I was reading through a discussion about how there are incidents of someone dying in a home and unfortunately, nobody found them for a while. Well, someone mentioned an ingenious idea on this front, and maybe a way to even save a life of someone who maybe has fallen and can't get to a phone:
I'm actually working for a company developing a solution intending to prevent these types of incidents. Water usage and other things are tracked in the apartment of an elderly person living alone, if they do not use water for an X amount of time, a warning is sent out and someone checks in on them.
It's intended to allow people to live at home for longer with increased security.
That is such a brilliant idea, and I hope it saves some lives!
