without
the need of any user intervention.
FEARLESS does not only enhance the
mobility by reducing fears but also triggers
an alarm, if significant behavioural
changes (e.g. less mobility, change of
health condition and many others) are
detected.
The actual low penetration of the technology
is expected to offer growth opportunities
to information and communications
infrastructure providers, social
alarm equipment’s suppliers as well as
community service providers.
