Innovation in the prevention of falls in hospitals
Carmen Jiménez gave a presentation on the importance of hospitals and private companies working together to innovate in the prevention of falls and assistance to users in the event of an accident. During the presentation, he showed the benefits of wearable devices such as our ID Vita smartwatch, thanks to its fall sensor and its ability to make calls to contact users in any situation. This type of adapted devices allow us to offer proactive assistance to users and to assist them as quickly as possible at any time. In addition, our innovation director delved into the new possibilities that Artificial Intelligence is offering when it comes to helping to detect and prevent the risk of a person suffering a fall, as well as other uses with devices such as our ID Vita smartwatch.
