This project is aimed at introducing a new technology to allow close relatives or carers to remotely monitor the wellbeing of their loved-ones, without the need for inconvenient wearables or intrusive cameras.Existing systems can monitor for falls, or track activities over the course of a day, but these require pendants, medallions, smart watches, or smart phones. These devices require charging, or may get lost or forgotten. To truly be reliable the system must be wearable-free.NodeNs Medical will develop a sensor that is wearable free, safe, and does not require cameras or video. It will use harmless radio waves at powers lower than a Wi-Fi router or mobile phone, to create a map of activities in the home. While this map is not recognisable to humans (and thus will preserve one's privacy), an on-board artificial intelligence engine will be trained to understand what the map shows is happening. This will allow it to ask the resident if they are okay, call for help, or notify a relative or carer through an app. Wearable-free home care monitoring is ripe to disrupt the smart home market.Through an Extension for Impact award, NodeNs Medical will work with an NHS Trust to explore provision of our home monitoring system in a local community. The NHS Trust recognises that the global pandemic makes it difficult to reach the people they serve, and are therefore searching for more effective means of ensuring their safety and protecting their wellbeing. This Extension will support a pilot which will allow members of the community to benefit from this state-of-the-art wearable-free monitoring solution.

该项目旨在引入一种新技术，让近亲或护理人员能够远程监控他们所爱的人的健康状况，而不需要不方便的可穿戴设备或侵入式摄像头。现有系统可以监控福尔斯，或跟踪一天中的活动，但这些都需要吊坠，奖章，智能手表或智能手机。这些设备需要充电，或者可能会丢失或忘记。要真正做到可靠，系统必须是免穿戴的。NodeNs Medical将开发一种免穿戴、安全、不需要摄像头或视频的传感器。它将使用无害的无线电波，功率低于Wi-Fi路由器或移动的电话，以创建一个家庭活动地图。虽然这张地图是人类无法识别的（因此将保护一个人的隐私），但机载人工智能引擎将接受训练，以了解地图显示正在发生的事情。这将允许它询问居民是否没事，打电话寻求帮助，或通过应用程序通知亲属或护理人员。可穿戴式家庭护理监控已经成熟，可以扰乱智能家居市场。通过影响力扩展奖，NodeNs Medical将与NHS Trust合作，探索在当地社区提供我们的家庭监控系统。NHS信托基金认识到，全球大流行使其难以接触到他们所服务的人，因此正在寻找更有效的方法来确保他们的安全和保护他们的福祉。该扩展将支持一个试点，使社区成员能够从这种最先进的免穿戴监控解决方案中受益。
