THE KIT TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY AND WARN OF DANGER

-

Radar sensors track activity – sending an alert to relatives or carers if patient gets stuck or falls

Ear piece worn for a few hours tracks vital signs such as blood pressure, body temperatur­e and brain activity

Pressure sensors, track sleep quality and duration

Door sensors monitor use of bathroom, raising the alarm if pattern suggests infection or tummy trouble

Computer uses artificial intelligen­ce to combine patient informatio­n and flag any changes – for instance highlighti­ng a change in walking pattern that might suggest a patient is at risk of a fall, or an elevated temperatur­e that could suggest an infection This informatio­n can be used by doctors to monitor changes or send an alert to relatives if someone is in danger

Sensors on microwaves and kettles and movement sensors on fridge check patient is eating regularly

Robotic devices audibly warn of risks – such as spilt liquid or a cooker left on – and one day might be able to send a robotic vacuum to clear up
