One in three people over the age of 65 falls during the year. Once the door is closed, how do you know if an elderly person has fallen? How do I know if she’s lost consciousness? There are several systems on the market that reassure seniors and their loved ones: classic remote assistance, fall detectors or active remote assistance.
Tunstall, a specialist in remote assistance and connected health in France, has recently offered the “580” watch.
