Alex S. Qi, CEO of Pontosense – which offers passive continuous monitoring using high frequency radar to help with fall detection and other monitoring to keep aging adults living safely in their homes for as long as possible. When considering that every 12 seconds there is a fall that results in hospitalization (and that 50% of family caregiver situations originate from emergency falls), it only makes sense to make falls detection an important pillar of your home safety planning. , especially in the four most high-risk rooms: kitchen, stairs, bedroom, and bathroom.

This is important because hearing solutions is an area for there is much user dissatisfaction – and that has expanded to avoidance of usage, and in a wider sense, even trial among many who postpone getting the help they need.
