"By aiding different nursing houses to arrange the eNightLog technique we designed, we hope to lead our know-how for supporting generate an age-friendly society," said professor Zheng.
The eNightLog process is embedded with celebration sequence monitoring and distinct types of remote sensing and imaging systems. The program relies on modern algorithm formulated through the BME group of polyU. Seventeen units are installed and examined within a nursing home around two months this year for nighttime monitoring. During this era, 380 incidences of sufferers leaving mattress alone were being recorded, all successfully detected (a hundred percent), and only two incidents of untrue alarm occurred (0.5 ).
