| K4Connect, senior living’s leading integrated enterprise technology platform enabling the best in care, services and hospitality for older adults, and Vayyar Care, a global leader in automatic fall detection and remote monitoring, have entered into a partnership to bring next-generation touchless, camera-free fall detection technology to senior living residents and operators across the U.S.
Falls are the number one injury risk for older adults, accounting for tens of thousands of fatalities per year and billions in annual healthcare costs. Today, this problem is further compounded by the rapid decline in the caregiver workforce that supports the fast-growing older adult demographic. To address this nation-wide concern, Vayyar Care will integrate with K4Community, K4Connect’s solution for the residents, staff and operators of senior living communities, to deliver the industry’s most advanced automated fall detection solution available. Vayyar Care leverages advanced 4D imaging radar technology to deliver instant fall detection and activity data that enables personalized, proactive care management. Each sensor’s wide field of view covers an entire room, operating in all lighting conditions and even dense steam, making it ideal for use in bathrooms where 80% of falls occur. Together with K4Community, the integration will provide senior care operators with a private, passive, low-cost, and proactive resident safety tool that simultaneously alleviates pressure on overstretched care teams.
