Up to 50 senior citizens living alone at Razak Mansion will join a six-month pilot project using AI-powered thermal and radar sensors to monitor safety and detect falls.
KUALA LUMPUR: Up to 50 senior citizens living alone at Razak Mansion will benefit from a six-month pilot project using artificial intelligence (AI)-powered sensors to detect falls and monitor their safety without compromising their privacy.
Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil said the initiative would use thermal and radar sensors, rather than cameras, to detect unusual movements and potential emergencies, with alerts sent to caregivers and relevant authorities.
He said the project would assess the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to improve elderly care, particularly for those living alone.
