Enhancing Senior Safety with Inspiren’s Innovative Technology at The Sheridan at Green Oaks

Introduction

In senior living communities, preserving the dignity, privacy, and independence of residents is paramount. Yet, with falls being a top cause of injuries among the elderly, it presents a unique challenge. The Sheridan at Green Oaks is leading the way by integrating Inspiren’s augmented intelligence sensors, designed to improve residents’ safety while minimizing disruptions.

This advanced technology platform, known as AUGi, helps detect potential hazards and movement issues efficiently, ensuring that residents continue to live their lives with minimal interference. Here we explore how this technology is applied and the benefits it brings to both residents and caregivers.

Technology like AUGi not only provides real-time insights but also aids in creating a balanced environment where safety and independence coexist harmoniously.

Common Causes of Falls in Seniors

Falls can occur for various reasons, impacting seniors’ quality of life and independence. Key factors include previous falls, improper footwear, medical conditions like hypertension or urinary infections, and even effects from medication, all of which may increase fall risk.

Physical issues such as lower-body weakness, vision problems, and vitamin D deficiency also play significant roles. Depression, which is prevalent among older adults, can further complicate the picture by reducing mobility and alertness.

By understanding these triggers, caregivers can better tailor their strategies to prevent falls, incorporating both medical and environmental adjustments tailored to individual needs.

The Role of Augmented Intelligence in Fall Prevention

At The Sheridan at Green Oaks, the AUGi system’s real-time monitoring capabilities allow staff to keep a vigilant eye on potential fall risks without being obtrusive. These sensors are adept at tracking movement patterns that may signify a heightened risk of falling.

The system uses predictive analytics, making it possible to foresee possible falls and take proactive measures. Additionally, AUGi’s integration of virtual reality offers residents a safe environment to strengthen their mobility and balancing skills, effectively reducing fall risks.

Through alerts and automated reports, caregivers can quickly respond to incidents or emerging issues, which significantly reduces response times and enhances overall care quality.
