The rapidly aging global population and the growing fall incidents present the seniors and their families urgent challenges that require innovative solutions for the elderly safety and independence. Gamgee's Elderly Home Care Fall Detection system meets these needs effectively.

The number of people aged 60 and above has grown by 40% between 2020 and 2023, reaching 1.4 billion. This number is projected to further increase to 2.1 billion by 2050. This demographic shift demands solutions that support the elderly in living safely and independently.

Falls are a leading cause of injury among seniors, with 33% of those aged 65 and older experiencing falls annually, and this figure rises to 60% for those 85 and older. These incidents often result in serious injuries and hospitalisations, impacting quality of life.

Despite 77% of people expressing interest in home care services, only 7% currently use them. There is a significant gap in the market for accessible, affordable, and effective home care solutions.

Elderly individuals desire to maintain their independence and live comfortably at home. Traditional fall detection systems often require intrusive devices like cameras and wearables, which can be uncomfortable and stigmatising. Family members and caregivers seek reliable solutions for the safety of their elderly loved ones.

Gamgee's Elderly Home Care Fall Detection system delivers a reliable, user-friendly, and effective solution, enabling elderly individuals to live safely and independently in their own homes, while ensuring family members and caregivers peace of mind.

Falls are particularly dangerous for elderly individuals due to several critical factors.

Risk and Impact of Severe Injuries

Falls often cause serious injuries like hip fractures and head injuries, leading to pain, loss of mobility, and long-term disability. These injuries frequently require hospitalisation and surgery, increasing the risk of complications such as infections or blood clots. Serious falls can also worsen existing health conditions, raising the risk of mortality among seniors.

Loss of Independence

Falls can significantly reduce an elderly person’s ability to live independently. Even minor injuries can hinder daily activities, leading to reliance on caregivers or a move to assisted living. Delays in getting help after a fall can worsen outcomes, causing complications like pressure sores, dehydration, and muscle atrophy, further decreasing independence.

Fear of Falling

After experiencing a fall, seniors often fear falling again, leading them to limit their activities. This restriction can decrease physical fitness, cause social isolation, and negatively impact overall health and quality of life. The fear can make seniors hesitant to engage in previously enjoyed activities, affecting their well-being.

Typically, hardware vendors process bulk orders, dealing in quantities much larger than our current requirements. By showcasing a solid customer commitment, we're optimistic about negotiating a viable agreement with them.

Product Reliability: False alarms plague conventional fall detection systems, and as a novel system, we recognise that ours won't be flawless right off the bat. Our endgame is a product you can rely on implicitly, and achieving this will necessitate extensive testing across diverse homes. Therefore, the version released via this campaign will be a beta. We're looking to this incredible community for support, feedback, and real-world testing to refine and perfect our system.

Transparency and open dialogue are cornerstones of our ethos. We promise to keep our backers consistently updated and involved as we navigate the complexities and joys of bringing the Wi-Fi Elderly Home Care Fall Detection System to life.

We combine Wi-Fi CSI (Channel State Information) with AI Machine Learning algorithm to detect, analyse, and categorise motions. For instance, in a router with 3x3 MIMO antennas and n subcarriers evenly among the channel's 56 subcarriers, the system collects 9xn data groups, where n could be a high number. Processing this data and deriving unique patterns is what our AI Machine Learning algorithm on the routers is performing.
