IoT-powered health monitoring system using radar sensors and ML to predict senior health risks. Targets UK caregivers with clinical-grade fall detection and NHS-trained predictive models via voice assistant integration.
HomePulse redefines elderly care through non-invasive 60GHz radar technology that monitors respiration, movement patterns, and fall risks in real-time. Designed for families managing early-stage dementia patients, the system integrates machine learning models trained on NHS datasets to predict UTIs and cardiac events 72 hours before symptoms manifest, while maintaining GDPR/ISO compliance through edge computing architecture.
