Alpha Global Digital Angel fall detection and activity solution

Digital Angel by Alpha Global is a fall detection and activity solution for aged-care and hospital enterprises.

Built on artificial intelligence (AI), the machine learning capability allows users to program and add multiple scenarios into the platform. This means we can monitor and tailor for different risk profiles for resident care.

Using optical sensors, the Digital Angel software will identify human activity to alert support staff when falls and other events occur. This system allows for 24/7 in-room monitoring to ensure incidents are swiftly responded to. For example, when an event, such as movement in an at-risk resident room or a fall in an en suite occurs, an alarm is triggered and an alert is sent to the care team platform to enable assessment and appropriate action to be taken.

Although Digital Angel is not a surveillance system in the typical sense, it does come under the privacy laws. As optical sensors are used to achieve 24/7 human activity monitoring, consent must be obtained from the residents and or family in order to use this technology.

Other features and benefits include: customised to each resident and care requirements; scalable — it can be activated in all or just selected rooms; common areas can also be covered if required; staff have no on-demand access to cameras.
