点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Conventional methods of monitoring older people’s health either rely on labour-intensivemanual checks or alarm systems which are often too late to receive healthcare interventionthat could save a life. For older users in particular, wearable devices can be complex,inconvenient and uncomfortable, and for those with dementia can easily be forgotten.By combining state of the art computer vision techniques with data analytics xim is aiming tocreate a prototype technology that will predict a heart attack up to 24hours before it occurswithout the need for wearable devices or expensive specialist equipment.In this project, Xim will create a basic prototype and in conjunction with University HospitalSouthampton, perform pre-clinical tests to validate this technology.This technology has significant potential to solve a global problem of providing earlypreventative alerts for older patients at low cost. The technology also has high potential fortransferability in sectors such as security and general wellbeing.
