What we offer
For elders undergoing care for illnesses or disabilities, living alone can be dangerous. Even for residents of nursing homes or patients in hospital wards, the nursing staff with their heavy workloads often struggle to provide optimal care 24/7. Hikvision’s intelligent radar sensors are a great help in these environments, enabling more comfortable, predictive, and refined elder or patient care in an efficient and contact-free way. Read on to learn more.
Key technology
- Radar technology can be used to measure the distance, orientation and pitch angle of an object to form a high-density cloud of points, enabling precise object positioning.
- Radar technology can also measure the frequency of movements such as a chest rising and falling, so as to calculate a person’s breathing and heart rates.
Recommended solution
Secure those in need with responsive, non-contact care
Hikvision’s Fall Detection Radar Sensor uses harmless millimeter waves to detect human posture changes without making physical contact or the hassle of wearable devices. If someone falls, the radar sensor will send an alarm immediately on the HikCentral Professional Software to alert healthcare workers. Thermal Presence Detectors provide a thermal picture of the incident for double-checking.
The Fall Detection Radar Sensor also provides an overstay alarm, preventing elders or patients from staying in the bathroom too long unnoticed.
Without the need to record images or video, the combination of non-intrusive radar and thermal technologies maximizes healthcare while protecting privacy.
Identify health and safety issues with instant data
When combined, Hikvision’s Auxiliary Care Radar Sensor and Thermal Presence Detector can detect the care receiver’s vital signs, including breathing rate, heart rate, and sleep quality, as well as anomalies in the room using algorithms. They trigger instant alarms upon detection of noise or unexpected visitors, or when the elder or patient does not return to the room or bed within a pre-set time.
These health and alarm data are available in real time using Hikvision’s own HikCentral Professional Software. Whether on a PC at the nursing station or a mobile device on the go, caregivers can identify problems in the early stages. This prevents elders or patients from needing assistance for long periods of time without a caregiver noticing.
