The US CDC reports that each year, there are about 36 million falls among adults ages 65+, and 37% of those falls result in an injury that requires

medical treatment. After a fall, prompt medical treatment is crucial. 


The "Golden Hour" is a medical phrase used to describe the first hour after an emergency event, when treatment is said to be most likely to save the

individual.

A detecting device like contactless mmWave detecting sensor or mobile PERS device such as GPS tracker with SOS button enables users to quickly reach

specialists, saving critical minutes after a fall or other emergency.When detecting a fall, they quickly send the notification to the caregiver and the relatives.


According to the New England Journal of Medicine, "For elderly people who live alone, becoming incapacitated and unable to get help is a common event,

which usually marks the end of their ability to live independently.”
