How Vayyar Fall Detection Can Help Reduce Patient Falls
Millions of elderly Americans fall each year. One out of five will sustain a serious injury, and over 800,000 will be hospitalized because of those injuries. The cost to the healthcare system because of these falls totaled more than $50 billion dollars, which the federal government shouldered most of that cost.
Fall prevention has become key in many hospitals and healthcare facilities. Vayyar Fall Detection offers new technology to help monitor seniors' activities. Below, we'll take a look at Vayyar Fall Detection and its features as it helps to reduce the number of patient falls. Contact Symtech Solutions today!
IMPERCEPTIBLE
One of the best features of Vayyar Fall Detection is that it is almost imperceptible to your residents and/or patients. It uses no cameras, which is a big concern for residents and patients who feel like cameras are an invasion of their privacy. It uses no cumbersome wearables, which can irritate seniors' skin and cause them to want to remove the wearable. Plus, there are no cords to trip over or buttons that someone has to remember to push to activate the system. This is a boon to both seniors and to staff.
FEATURES NUMEROUS PROTECTIONS
Vayyar Fall Detection monitors your loved one's activities using low-frequency radio waves. These radio waves monitor the entire square footage of their assisted living facility and room. This means that Vayyar Fall Detection can report across multiple areas seamlessly. It can track when your loved one gets out of bed, when they enter the restroom, if they are in their rooms, and if they are wandering around at night for an exorbitant amount of time. Truly, your loved one's needs are covered for falls
OFFERS HELP WITH HEALTHCARE DIAGNOSIS
As mentioned above, Vayyar Fall Detection can track your loved one's movements to different locations throughout their space. This information is then stored and can be viewed by healthcare providers to gain insight into your loved one's health. For instance, if your loved one is spending a lot of time in the restroom, this could be an indication of a health problem. Similarly, if your loved one engages in wandering, additional preventive measures can be put into place as well. Let Symtech Solutions help. Call today.
OFFERS PEACE OF MIND
Another great benefit that Vayyar Home Detection offers is peace of mind for caregivers, residents, and their loved ones. Knowing that someone (or, in this case, something) is always watching can offer a freedom for seniors to move about when they need it. This results in less panic calls from loved ones who may be worried about a resident, as well as less checks by staff.

Falls have many consequences that can affect a lot of people. Besides the person themselves, falls can take a financial toll on the family and on the healthcare system at large. Similarly, the healthcare facility may be found liable, costing them money that could have been spent on improving patient care. In short, it's imperative that your senior living community or other healthcare facility do everything they can to prevent falls from occurring in the first place.
