Project description: 

The EOCARE-5F initiative aims to transform older adult care by developing innovative, low-maintenance wearable devices optimised for 5G connectivity. To overcome the impracticalities of expecting older adults to carry mobile devices continuously, the project focuses on creating user-friendly wearables that can be "fit-and-forget." These devices are to function without daily charging and minimal user interaction, leveraging cutting-edge 5G infrastructure to provide real-time data on essential health metrics like gait analysis and fall detection. The potential to directly transmit this data to healthcare providers can enable immediate interventions, enhancing the safety and well-being of older adults.
