The safety of users in the built environment is difficult to ensure in crowded, hazardous or isolated spaces. Bare Conductive (BC) seeks to develop a sensing product that can monitor and recognise human behaviour for the prediction and prevention of danger to human life, focusing specifically on private spaces that can present significant risk to vulnerable or elderly people living independently. Of the 10 million over 65s living in the UK, one third suffer a fall annually, accounting for over 4 million bed days and at a healthcare cost of £2 billion a year. Through long term passive monitoring of user behaviour, this project has the potential to pre-empt and alert carers to endangering behaviour, without encroaching on personal privacy of users. BC will use its existing large scale printed capacitive proximity sensor technologies to create a fall detecting product for elderly individuals and carers, which can be retrofitted to the built environment to discreetly monitor individual presence, location and movement over time to pre-empt and detect a fall event. The product will combine large, thin printed sensor pads printed on paper or plastic combined with high resolution sensor hardware, creating a thin, low cost, high resolution product with the potential for discreet installation. The primary economic impacts of the project will be a cost savings due to the reduction of incidence of falls in the home or other care situations, BC revenue growth and revenue growth of UK based subcontractors.

在拥挤、危险或孤立的空间中，建筑环境中的用户安全难以确保。Bare Conductive（BC）致力于开发一种传感产品，可以监测和识别人类行为，以预测和预防对人类生命的危险，特别关注可能对独立生活的弱势群体或老年人构成重大风险的私人空间。在英国65岁以上的1000万人中，有三分之一的人每年都会摔倒，占400多万床日，每年的医疗费用为20亿英镑。通过对用户行为的长期被动监测，该项目有可能在不侵犯用户个人隐私的情况下，预先防范和提醒护理人员注意危险行为。BC将利用其现有的大规模印刷电容式接近传感器技术，为老年人和护理人员创建跌倒检测产品，该产品可以根据建筑环境进行改造，以谨慎地监测个人的存在，位置和运动，以预防和检测跌倒事件。该产品将联合收割机与高分辨率传感器硬件相结合，将印刷在纸或塑料上的大而薄的印刷传感器垫结合起来，从而形成一种薄、低成本、高分辨率的产品，具有谨慎安装的潜力。该项目的主要经济影响将是由于家庭或其他护理情况下的福尔斯发生率降低而节省的成本，BC收入增长和英国分包商的收入增长。
