AFrame nets NIH grant for remote monitoring of elderly falls
AFrame Digital has been awarded a follow-on grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute on Aging for further research in fall reductions using its mobile care monitor platform, a wristwatch-like device that communicates a users’ motion and location data to cloud-based monitoring and alerting resources.
AFrame will be conducting this latest study with support from John Lach, MD, associate professor in the Charles L. Brown Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Virginia and the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Virginia, AFrame, of Reston, Va., stated.
For this grant, AFrame will be working with Vinson Hall where 30 independent living resident volunteers, aged 65 and older will be part of the research. The residents will be monitored in their normal living environment so that researchers can capture daily living activities.
