The FallWatch, an EU-funded reserch project, brought together a wealth of European technology and expertise in a tiny triangular patch called Vigi’Fall that can be worn by the user in a non-intrusive, permanent manner.
Unique Vigi’Fall fall detection solution, deveopled within the project, could help save 500,000 hospitalisations and 40,0001 premature deaths caused by falls in Europe every year.
