The grant will fund a feasibility study of ‘Talius’, which combines data analytics with sensor technology to prevent falls in residential aged care.
Talius incorporates an algorithm originally developed and tested in an in-home care setting by CSIRO.
“The use of CSIRO’s monitored smart technologies in home care has demonstrated that for older adults with Home Care Packages, the intervention benefited their social care related quality of life,” said Marlien Varnfield, Principal Research Scientist, at CSIRO’s Australian e-Health Research Centre.
