Two products at different progress level will be shown:
  • A commercial version of a Fall Detector device, developed after the piloting experience in FATE project. The current product is an evolution of the device used during the pilot. Main target population for this product is elderly people needing constant or temporary supervision. Presented Fall Detector works linked with the own user mobile phone through a proprietary application. When a fall is detected, a message is sent to a configurable phone number (corresponding to one relative, career or alarm service).
  • Monitoring device for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients. This is a partial outcome of REMPARK project. Monitoring device is able to identify motor symptoms related with PD and to determine the duration of the symptoms, giving a quantitative ratio between ON and OFF patient status. This device offers the possibility, for a first time, for a real substitution of the patient diary in the evolution control of the disease. This device opens new possibilities for a more accurate management of the disease and permits the real on-line control of the evolution of the patient in ambulatory conditions.
