这项由Techniker Krankenkasse领导的研究旨在证明创新的SmartCare紧急检测系统如何帮助独立老年人就地养老
HERZLIYA, Israel, Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Essence SmartCare, a global leader in IoT remote care solutions, has announced it was chosen as the sole technology provider for the "INES" (intelligent emergency detection system) project. Sponsored by the Innovation Fund, the project is being spearheaded by Techniker Krankenkasse (TK), one of the largest health insurance funds in Germany, along with a total of nine partners. The initiative aims to shift Germany's elderly care paradigm, launching a research study to determine to what extent the use of smart emergency systems can effectively improve the care of independent seniors. The INES study will serve as a proof of concept for future initiatives, and is being conducted in tandem with Die Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V., a nonprofit healthcare organization providing aid both in Germany and internationally, and the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK).
以色列赫兹利亚，2024年2月14日 /PRNewswire/ — 物联网远程护理解决方案领域的全球领导者Essence SmartCare宣布，它被选为 “INES”（智能应急检测系统）项目的唯一技术提供商。该项目由创新基金赞助，由德国最大的健康保险基金之一Techniker Krankenkasse（TK）牵头，共有九个合作伙伴。该计划旨在改变德国的老年护理模式，启动了一项研究，以确定使用智能应急系统可以在多大程度上有效改善独立老年人的护理。INES的这项研究将为未来的举措提供概念验证，是与在德国和国际上提供援助的非营利性医疗组织Die Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. 和德国红十字会（DRK）共同进行的。
Recent reports indicate that Germany's aging population will increase 37% by 2055, from roughly 5.0 million to 6.8 million individuals. Concurrent with this shift in demographics is a growing preference among seniors to live independently at home, putting strain on family members, caretakers, and even emergency responders. This collaborative effort underscores the viability and necessity of advanced telecare solutions, positioning Essence SmartCare at the forefront of a fundamental shift in care in Germany, creating a model for cost-effective elderly care and fall detection amid rising expenses associated with senior care facilities and professional caregiving.
最近的报告表明，到2055年，德国的老龄化人口将增加37％，从大约500万增加到680万。在人口结构发生这种变化的同时，老年人越来越倾向于在家中独立生活，这给家庭成员、看护人甚至应急人员带来了压力。这项合作突显了先进的远程护理解决方案的可行性和必要性，使Essence SmartCare处于德国护理领域根本性转变的最前沿，在与老年护理设施和专业护理相关的费用不断增加的情况下，为具有成本效益的老年护理和跌倒检测树立了典范。
The study, which began in June 2023 and will run for 21 months, will provide close to 2,000 seniors over the age of 75 living alone across three regions in Germany with Essence's unique and patented technology to determine the benefits of smart emergency detection devices. This includes the AI-enabled MDsense solution – a radar-based, non-wearable home monitoring system that automatically detects falls and contacts emergency services – as well as its Voice Extender, which allows seniors to make 2-way calls from any room in the home. Essence's platform was chosen as the sole technology provider, catalysing the digital transformation of an analogue health system and enabling individuals to thrive safely within the comfort of their own homes.
该研究始于2023年6月，将持续21个月，将为德国三个地区的近2,000名75岁以上的独居老年人提供Essence独特的专利技术，以确定智能紧急检测设备的益处。这包括支持人工智能的 mdSense 解决方案——一种基于雷达的非可穿戴式家庭监控系统，可自动检测跌倒和联系紧急服务部门——以及其语音扩展器，它允许老年人从家中的任何房间拨打双向电话。Essence的平台被选为唯一的技术提供商，促进了模拟医疗系统的数字化转型，使个人能够在舒适的家中安全地茁壮成长。
"We look forward to embarking on this initiative with TK and their esteemed partners to redefine the standard of care for aging populations in Germany," said Dr. Haim Amir, CEO and Founder of Essence Group. "This is a huge step forward in moving beyond traditional 'red button' solutions, and we're honored our radar fall detection device, MDsense, was selected to drive the transformation -- playing a key role in creating a safer and smarter independent living environment for seniors in a scalable and financially viable way."
Essence Group首席执行官兼创始人海姆·阿米尔博士表示：“我们期待与TK及其尊敬的合作伙伴一起启动这项计划，以重新定义德国老龄化人口的护理标准。”“这是在超越传统的'红色按钮'解决方案方面向前迈出的一大步，我们很荣幸我们的雷达坠落探测设备， MdSense， 被选中是为了推动转型——在以可扩展且经济上可行的方式为老年人创造更安全、更智能的独立生活环境方面发挥了关键作用。”
Essence's radar-based fall detection technology stood out in a thorough vetting process, demonstrating unparalleled reliability with superior accuracy in fall detection and a remarkably low false positives rate. MDsense also distinguished itself with its simple installation, low maintenance, and cost-efficiency. Additionally, Essence's Voice Extender is equipped with intelligent extender capabilities to provide a vital communication link even when the panic button is out of reach. Essence SmartCare emerged as a leader for the INES project based on the company's extensive global experience in remote care solutions and the advanced capabilities of its solutions to meet the needs of seniors living alone in Germany.
Essence 基于雷达的跌倒检测技术在彻底的审查过程中脱颖而出，表现出无与伦比的可靠性、卓越的跌倒检测精度和极低的误报率。 mdSense 还以其简单的安装、低维护和成本效益而脱颖而出。此外，Essence 的语音扩展器配备了智能扩展器功能，即使紧急按钮遥不可及，也能提供重要的通信链接。Essence SmartCare之所以成为INES项目的领导者，是因为该公司在远程护理解决方案方面的丰富全球经验及其解决方案的先进能力，可以满足德国独居老年人的需求。
"At Essence SmartCare, our systems are meticulously designed to deliver a responsive and customizable solutions that maintains the dignity and autonomy of the elderly," said Karin Schifter-Maor, CEO of Essence SmartCare. "As German citizens face rising costs associated with providing elderly care, we recognized an opportunity for Essence to significantly contribute to the development of a cohesive care infrastructure that will empower individuals to live independently, without being overburdened with costs."
Essence SmartCare首席执行官卡琳·希夫特-毛尔表示：“在Essence SmartCare，我们的系统经过精心设计，旨在提供响应式和可定制的解决方案，以维护老年人的尊严和自主权。”“随着德国公民面临与提供老年护理相关的不断上涨的成本，我们意识到Essence有机会为发展凝聚力的护理基础设施做出重大贡献，这将使个人能够独立生活，而不会承受过重的费用负担。”
