EverWrist Fall Detection Field Trial Completed

Thirty percent of adults 65 years and older fall each year, often suffering dangerous closed head injury and long bone fractures. Fall-related injuries are the number one reason for emergency room visits and the leading cause of injury-related deaths among elderly adults.

Barron Associates’ EverWrist wrist-based fall detection system was recently evaluated both in the laboratory and in a field trial in seniors’ homes. The EverWrist system demonstrated excellent fall detection capabilities with an extremely low false-alarm rate.
