Falls are the leading cause of injury death among Americans 65 and older, with 14 million reporting a fall each year. The annual cost of treating fall injuries is projected to cross $101 billion by 2030. AI healthtech company Inspiren operates in over 400 senior living communities, using its AUGi device to detect falls and improve care. The device uses computer vision to interpret body movements, and its Sense device uses radar in bathrooms. Inspiren's technology can also document care time into electronic health records, impacting the economics of senior living businesses. The adoption curve is steeper in assisted living communities, where families are paying customers seeking transparency.
