First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a device called KASPARD that uses remote sensors to detect falls and nighttime activity in nursing homes. Researchers compared fall rates over 100 nights with the alarm on versus 100 nights with the alarm off. The goal was to see if the system could reduce falls in elderly residents at high risk.
