The Fall Suspicion Notification function supports care professionals and caregivers by providing notifications of unusual abrupt movements or changes in a care recipient's body position.
The Fall Suspicion Notification is an additional supportive function of the alea system outside the medical intended purpose. It is intended solely to provide information for the organizational support of care processes and does not replace the professional assessment of a care situation by healthcare professionals or any medical assessment.
To achieve this, the alea medical device software evaluates sensor data and may provide a notification when unusual movement or body position patterns are detected.
The information and notifications provided are intended to:
-
indicate an unusual abrupt movement or change in body position,
-
support care professionals in assessing the current situation,
-
support the organization and prioritization of care activities.
The function does not provide a medical assessment, confirmation of a fall event or an emergency assessment.
In particular, it is not intended to:
-
detect or confirm a fall,
-
detect emergency situations,
-
diagnose medical conditions or injuries, or
-
derive medical or nursing-related measures.
The professional assessment of the situation and the decision regarding the type, timing and implementation of any required measures always remain the responsibility of the responsible care professionals.
