EMMA


EMMA  is a health care platform designed for autonomous monitoring of the elders. The core function of EMMA is to monitor falls, a primary risk for the elderly.

Falls accounts for 10% acute hospital admissions, with the total cost of NHS amounting to £1.7bn, with EMMA the NHS can cut their cost by reducing the medical complications for post recovery after a non detected fall.

EMMA is not only a fall detector but an open source health care platform that can be extended with additional bio-sensors such as pulse rate monitors,

blood pressure monitors, eeg/ecg sensors and home automation devices  like PIR sensors, gas/fire sensors, power meters and so on.
