SafelyYou's mission is to improve dementia care through fall detection and prevention tech.
Falls pose a heightened injury risk to the estimated one in three people over 85 who live with dementia, but with contributing factors being varied and often circumstantial, the risk is hard to combat. SafelyYou is looking to bring tech to the rescue, with AI-enabled real-time fall protection cameras that detect falls in the home with 99% accuracy, reportedly reducing falls by 40%, and ER visits from falls by an impressive 80%.
Camera monitoring of dementia patients and seniors is an increasingly common practice. Surveillance helps shoulder some of the 15 billion unpaid care hours provided by Americans to loved ones suffering from the disease, and reviewing fall footage helps determine whether ER visits, and the potentially crippling co-pays, are strictly necessary. The privacy concerns are substantial, however, and this is where SafelyYou stands especially strong: the cameras are activated only when an incident takes place.
So SafelyYou is tackling an urgent problem with dignity and to great effect - and they’re receiving industry recognition and substantial funding for their efforts. With one in five Medicare dollars spent in the field of dementia, and the global cost of the disease expected to double by 2030, the market is wise to be supporting this effective and growing organization.
