Des chaussettes "connectées" pour suivre les personnes démentes par exemple.
Successful trials across the UK
And now the SmartSocks will undergo a trial in the care homes of the southwest England county of Dorset, according to a report. The socks, lined with sensors, are paired with an app on a mobile device. The sensors collect physiological information from the wearer’s ankle and send it to the app. This data is transferred to a cloud platform where machine learning algorithms process the information.
Sophisticated algorithms, whose patent is pending, then estimate the likelihood of whether the person wearing the SmartSocks is experiencing distress. When the AI software detects any anomaly, it alerts about the distress through the app. The care team then can intervene and take the necessary steps.
