Fall Detection Using Thermal Imaging
Worried about the well being of your aging family members?
Want to maintain your independence, living alone longer?
This product could be right for you!
We are creating a hands-free fall detection device that examines infrared energy through our thermal sensor, scanning for falls. Upon detection of a fall, a family member or PSW is automatically notified through our mobile app currently being created by Lakehead Software Engineering Alumni!
This system is specifically designed to create peace of mind for families while allowing seniors to maintain their independence, without changing their lifestyle at all.
